I don't know how the NAACP came into play regarding this article?
Anyway and in other words, we have here is a case of whether or not the "Republican Feds" should come into the town right away and throw their collective weight around (and get 'er done) or the Feds deciding to let the State Gov't handle what they can. Once decided that the inexperience of the local democratic government clearly couldn't handle things, the Feds stepped in.
Should they have been a bully to begin with? Yes, I suppose they should have but hindsight is indeed 20/20. Too bad, so sad. What's even sadder is now they have to save face for something that wasn't even their fault in the first place. In doing so, it's going to cost the taxpayers exponentially more to engratiate the libs.
What this is going to do is cause the Republican Congress to introduce legislation that pushes the locals aside.
If the feds are going to get ripped for not getting in earlier, then the feds are going to make sure they have the authority to get in early.
That will remove all discretion from the locals, and Homeland Security will take over from the very start.
Be careful what you wish for.
