A Cop’s Eye View of the Federal Takeover of the Police
American Greatness ^ | 29 Apr, 2022 | Maurice Richards

Little by little, local police forces are succumbing to leftist indoctrination, funded and advanced by federal taxpayer dollars. Here is what to look out for—and how to push back.

Local control of the police is vital to the preservation of American democracy. Police officers and sheriff’s deputies swear an oath not only to serve and protect their communities but also to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Ideally, the police should serve as guardians of public safety and as defenders against government tyranny. Leftist elites detest these safeguards of liberty. The woke oligarchs are the tyrannical faction the American founders had the foresight to protect us against by establishing a constitutional federal republic.

A central feature of any totalitarian regime—Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Communist China—is a national police force under total control of the central government. Totalitarians nationalize the police not to control crime, but to control their citizens. This is what the leftist elites envision for America and they are working hard to make it happen. The rampant lawlessness, violence, and chaos that has engulfed our cities since the summer of 2020 directly results from their scheme. They want to create dysfunctional local police departments as a pretext to nationalize all law enforcement.

Policing in every major city is in crisis—the rule of law has collapsed, people are not safe, and the war on cops is escalating.

Let’s take a look at where we are, the current policies of the Democratic Party that got us here, the historical context of the Left’s assault on the police, and what we need to do to defeat them.

I’ve seen personally how leftist ideology and training have seeped into and undermined policing. But as a former police chief myself, I’ve also learned how to build a highly effective organization based on American values

I think the left hates prosperous societies and are happy to let criminals provide the punishment that the left thinks the society deserves.

Just keep hiring more fat-assed AA police chiefs. Have them show off those general’s stars.

An independent, strong, prosperous and FREE United States is the biggest obstacle to Global Tyranny.

Around here the Sheriff is the last line of defense.
After that it is up to us.
We are ready.

This is exactly what I feared when the police defunding began. There is a method to their madness.....a federal police force.

Years ago the John Birch Society warned of this and I remember their bumper sticker “support your local police.” The reason is.... local police are neighbors and care about the community and people living there. Feds will not.

My concern is that a federal police force could end up being made of foreign people who are moving here. Those who care nothing for America or its people.

I know it sounds paranoid.....

In much of the U.S., the “local police” lost every bit of credibility and every ounce of public respect when they became stormtroopers for Branch Covidian government officials.

Which is why both parties are importing a new electorate.

It’s not paranoid at all.

The commies are real, they’re really out there, and they really do want to steal all of our property and make us slaves.

Not paranoid at all. They have cowed many of us Americans into being afraid to speak up about it in the hopes we’ll timidly allow them to get us tied up in their white paneled van.

Just as the Feds gradually took over public schools, the same tactic is being used on police forces. Give money but with their rules attached.

Yes AC, what you say is true. But I’ll take locals over a fed police force any day. At least if the locals were bad you could try moving elsewhere.

The feds would be the real storm trooping boot on the face forever deal. Nowhere to run to.

Or just generally useless. I have no idea what TPD does anymore. If you call them that you got robbed they mail you a form. They don’t respond to traffic accidents unless there’s an injury. They don’t patrol.

The guy should take a civilian’s eye view to the police. In this country they’re not on our side, and completely freaking useless.

Yep, exactly. The commies and fascists maintain huge police forces.

And when the feds take over... there won’t be no charges brought on police no matter what they do. They will clear neighborhoods, and shoot people on the streets based on race and no one will say a word.

No one in the world except maybe (big maybe here) his mother gives a shit about george floyd. And certainly not a leftist. The issue is never the issue.

The statists have done this to our police forces. These rotten libtards have to be stopped.

Man leftists are stupid idiots. But it’s ok, we’ll stop this march thorough our policing institutions by those goosestepping pedophiles.
