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 WE ARE GOING TO STAND BY AND LET THIP HAPPEN, WHY??????
The takeover of America continues unopposed by the GOP.
The States need to fight back on this, I believe they would win in Court== This appears to be part of a Dictator takeover, hope I am wrong !!!
Might I ask a question ?? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT HIS INCOMPETENT ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE OVER?????………..
I was born and raised in Fort Worth and am thoroughly disgusted that law endorcement officials are goose-step marching in concert with our current communist regime government. I wonder how much of our tax dollars was spent on enticing the Fort Worth PD to get on board? Let me tell you, the lie that this will build trust within the communities is wrong. Dead wrong. The militarization of our Police Departments will only bring distrust and su$#%&!@*ion.
been trying to get people to wake up for a couple of years, guess they have to be marching into fema camps to do so
Martial Law by King Obama is coming.
Oh no the federal government does not need to take over nothing because they can not run Washington .
how about the states take over the DOJ instead
Hey stupid people if it takes a revolution that’s what they get. !!! Lock and load people lock and load !!!!!!!!! Wake up!!!!!
