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.”
Obama & Holder must be stopped. Impeach them both!
Dont tread on me
We will still out number them….
About time
Again Bend Over , Grab Knees , And hold Breath because more of this shi… is coming !
It’s getting pretty predictable these days. You can count on every interaction with their supporters will at some point label you as a racist, bigot, or the signature fruit loop bi polar foaming at the mouth fit of I am losing this argument. That one seems to be popular.
Federal take over better come with federal pay
It is not an honor to be chosen for federal government interference and control. The Muslim Obama is a committed Marxist-Leninist who wants to destroy the independence of cities and states. Anyone remember how the Soviet Union did with its national control over law enforcement?
Well, now there will be at least 6 cities screwed to helland back. Just involve the governent and it is screwed to no return !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
There is little in the Obama/Holder present or background to give reason to trust them on anything. They are for Total Government Control in the Communist model over everything…which always ends up badly.
