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.”
Better wake up America – It is almost to late already!
That is ridiculous, to help out the younger people get jobs of other nationalities, what is stopping them, their welfare checks, why should they have to work when they can get over 60,000.00 free dollars, the children can go to college for free, the women can have as many children as they want for free, they have free room and board, can eat what ever they want for free. If these people wanted jobs they could go into the military, go to college for free be anything they want. I have worked all my life could not afford to have more than 2 children, wanted 10. I make 50,000.00 a year and the government takes 13,000.00 of it in taxes, I have to cut my own yard, pay for my own food, could not afford to send my children to college. The people in the Whitehorse have no idea what they are doing. There are Rappers making millions of dollars a year off the American people and turn around and tell them they hate all of us. Mr Obama, Mr. Muslin, with your yes men, holder and sll the others are tearing America apart . I thought it was so weird when I went to Washington DC a few years ago to see all these Muslim men all over the place in suits and briefcases and early saw the white oppressors as we are called now, and I see why America is being taken over by Muslims and President Obama is the worst
No, don’t let that happen. The government is in too much control now. What next?
Lol I sit here reading these comments and can’t believe people think this is real… This reminds me of when HG Wells played war of the world’s and everyone thought we were being Invaded by aliens. Seriously people this is your country if you don’t know what’s real versus what’s f**e were in a heap of trouble. EDUCATION…. this is how a country falls is when paranoia and rumors take over…
Here we go folks. Don’t let this happen!
Here comes the Alinski leftist tactic of more Federal take- overs. I can’t wait for the time when a red blooded American is at the helm again. D’Souza was spot on in his 2 films, 2016 & America.
You may be correct but don’t be fooled by sticking your head in the sand and pretending it can’t happen. Just be cautious.
State sovereignty,
Uncons$#%&!@*utional, so illegal once again. Not good for any American.
Wow, we’re so close to becoming a communist controlled country.
