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.”
April Fools???
we can not let this happen, put a stop to this
Very disturbing
You guys are morons. Y’all just come to any conclusion you feel like. When you guys watch videos like this, do you actually listen? At absolutely no point was there even a remote mention (metaphorically or otherwise) to federal law enforcement takeover. Idiots. It’s, basically, cl$#%&!@*es that are going to be established in the 6 cities to help train law enforcement. LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL WORDS PEOPLE SAY. Seriously, listen! All too often people get bent out of shape over complete misunderstandings. It’s laughable at this point.
If one has learned ANYTHING during these last 6 yrs of “fundamental transformation of AmeriKa” it is that we can read between the lines of this corrupt Obamination administration and always see their true intention.
I am a realist just venting, sad to see the State of the Nation in such decline since I was a kid.
This guy is such a screw up he can’t even resign in a reasonable manor of time. http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/25/politics/eric-holder-resignation/index.html 6 months????????? What you think would happen if i told my boss i quit then continued going to work for 6 months? pretty certain the resignation was just a show at this point.
There’s no bigger moron than one who doesn’t realize when history begins to repeat itself. Cl$#%&!@*es? The $#%&!@*s “reeducated” law enforcement and the people to their way of thinking.
So they can screw it up like everything else?
You see. Gen up racism and cause the riots and create a crisis so the Goverment can come to the rescue and fix It for your own good. Takeover healthcare, takeover law inforcement, put 10’s of million of people on Goverment $#%&!@*istance, take control of the education system, take over the banks and drown the country in debt, and then take the weapons. Keep voting Democrat……..Republican…. Wake up or sleep forever
Why not 7, 8, or 50?
