Maybe in the black welfare districts. That's where all the crime and riots are coming from. Leave the rest of the country alone.

The USC is silent on the issue of secession or forced disunion of a state(s).

Obama did talk during his first presidential campaign about having some kind of new Federal citizen’s army or some such thing, to be used domestically. Anyone remember that?

Yes he did. Said this “national army” should be as strong as the Army, etc.

BS.

Given the amount of federal tax dollars which contribute to the budgets of those agencies each year, the answer is, effectively, yes.

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.

Yea, sure, the fix for police brutality is to federalize the police force and make them even more powerful.
What the heck is he smoking?

And would this extend to the State Police/Troopers?
And would it extend to local Sheriff’s Departments?
And would it extend to all the Constabularies?

Once it gets started, all of the above eventually.

Yeah. That post was just off the cuff. The rest of the country is doing just fine.
Everyone knows what the problem is. The welfare state is the problem. Rather than admit it, Sharpton is trying to drag the whole country down into the EBT criminal vortex.

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is not an easy person to take seriously, but her decision to give space to those “who wished to destroy” has at least made her interesting.

Her office says she was misunderstood regarding her alarming “space to destroy” remark. However, it has been revealed that she did order police to stand down so that the rioters could destroy her city:

Despite a firm denial by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a senior law enforcement source charges that she gave an order for police to stand down as riots broke out Monday night, raising more questions about whether some of the violence and looting could have been prevented.

The source, who is involved in the enforcement efforts, confirmed to Fox News there was a direct order from the mayor to her police chief Monday night, effectively tying the hands of officers as they were pelted with rocks and bottles.

Asked directly if the mayor was the one who gave that order, the source said: “You are God damn right it was.”

To quote Ms. Rawlings-Blake: “Let them loot, it’s only property.”

She meant, “it’s only other people’s property” — and if she had any respect for that, she wouldn’t be a Democrat.

Stephanie appears to be taking orders directly from Obama’s top advisor (some would say supervisor). Valerie Jarrett has been in “regular contact” with her according to a White House spokesman.

Not just anybody gets orders directly from Obama’s babysitter. Rawlings-Blake has a leadership position in the DNC. From 2013:

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will become the secretary of the Democratic National Committee on Tuesday, giving her a prominent role in national politics.

The appointment, which has not been formally announced, will give Rawlings-Blake a voice in the party’s national political apparatus…

This might explain why a mayor is implementing national policy regarding encouraging blacks to riot, as the Obama Administration did more directly in the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown spectacles.

Stephanie was one of three members of the Panel of Mayors involved in “The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing (PDF),” a project intended to work toward the authoritarian objective of nationalizing local police. This is a prerequisite for transitioning from a soft to a hard tyranny, and goes a long way toward explaining the contrived and massively hyped crisis of “racist” police allegedly oppressing black criminals.

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.

He’s ahead of the game and is exposing the the DOJ/Obama plan before they are ready.

The media is playing its part of the game - playing up and magnifying every instance of local police misconduct, no matter where in the country.

I can't imagine there is any more bad cops today than there were 20 years ago, but the stories are coming out of the woodwork.

No, because there is an Obama puppet as AG.
