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.”
It is Un-Cons$#%&!@*utional, Illegal, and Anti-American for the Federal Government to take over any state or local governments. This is sounding more and more like $#%&!@*’s Germany in World War II.
$#%&!@*. Ugh!
Republican paranoia at its best.
Wake up GOP & start impeachment ptocredings now. Stop $#%&!@* footing around.when you people set back & watch what is going & do nothing makes me think I voted for the wrong bunch. If this id true you can bet you want getmy vote next time. We are not paying you people to set on your $#%&!@*es & fo nothing.
If this is allowed the UN will be moving in. Muslum types.
Sam Peace: Obama is a Muslim. He appointed some Muslims to His staff! He wants total control of us!
’tis only the beginning…once they take over the cities and states, it’s over. The dictator will soon emerge; or has he already…America moved away from God and is handed over to her fate.
That c**p must end, here and now.
I suppose the members of Congress and the members of the Senate are being paid to look the other way! They have good salaries and benefits! SHAME ON THEM!
The intentions of the current administration are unmistakable. If you enjoy living in a totalitarian government stop reading now. If you dislike the idea the Bill of Rights and Cons$#%&!@*ution have offered us for 320 years you can stop reading now. If you have supported those who have given their lives, their blood sweat and tears to ensure our freedom, then prepoare to continue that support. If you have spent Anytime in the Military Service to protect those freedoms, prepare to do it again. Personally, I spent 20 years of my life to ensure this Republic and its citizens would never be threatened with Communism, Marxism, Socialism, or any other form of government that seeks to SUBORN the rights of ALL citizens, If you view the Muslim faith as a supporter of terror, prepare to defend that belief. If you are a foreign born Female advisor to the President, you should be ashamed. Anyone who seeks to foment an overthrow of Republic democracy, prepare to defend that desire. To all FREEDOM loving members of this great Reoublic who have yet to realize precisely what the current administration has planned, PLEASE read all you can find on these people and Islam.
