Call it Common Core for police. But the White House, in cahoots with the Department of Justice, has set in motion a plan that will expand federal control of community police forces, via standards handed from above called the “Task Force on 21st Century Policing.”
The plan was released Monday, Infowars reported. And its gist? Like Common Core, the education plan criticized by opponents as little more than a federal mandate that’s tied to funding, the just-released police plan would force local law enforcement agencies to follow federally set standards in return for receiving federal tax dollars.
“The U.S. Department of Justice, through the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS] and Office of Justice Programs, should provide technical assistance and incentive funding to jurisdictions with small police agencies that take steps towards shared services, regional training and consolidation,” one of the plan’s points stated.
The proposal also advocates for the federal collection of more data from local police.
“There is a lack of uniformity in data collection throughout law enforcement, and only patchwork methods of near real-time information sharing exist,” the plan stated, in the “national standards” section, Infowars found. “These problems are especially critical in light of the threats from terrorism and cybercrime.”
President Obama said he hoped to soon implement the plan among the nation’s 18,000 or so law enforcement jurisdictions.
“I’m going to be asking Eric Holder and the Justice Department and his successor to go through all these recommendations so that we can start implementing them,” Obama said, according to Infowars. “I know that one area that’s going to be of great interest is whether we can expand the COPS program that in the past has been very effective, continues to be effective, but is largely underfunded – to see if we can get more

(Time to hit the sack. I'm outta here for a few hours.)
When Obama is out of office, there will be huge opportunities for politicians to undo anything with Obama’s name on it.
We are going to implement operation Barney Fife.. Where as all police will be given a pistol but only one bullet they have to carry in their front pocket.. It must never be loaded into their gun unless necessary...
Yeah, because Republican just LOVE giving up federal power.
Obama is a tyrant pure and simple. He not only doesn't love America. He is an outright enemy of the United States.
Obama Shutzstaffel. What could possibly go wrong.
Seems to me the political capital in putting out the Obama fires will only increase at this point.
Austria is the only federation apart from Russia where the police has a single chain of command and is fully funded from the federal budget.
I suppose a uniform federal police could be created but at what price?
Politicians, kings, rulers and tyrants do not seek power in order to give up power.
Any sort of centralized power structure is an electromagnet for the worst sort of human being that this species has to offer.
Man must either rule himself, or he will be ruled by other men.
There is no in between.
I guess when that happens the official uniform will of course require brown shirts and jackboots!
Geez! Another day and already another power grab by this heinous Marxist.
We are marching closer to revolution with every passing day thanks to this POS.
What can be done and who can do it? Obviously the GOPe is in cahoots with him so no help there. The military is all but neutered. We know the establishment pols want a one world government and they know we won’t stand for it so the only option is insurrection, civil disobedience, and possibly civil war if factions take the side of this insidious Administration.
He has spent the last 7 years dividing America. Yes; I include the time he was campaigning. He has finished the job of corrupting the BATF. The Border Patrol is now impotent. The TSA does his bidding as well as pretty much the entire DHS.
I weep for my country knowing how little it has taken to bring it to this dark place.
If a dem like Dizzy Lizzy Warren wins in 2016, assuming we even have an election, that’s it. It all over with but the dying. I don’t think hillary is going to run. Too much baggage to be brought up against her in an election. Even the far left liberals don’t like her anymore. She has the women, some within the minorities, and some independents but that’s it. She would lose them when her dirty laundry is aired; if it is aired. Hard to say with this media these days; even FNC.
Well nobody can’t call you an optimist. :)
Given that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to control local police departments, the feds have no constitutional authority to tell local cops what to do imo.
The price of elected office, for countless politicians all across the country.
Politicians still fear the voters.
Has Hussein ordered the SS emblems for his little federal police force yet?
No they don't. They say what they need to get elected then rely on the voter's short memory. Once any power is consolidated in Washington, it is never given back.
When this happens, no dog will be safe.
The dog eater in chief is clearing the way for his cynophobic brethren.
The next time you pay taxes think about how much of its being used against you by Obama’s thugs and ask yourself “would I rather be audited or have a Nazi jackboot on the back of my neck with a gun I paid for (with my taxes) aimed at my head? Makes you really not want to paytaxes doesn’t it? I hope this backfires on him so bad that impeachment hearings aren’t even needed and he’s marched straight to the gallows.
[[When Obama is out of office, there will be huge opportunities for politicians to undo anything with Obama’s name on it.]]
It shouldn’t even be happening in the first place- the GOP should be suing him for EVERY breach of the constitution, of the law, and for executive overreach- He is setting a VERY BAD precedent where future tyrants will be emboldened by his illegal acts and who will do even worse- We have laws for a reason he is breaking them, but the GOP does NOTHING-
The damage he is doing is irreversible
