“Federal Takeover” seems to be the response to everything - education, police, land management, agriculture, mortgages, student loans....
The talk of “militarized police” smelled from the moment I heard it.
Federal takeover of local police makes more sense but about ten years ago I watched events in Venezuela after Chavez survived a coup attempt and faced street protests.
Local police in municipalities that supported the opposition to Chavez had all their tactical weapons and shotguns seized by the national police.
The locals were allowed to keep pistols to deal with drug gangs.
Any local police department that agrees to this is no longer in the service of the public. They have signed on to the Gestapo and should be treated as such.
If people can't see what's happening here, they are being willfully blind. This is fascism being born.
I’ll bet the cops will get cool new uniforms, double lightning bolts, and all!
The Feds have been supplying the Hardware at a fairly decent clip......preparing....of course...for federal takeovers..
This has been the plan all along. Local police get lots of money and equipment from the feds. Like the old saying goes, “If someone gives you money, they’re going to tell you how to spend it.”
Welcome to the United States of Venezuela.
Obama’s Civilian Security Force.
This is truly scary. If the feds try this, they are declaring actual war on the Constitution, and courting armed rebellion.
Almost like a..... Socialist Government ?
And death head skulls.
Well written, easily understandable article.
Thanks for posting it.
It is also a way of removing law enforcement that has to deal with its neighbors from any unpleasant task.
A sheriff who seizes guns against the Second Amendment has to face the neighbors at church, PTA, the grocery store. How many guys won’t go Gestapo because their wife would get spit on at the grocery store or he knows his pets will get shot, father’s family business will dry up and no one will cut his lawn or take care of Mom?
A nationalized force can send in enforcers from anywhere and everywhere, removing the social controls from their behavior.
The Cheka, Der Gemeihn StadtPolezei, Der Stazi, The Department of Homeland Security...”a rose” as they say.
if they try to do this, this will complete phase ii to phase iii of the Freedom from War: State dept pub 7277 plan.
please read it, it’s online.
the only thing they haven’t gotten rid of are sheriffs. don’t ever let them disband your sheriff dept. they are the top lawmen in each county, police don’t have the full range and power of the sheriff. sheriffs can kick the feds out of their counties. police cannot.
don’t ever let them’get rid’of your sheriffs.
federal takeovers of local police?
huh?
State takeover I can see, but federal??
The strange thing about the “militarization” meme is that the Ferguson affair didn’t involve that at all: it was a routine stop by a regularly armed officer in a regular squad car.
Later, when the howling mobs encouraged by Sharpton and Obama and drawn from all over the country came out, the crowd control squads had heavier protection (some armored vehicles) but that’s pretty reasonable under the circumstances and it’s not as if they were spraying machine gun fire over the crowd, tempting though it may have been. Claiming that these vehicles “provoked” the crowd is utterly ridiculous, since they weren’t even there until things got bad and in fact the police didn’t even use them to try to stop the looting and rampaging.
Finally, I saw that the press was so desperate to carry on the lie that they were taking pictures of the National Guard vehicles and screaming “militarization”...er, guys...
This is definitely a dangerous thing. Having the central authority take over the local police is something that is done in every banana republic in the world as the dictator is consolidating his power.
Odumbo would love nothing more than to have total control of all police departments. He will then have achieved his ultimate goal of TOTAL CONTROL of the entire population, EXCEPT those of us who WILL RESIST. Things are really getting out of hand and I am certain the police are NOT interested in working for that bastard.
“Never let a crisis go to waste.”
This is the crisis that Obama’s henchmen have been waiting for. A reason to directly control ALL law enforcement in America.
First, the arm our local police with surplus military vehicles and weapons. Then they simply wait until the right “crisis” comes along to generate the need for total direct control from Washington to “protect the citizens.” Actually, it is to “control” the citizens.
This was the “perfect storm” they have been waiting for and now the gullible of our society are finally conditioned to the point that this is entirely possible.
Within the next two years we will know for sure, what direction our country will take. Freedom or slavery.
