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.”
They need to leave states’ rights alone. Remember what happened last time the government tried to impose it’s right on them.
Nuts he’s an $#%&!@*hole
Now comes martial law.
I thought he had resigned in disgrace? But I guess there’s a lot more disgrace to be had before he actually resigns.
No! Its not up to ten States . Get your heads out of your postiors and see what’s going on. Quit allowing these jerks to dismantle everything our forefathers and servicemen have caught and died for. Its not about what the Government wants and can get away with.
Remember they work for us.
Look at their voting records not what their lips are flapping.
Their voting records tell their story and who pulls their strings.
I choose to be free and not under government control and tyrant. I choose to vote these idiots out and keep my freedom. I’m not giving up my rights. Dont give up yours.
If you give up your rights willingly then you dont deserve them.
Go live in another country and see how you like those conditions and government power over you.
Why is he still here??
Impeach OB and fire his whole administration.
Gestapo tactics
When will this STOP? This is a script from the $#%&!@* regime and every belief of the Communist around the world. If the newly elected congress cannot stop the stronger, and stronger government hold on the people, all I can say is exercise the second amendment, and folks, that is exactly why it was placed as the number 2 in importance. Buy, learn about the functions and lots and lots of ammo. . .NOW, where are the governors and the mayors going to speak out. . .this is a very dangerous situation and it must STOP.
Here is the face of socialism
