If the Thugs, thieves and hard core criminals think things are tough with local policing, just wait until THE National Police Force takes over. Any guesses what they will be called? I mean before they crack down on all of the degenerates that THINK govt is their friend.
Comey will really be fuming when the DOJ refuses to indict Mrs Clinton.
“With his remarks, Mr. Comey lent the prestige of the F.B.I., the nation’s most prominent law enforcement agency, to a theory that is far from settled: that the increased attention on the police has made officers less aggressive and emboldened criminals. But he acknowledged that there is so far no data to... “
Prestige?What Prestige?The FBI has proven to be as corrupt as the Congress,The IRS,The EPA and the President of the United States.So who is he kidding?
When I see the FBI investigating the Crimes that Obama and his underlings have committed in the last 7 years then I’ll believe that they are a legit law enforcement agency.
It seems to me that Right Now they’re very selective in what crimes their going to investigate and what Perps their going to be focusing their attention on.
Maybe when they truly start to enforce our constitution and laws then they’ll get their respect back.
Has anyone done a study to see if doughnut sales have gone up? Active shooter call comes in, “Sorry, we’re on break right now.” Or, “Geez we’re on the other side of town with a flat tire. Or, “You kiddin’? Risk getting sued or thrown in jail for doing our job? No thanks.”

Obama’s Tragic Let ’em Out Fantasy
The president leads the charge to cut the prison population, but mass incarceration isn’t the problem. Rising crime is.

President Obama paid a media-saturated visit in July to a federal penitentiary in Oklahoma. The cell blocks that he toured had been evacuated in anticipation of his arrival, but after talking to six prescreened inmates he drew some conclusions about the path to prison. “These are young people who made mistakes that aren’t that different than the mistakes I made and the mistakes that a lot of you guys made,” the president told the waiting journalists. The implication was that anyone who had smoked marijuana and tried cocaine (as Mr. Obama had) could land in a place like the El Reno Federal Correctional Institution.
The conceit was preposterous. It takes a lot more than marijuana or cocaine use to end up in federal prison. But the truth didn’t matter. Mr. Obama’s prison tour came amid the biggest delegitimation of law enforcement in recent memory. Activists, politicians and the media have spent the past year broadcasting a daily message that the criminal-justice system is biased against blacks and insanely draconian. The immediate trigger for this movement, known as Black Lives Matter, was a series of highly publicized deaths of black males at the hands of the police. But the movement also builds on a long-standing discourse from the academic left about “mass incarceration,” policing and race.
The demonization of the police and the criminal-justice system must end. As the Black Lives Matter movement marches forward with no apparent diminution of strength, there are signs that the very legitimacy of law and order is breaking down in urban areas. Resistance to lawful police action is becoming routine. Officers are reluctant to engage, given the nonstop campaign against them. Homicides in 35 large U.S. cities this year were up nearly 20% by August. Liberal elites have successfully kept attention focused exclusively on phantom police and criminal-justice racism while squelching even the most nascent discussion of the crime-breeding chaos of broken families at the heart of inner-city underclass culture. We are playing with fire.

Director Comey is absolutely correct. Aggressiveness is not brutality in police work or war - it is a necessity. We enabled our enemy by restrictive rules of engagement in the sandbox with bad results. The same thinking is restricting our police on the streets and the results will be even worse because air strikes are not an option.
Look no further than New York where they have mostly removed stop and frisk as a law enforcement tool - the number of shootings is continuing to climb. Officers are constantly calculating risk vs reward in police work. There is little risk in “not acting” in police work. When they perceive elevated risks in doing proactive police work they will do less of it and the criminals are emboldened. Do not forget - coinciding with this moment in time is the new push to release thousands of offenders back onto the streets by the Fed government and many states. On top of that, illegal immigration has undeniably allowed more criminals onto our streets.
Combine this with demographics (more young males 16-24), relaxed attitudes towards narcotics (fuels the majority of crime), and a very liberal court system that releases more offenders. The left is great at presenting ideas that sound good in theory, but they always deny human history and the fact that those they talk about in theory do not share the core values necessary for such theory to work. The results will not be good.
It is not a good time to be in police work - especially in the inner-cities. It won’t be a good time to live there either.
Gee, what happened to the otherwise obligatory "alleged"?
Baltimore, Chicago, New York to name a few. They all have one thing in common. DimoKKKRAT control and high concentrations of blacks.
If blacks were removed from this nation, the USA would be a rather peaceful, safe country......but I’m a racist so what do I know..
Well, the Leftists WANTED increased lawlessness and now they’ve got it...and they’re STILL not happy, LOL!
American Patriots? Keep your powder dry and aim small, miss small. :)
he’ll be gone for “personal” reasons very soon...
In their continuing drive to conquer America blacks want and are obtaining control of police departments across the nation. Once consolidated God help the now trivial white.
Not settled???? In other news today, water is wet and fire is hot.
OF COURSE if you threaten someone with prosecution and imprisonment for doing his job, he is going to be less enthusiastic about doing his job!!!!!!
I hear Dr. Carson said something weird in 1987. Hold the presses!
/sarc
Obama wanted Chaos ,he got Chaos
Duh! It’s part of the plan to destroy America!
It’s patently obvious that in most big cities when the cops back off, the crooks take over. Only brain dead libs can’t grasp that. And despite the spike in murders in many urban areas, the citizens of those areas still continue to blame the police for their problems. Insanity reigns.
Seems Trey Gowdy was right - James B. Comey's an honorable man...
