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.”
Racism is alive a well thanks to these characters.
Look, you stupid PINHEAD, we don’t need the federal government in our local and state law enforcement. All they do is constipate systems just like the IRS does. This sure sounds like a $#%&!@*-type take over of all our rights. Think about it, Eric, who pays your salary? Taxpayers do so, best you don’t p**s us off! And, you want to be a Supreme Court Judge? Bwahahaha!!! NO! I don’t think you could get the votes you need as you’re one of the most hated people in DC for being so stupid, gullible & Obama’s water boy!
Holder and his cronies should be in prison for breaking the laws they have broken …………….
This is communism. Where is McCarthy? Boy does he need to clean this out!
I can’t believe the American people aren’t SCREAMING about this to not only their reps, but everyone they know! There is absolutely NO REASON for this other than evil. Isn’t that perfectly clear?
This idiot group need to be dealt with. This country doesn’t need anymore government interference with anything.
Any who support this by taking action against American citizens are traitors and should be shot on sight!
BS
AGREE GET THAT $#%&!@* HOLE OUT OF OFFICE PERIOD
Today………….think GOD!
