President Obama on Monday will focus on the relationship between local police and the communities they protect and serve in the wake of sometimes violent protests in Ferguson, Mo.
Obama will meet with Cabinet members to discuss a review the president ordered in August of federal funding and programs that provide equipment to state and local law enforcement agencies, according to the White House.
Law enforcement officials were criticized for their militarized response to protests in Ferguson after a police officer shot and killed an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown. A grand jury last week refused to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the case.
After meeting with his Cabinet, Obama will gather young civil rights leaders to the Oval Office, the White House said. Topics for that discussion will include the mistrust between law enforcement and communities of color.
Later Monday, the president will meet with elected officials, community, civil rights and faith leaders, and law enforcement officials. That meeting will center on ways communities and law enforcement can work together to build trust to strengthen neighborhoods.
Recent events in Ferguson and elsewhere have shown the need for "strong, collaborative relationships" between local police and their communities, a White House official said.
The official also said a "disintegration of trust" between law enforcement and the people they protect and serve can destabilize communities and undermine the legitimacy of the criminal justice system. Public safety can also be undermined, the official added.
Current and former police chiefs said on Sunday that law enforcement agencies around the nation must not repeat the mistakes that led to riots in Ferguson.
Former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik and deputy Dallas police chief Malik Aziz, appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” criticized the police response to social unrest in Ferguson and said officials failed to anticipate a volatile situation.
Everything this jerk touches turns to puke.
He created Ferguson.
This will not end well.
Eyewash.
0bama WANTS the world to burn. Well, as much of it as possible...

Ferguson = Obama’s Reichstag Fire.
Absolutely, and purposely in my view.
This reminds me of a campfire going out. They’re out of wood and sprinting into the forest to get more, and at least one person is feverishly blowing on the coals.
“Perhaps 0bama should reach out to “all” communities through the Justice Department to inform them that robbery, assault, rioting, looting and arson are crimes that will not be tolerated.”
THAT Dear Sir would be counter to his agenda.
Just burn it all down.
A bonfire is always a friendly way to spend an evening.
No doubt in my mind you’re right.
“Recent events in Ferguson and elsewhere have shown the need for “strong, collaborative relationships” between local police and their communities.”
In other words, the Marxist will recommend these communities not have ANY police. After all, we cannot have law and order imposing an unnecessary burden on these oppressed citizens, or else inevitably we will end up with MORE crime.
"refused"..............give me a freaking break.
"militarized"........puhleeze
I guess when you're writing for low information voters, that's how you do it.
Well said, FRiend.
Dear Mr. Community Disorganizer,
We do not need or want you to “solve” the problem that you created.
So kindly piss off.
Kthx.
Obama plans to put all police forces under federal jurisdiction, using the same tactics that have been used by the federal government to gain control of our school systems. Give money for programs, and use that funding to demand compliance. Obama may be doing this under the guise of lessening the militarization of local police forces, but the end result will be the opposite. Our local police forces will essentially become a standing military to be used against civilians, not the rioters and looters, but ordinary citizens who refuse to kowtow to the resocialization by radical Democrats.
Does anyone even know how well he scored as a Chicago community organizer/race based agitator?
