Going just as planned. This is a first step in federalizing the police.
It does raise that question, doesn’t it?
Same crap went on in Florida when the press whipped up a frezny around Travon Martin’s failed attempt at winning a beat down.
I hope they at least pick people that used to be Baltimore PD, otherwise they will be useless.
We are funding our own destruction.
This is simply not legal.
Federal agencies investigate violations of federal law.
There may be some presumption of the needs for federal involvement, such as the rule that 24 hours after a kidnapping, there is an assumption the kidnappers have crossed state lines so the FBI can get involved.
(BTW, that is totally just an excuse. Hoover wanted the FBI to make a name for itself in the kidnapping cases of the 1930s, so they came up with this justification so FBI could help small town PDs when faced with a kidnapping case.)
Also, except in rare cases, individual Fed agencies are expected to stay within their FEDERAL jurisdictions. ICE for customs and immigration, treasure for counterfeiting, credit card fraud, etc. FBI for all their stuff, etc.
But there is NO federal involvement in Saturday night Baltimore ghetto shootings. Likewise, Feds will be useless. These types of cases are solved by “squeezing the snitch”
All BS

You’ve got it. That’s why Obama’s been stirring up trouble amongst his children. And behind the scenes the GOP is cheering him on.
FLEA’s don’t bleed ....LEO’s do.... it’ll be ok....:o)
I think your are on to something.
