Obama Unveils Plan to Further Nationalize Local Police
The New American ^ | March 06, 2015 | Alex Newman

Posted on 03/06/2015 3:32:39 PM PST by detective

The Obama administration and its “Task Force on 21st Century Policing” are under fire after unveiling an unconstitutional plot to impose federal “standards” on state and local police forces, which critics say is in effect an underhanded plan to further nationalize and federalize law enforcement. Widely lambasted as “Common Core” for police, the Obama plan outlines dozens of controversial “recommendations” to be foisted on state and local law-enforcement agencies using federal tax dollars as bribes — the same unconstitutional process used to impose the hugely unpopular national “Common Core” standards on states and schools nationwide. Opponents say it is part of a dangerous long-term plan that must be opposed.

The controversial Obama administration demands for national standards for police come a few months after United Nations boss Ban Ki Moon called for American police to obey “international standards.” The efforts to further nationalize and federalize law enforcement — a state and local responsibility under America’s constitutional system — are also in line with Obama’s campaign rhetoric about building a “civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the U.S. military. Of course, as Congress revealed in an official report, the Communist effort to nationalize American police forces goes back decades.

From the report.

1.4.2 ACTION ITEM: Law enforcement agency leadership should examine opportunities to incorporate procedural justice into the internal discipline process, placing additional importance on values adherence rather than adherence to rules. Union leadership should be partners in this process.

So this is what happens.

I've been warning about this for months.

Yet there have been tons of anti police propaganda articles posted here at FR.

Sure there have a few good articles here and there that document real police problems.

Tools.

Bye bye county Sheriffs

The name Sheriff goes back to the 1215 Magna Carta....

First Sheriff in America took office in Virgina in 1634.

The Republic weeps.

..."recommendations” to be foisted on state and local law-enforcement agencies using federal tax dollars as bribes ...

Granted some police departments are messed up. With this federalization scheme, however, there would be absolutely no hope of local accountability, and things will be much worse well beyond more “shoot the dog” incidents. There would be more motorists shot while complying with the command “your papers”, more no-knock raids over silly issues.
“Don’t you know who I am? I’m now a Federal Cop! I am the law, therefore I am above the law!” The second someone says that there is no longer law. There is tyranny.

More from the report;

1.9.1 ACTION ITEM: Decouple federal immigration enforcement from routine local policing for civil enforcement and nonserious crime.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security should terminate the use of the state and local criminal justice system, including through detention, notification and transfer requests, to enforce civil immigration laws against civil and nonserious criminal offenders.25

In 2011, the Major Cities Chiefs Association recommended nine points to Congress and the President on this issue, noting that “immigration is a federal policy issue between the United States government and other countries, not local or state entities and other countries. Any immigration enforcement laws or practices should be nationally based, consistent, and federally funded.”

The big problem with lawless Obama’s edict to control local police is this. The local police have probably never been taught that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to control local police.

"You can’t stop him,

And that's EXACTLY why his UN NWO cabal handlers selected him for the job. They knew he'd get away with everything.

Have you or anyone here actually read this ?

If the proposals of this “Task Force” are adopted in full, they would completely change the role of the local Police force.

It’s insane.

I’m just getting to the section “Pillar Five: Training and Education.
