“...federalized police force something fierce.”

I do not see how that would even be possible, even if congress provides a law as cover, the constitution would prevent it and I can not see any state going along with it.

The FBI is the closest we will ever get to a Federal Police force, and even they need a reason to get involved (which is why they always assume kidnappers are going to cross a state line, or that banks are insured by the federal government).

Police departments might be inefficient at times, but that is the way Americans want it. We all seen what happens when states (and the federal government) took over schools, it would be just as bad if not worse if all police departments were controlled by a central authority.

The Constitution? Soros & Co. don’t need no steenkin’ Constitution!

the constitution would prevent it

Is that the same Constitution which requires that the President be a Natural Born Citizen?

Both parties have ignored that part.
The GOP with Chester Arthur.
The CommiecRATs with Barry.

Both parties ignore the Constitution when it conflicts with their agendas.

I agree with you in the main, but I am not sure what the role of DHS Agents is supposed to be, after all, DHS has under its umbrella most all of the federal law enforcement agencies but yet, DHS “proper” is a new law enforcement agency in-and-of-itself.

I can't figure out why they ‘need’ such officers.

So, what was their reason for going to Ferguson, Missouri ?

I’m not sure how it would be implemented. Otoh, you have the YouTube speech where he states he wants an armed force of citizens on par with the military, so I’m not just tossing out theories. I cant post the link easily on this device but you can search on YouTube and find it easily, heck you probably have seen it 10 times already.
