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.”
This will grow to all states s o on, under $#%&!@*, I mean Hillary, and you will have dictator communism! !
Why doesn’t the admin worry about policing their commander in chief and making sure he is doing his job…..That’s what this admin is paid the big dollars to do after all.. They can’t seem to control government following the laws of the land… You know the cons$#%&!@*ution or secure our border and with jihad camps all over the use… What do you think will be happening soon? When you have someone constantly trying to disarm their own people and trying to financially ruin them but give it all to illegal law breaking people and arming the enemy..now want to replace police… Those that are willing to shoot people that will stand up to these crazies perhaps???? Ww3 is coming and unfortunately it looks as if it will be Americans fighting for their rights… So sad watching our country being thrown down the toilet
That will be the start of no freedom any where. We need less law and more enforcement of the punishment. Tougher the better. From talking to ex cons life in prison is better than being out and home having to work. Its is like a Vacation every day. Sad isn’t it?
