“Project Exile.
Use it.”
Exactly.
But Democrats refuse to allow Project Exile in their big cities. And the unsaid reason is that such programs lock black thugs up in Federal prisons. In Chicago as in all other Democrat big cities the Mayors would not permit such Government intervention that would directly affect their supporters.
FBI confirms the deadly costs of a ‘War on Cops’
A new FBI report finds that the “War on Cops” is real and has deadly consequences.
Undertaken last year after a spate of cop-killings around the nation, the study confirms that areas across the nation have seen “de-policing” in the wake of protests that political leaders seemed to support.
“Law enforcement not only felt that their national political leaders [publicly] stood against them, but also that the politicians’ words and actions signified that disrespect to law enforcement was acceptable in the aftermath of the [Michael] Brown shooting,” the study notes.
“The Assailant Study — Mindsets and Behaviors” examines the men behind 50 cop-killings last year. Most of the perps were simply looking to avoid arrest, but a full 28 percent actively hated police and desired to “kill law enforcement.”
Several, including the killers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, were clearly inspired by the protests that began in Ferguson, Mo.
Nor does the role of movements like Black Lives Matter end there: A number of the killers, the FBI found, were more willing to use deadly force because they believed they were less likely to pay a heavy price for it in the new environment. And, in fact, the study notes that officers across the country report a withdrawal from proactive policing.
In short, the FBI has again proved the Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald right. She’s spent the last two years describing this dynamic, stating (for example), “Chicago is Exhibit A in what happens when the police back off from enforcing public order, having been told that maintaining control of the streets constitutes racial oppression.”

“But Democrats refuse to allow Project Exile in their big cities.”
I don’t believe the Feds need permission to prosecute Federal crimes.

Since Ferguson, the Ferguson police department has been running at 60 percent strength. That’s three years straight. The Berkeley Police Department, just west of them is running at 50 percent strength. They too, suffered greatly from the protests.
St. Louis County lost so many officers that they are hiring EVERYONE in the police academy, which typically has some “free agents” who can get recruited to other police agencies.
There are police agencies in St. Louis county that have NO applicants, or not enough to fill vacancies, a problem that has NEVER arisen.
About 18 months ago, in an effort to draw potential candidates from the “affected areas”, they ran a general job fair. They had over one hundred candidates show up from the affected areas.
Only seven could pass the background. Of those, ALL of them washed out in the next phase of screening.
In my bachelor’s classes in Criminal Justice, NOT ONE person wanted to be a police officer, and we are talking at least thirty different individuals. They all wanted pre-law or to be probation officers.
St. Louis City will lose at least 100 officers to St. Louis County because of the pay bump County just got. St. Louis City is already understaffed by at least 150 officers and cannot send people through the academy fast enough to replace them.
The Ferguson effect is very real and it is nationwide. I curse Jay Nixon daily and the fool Highway Patrol Captain they put in charge during the riots. They allowed this fester instead of being strong and it spread like a cancer. Well, many police got tired of it, got out and told everyone else to stay out of the field.
People did not need much reinforcement after seeing the debacles in Ferguson and Baltimore. I personally tell every young person that I see not to get into police work.
