While official, "on-the-books", federal employees may not staff and/or directly run the day-to-day operations of state and local police agencies, the threat of the loss of "federal money" will cause many/most of them to allow the federal government to effectively control the who, what when, where and why of the activities in which these agencies engage and the "programs" which they foist on the citizenry.
The only way it can be stopped in its tracks would be for individual states to cease forwarding their citizens' federal tax with-holdings to the feds. If the feds don't have the taxpayers' money in the first place, they cannot extort the states in to surrendering their sovereignty by threatening to not return it to the states.
That is why "fighting state's rights" is such an important part of the plan.

My bad...I’d forgotten that angle. So what they’re pushing for is Federal oversight of local Policing agencies activities.
So...we’re screwed again. And it will have a deleterious economic effect because people will become ever more cautious and then reluctant to travel around the country.
Sad.
