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.”
And it begins.
They can t run their own affairs what the hell they taking on something else
And thus begins the formation of dictatorship
Let em have ferguson first. Then we can all just sit back and watch the epic fail.
Can you say “police state”?
Are they kidding?
Is there anyone here who watched the video? Hello? Hello?
yep this may be what is needed
OK, let’s see where we stand: We have an elected despot in the White House who is currently negotiating away our children’s future in more ways than can be listed, a runaway and non-responsive, totally corrupt congress, countless bureaucracies creating law without input from the citizens and accountable to no-one, an economy that is in the toilet but is presented by the lapdog, propagandist media as being better every day, a stock market that is completely untethered from normal economic and political influences, non-existent borders, oh, and personal liberties falling away like leaves in the autumn winds. I guess everything is just jim-freaking-dandy if you want to live in a third-world tin pot dictatorship.
Did I miss anything?
Couldn’t have said it better! But don’t forget the total dismantling of our military superiority and the proliferation of radical islam!
You are on a roll do not stop,if only more people would have the brains to see the reality !!!!!
