Birmingham, AL has been chosen as one of 6 states the feds will use to pilot the nationalization of local and state law enforcement agencies. Touted as initiative to ‘build community trust’ between citizens and local police, this takeover follows the age-old Marxist pattern of cloaking despotism within a faux security blanket.
The other pilot cities include Ft. Worth, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Stockton, Birmingham and Gary, Indiana.
Attorney General Eric Holder made the announcement today. The $4.7 million National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice was announced in April and is a partnership between federal officials and criminal justice experts focused on providing training, policy and research to address distrust between citizens and law enforcement.
The other pilot cities are: Ft. Worth, Gary, Indiana, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh and Stockton. The initiative comes after several high profile fatal police-involved shootings.
“We are truly honored that DOJ would select Birmingham as one of six national pilot sites,” said Birmingham police Chief A.C. Roper. “The mayor and I actually started discussing this initiative several months ago and knew there would be over 100 cities vying for the limited opportunities.”
“We’re all aware of the modern day issues and national discussion on policing in America. Although we’ve worked extremely hard building bridges in our communities we saw this initiative as an opportunity to strengthen relationships, increase public cooperation, and improve the perception of police legitimacy across our city,” Roper said. “We truly recognize that the Birmingham Police Department cannot be successful without community support and community trust. This three year project will allow us to serve as a national police model and increase our capacity to serve our citizens.”
The Department of Justice started the initiative as part of the My Brother’s Keeper program, which seeks to create opportunities for all young people throughout the country – regardless of background – to improve their lives and reach their full potential.
“We are always committed to engaging with the community to ensure that we are serving them and hearing their concerns,” Birmingham U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance said in a prepared statement. “We want to do a good job of listening, so that we can work together to make the community safe. We appreciate the opportunity to be one of the six pilot sites in this initiative, and the recognition from Washington that we are trying to get it right down here.”
Arrest Holder if he shows up in any state. Charge him with treason and it’ll stick with any jury.
Hope you are right John Hrycyk!
WE WILL SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT FOR YOU HOLDER.
THE STATES SHOULD FIGHT THIS
This is being allowed why? Pratice for martial law. WAKE UP PEOPLE. REMEMBER $#%&!@*?
Congress get him out of office. I guess you all want marshial law or muslim law?? If not then what are you waiting for the freedom we know and have enjoyed till the muslim obama came to the Whitehouse.
I have heard of another country did this. I think it was back in WW II.
A LOT of people that live in surrounding cities and towns travel into Pittsburgh all the time for a game, dinner or a show or go to the science center or just a night out. Once people figure out the police force is Federal, people will stop going to the city to spend money and businesses will start to close!!! It will be the beginning of the downfall of the economy for sure!!!!!

Ridiculous. America, wake up!
