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.”
Our Muslim-in-chief is still trying to take over all of the U.S. hopefully, the next President will start repealing the Executive orders that the idiot in chief has put on us.
Storm troopers are here, they are called The Department of Homeland Security [DHS], Obama’s private civilian army!
He knows who he is, the question is who do you think will stop him? Maybe the Democrats who elected this rogue regime? Not likely!
The govt is for All of Americans, not the top5% earners….89% of Americans of govt $#%&!@*istance are seniors, veterans and disabled Americans…. But u don’t care about them…. Christians would never starve people to feed corporations!!!
Stop Obama from what??? What is he doing so outrageous that he has to be stopped??? What crime has he committed: because he has abide by the same laws as you & I. You said he was going to take your guns well you still have them. Oh I know what you want to stop 16,000,000 people have healthcare; you hate that don’t you?
Give congress credit they tried to repeal it over fourty times and still trying. Maybe you hate fiftyeight straight months of job growth. Perhaps you hate that the unemployment rates are the lowest they’ve been since the last democrat been in the Whitehouse. Again what is it you want stopped???
Thank you Jesus for saving my soul. Thank you Lord for making me whole. God bless America.
You better research your numbers there Larry. The Lamestream media knows how to word stuff for “gullible” people. Unemployment is down because a lotta benefits ran out. And all those supposed jobs created are barely minimum wage. 2 working adults could barely provide for a family. But you go ahead and praise the boss that allowed banks to yank 100s of thousands of people’s homes away from them because of stupid bank practices. You the man!! LoL
Oh, and health care. Check out how many families lost health care because of cost and corporate cut backs. Yeah, our govt helped those that can’t seem to help themselves. But the ones that were getting along fine were screwed. WAy to go Obama. Our govt has become a joke
Won’t That
This is scary as hell on earth!
