In the newest outrage circumventing the U.S. Constitution, President Barack Obama just announced a federal government scheme to diminish and overwhelm local law enforcement, starting with six key cities which in essence will have their local law enforcement federalized by programs imposed from Washington. The administration will establish funding ploys that punish non-compliance and incorporate federally mandated programs.
Throughout Obama’s time in office there have been whispers about his plan to federalize local law enforcement and questions about the increasing power and authority given to federal agencies such as Homeland Security. Those concerns have always been ridiculed by the Administration and the press as paranoid flights of fancy by the slightly unhinged.
It now seems these were not imaginary fears and that the Administration has only been waiting for the right time and opportunity to launch their programs. As former Administration member Rahm Emmanuel once suggested, you should “never let a good crisis go to waste.” And that would certainly include a crisis ginned up by those who now pretend they want to help solve it with the heavy hand of the federal government.

All these f need to be put out of office now
The fact that you can’t write without name calling takes away your credibility. That and your thinking is messed up.
And what if the feds are controlled by Muslims which enforce sharia law? Oooo, possible future there
That sounds like Martial law!
Couldn’t agree more
HELL NO
what an unconstitutional load of c**p.
Once again, Congress does nothing!
What Obama knows about police work, you could put in your eye and not have to blink. He’s screwed up our military, now he wants to do the same to police departments. The police are the most qualified to address the problems in their communities.
He will fail at this. Like anything else he does.
