The Biden Threat to Law Enforcement

Biden’s plan for “strengthening America’s commitment to justice” reads like a Black Lives Matter wish list; there is no reason to think that a Biden–Harris Justice Department will not implement it. Among its most consequential proposals, it calls for a return to the practice of imposing weakly-justified consent decrees on police departments. During the Obama years, career attorneys in the Justice Department regularly opened civil rights investigations into police departments (called “pattern or practice” investigations) without credible evidence that an agency was systematically violating citizens’ constitutional rights. Those investigations almost invariably resulted in settlements (called consent decrees) that placed police departments under the control of a nonelected federal monitor and a federal judge; monitors collected millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded fees while they held police departments to draconian deadlines and mindless paper-pushing mandates for years on end.

They want their own police state.

Not one that is not loyal to them.

When I mention pets in reference to a possible Buden coup it is not because I think we will need to eat them. It is because pets give us pleasure and they cannot have anyone having pleasure in life. All spending will need to benefit their idea of the State.

Post # 1 is correct, a national police force is the socialist’s goal and they will eliminate most of the rights in the 10 Amendments, personal freedoms and private ownership of property. We will be conquered by an alien ideology imposed by those we thought to be fellow Americans.
