Call it Common Core for police. But the White House, in cahoots with the Department of Justice, has set in motion a plan that will expand federal control of community police forces, via standards handed from above called the “Task Force on 21st Century Policing.”
The plan was released Monday, Infowars reported. And its gist? Like Common Core, the education plan criticized by opponents as little more than a federal mandate that’s tied to funding, the just-released police plan would force local law enforcement agencies to follow federally set standards in return for receiving federal tax dollars.
“The U.S. Department of Justice, through the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS] and Office of Justice Programs, should provide technical assistance and incentive funding to jurisdictions with small police agencies that take steps towards shared services, regional training and consolidation,” one of the plan’s points stated.
The proposal also advocates for the federal collection of more data from local police.
“There is a lack of uniformity in data collection throughout law enforcement, and only patchwork methods of near real-time information sharing exist,” the plan stated, in the “national standards” section, Infowars found. “These problems are especially critical in light of the threats from terrorism and cybercrime.”
President Obama said he hoped to soon implement the plan among the nation’s 18,000 or so law enforcement jurisdictions.
“I’m going to be asking Eric Holder and the Justice Department and his successor to go through all these recommendations so that we can start implementing them,” Obama said, according to Infowars. “I know that one area that’s going to be of great interest is whether we can expand the COPS program that in the past has been very effective, continues to be effective, but is largely underfunded – to see if we can get more

Our form of Government is gone regardless , because as John Adams said, Our [Constitutional] Government is for moral men [women]. It will work for no other. As our morals, as a Nation, sink below the morals of an alleycat, so does our Constitutional form of Government. Our Government is thoroughly corrupt from the Court House to the white House.
Yes they do.
No it isn’t.
No—in the people, who run things.
We’ve never seen anything like this, so history can’t tell us a thing.
The don’t have a lockdown on their power.
Because he’ll be there for two more years.
This is unbroken ground.
Reaction (which will be initiated by the people in this case, not the politians) tends to match action. The magnitude of Obama’s actions are unprecedented.
Nothing like this has ever been seen or tested, so as I mentioned already history can tell us nothing here.
The police unions supported Obama. They acted stupidly.
Then they can die by the sword.
This coercion has to end. States have become like crack addicts for federal bucks.
[[No it isn’t.]]
With the spineless GOP we have in office, yes it is irreversible- they won’t do a damn thing to reverse any of it- practically- once THEY have the p ower themselves, they will be just as corrupt as the left is-
I have no doubt John Boner and Mitch McWeasal will sponsor and fund this fascist crap and their minions will bleat yes master and go right along with it.
Sarge - isn’t a ‘national police force’ against the law?
People can reverse it. Politicians terrified of this.
He wants his “Brown Shirts” and will get them one way or another. There are Federal, State, County and local laws. Odumbo needs to keep his hands off any thing to do with states and leave those up to individual states. It starts with one small step and eventually, we will have a “gestapo” gubmint law enforcement.
Funding the law enforcement departments will be akin to handing out welfare, once given you can’t take it back.
Numerous cities and counties have already be “given” armored personnel carriers and such type vehicles for their “storm tropper” use again US, WE, the People.
Get ready folks, the bastard is not done taking over this country yet.
The goal Obama has is one law for blacks and minorities, and another law for whites and Asians.
What an idiot these DOJ guys are. The States will never permit the nationalization of local police authority.
