Hillary Clinton Says She'd Beef Up Federal Oversight Of Police
HUFFPO ^ | Nov. 6, 2015 | Ryan J. Reilly

WASHINGTON -- Expanding the federal government's abilities to investigate police departments across the country would be a key part of Hillary Clinton's approach to criminal justice reform if she were president, an aide told The Huffington Post on Friday.

Clinton's plan would include doubling funding for the Justice Department's collaborative reform program that works with police departments to implement change, expanding the Civil Rights Division unit that investigates law enforcement agencies, and adding funds for training for officers on the federal, state and local level.

Clinton supports giving subpoena power to Justice Department lawyers investigating law enforcement agencies that may be engaged in unconstitutional behavior, such as the revenue-driven practices DOJ found during its investigation of the Ferguson Police Department, according to the aide.

Yes, and any oversight would need to be of Hillary. She has proven she cannot be trusted.

What about those of us who view Federal agencies as a bigger threat than locals?
Why are feds so trustworthy and on the side of the angels?

Hillary and the RATS must be so afraid that Trump is taking away some of their black voters, which they are entitled to, of course!

Heavy Top Down Approach as Commies always do.
Eventually the only way state and local can avoid constant Federal scrutiny is to be Federalized.

The commies believe the cure for Police Brutality is to make the police even more powerful and answerable to no one.
Yea, sure, that will work.

Because the people who armed street gangs and drug cartels as an excuse to try to disarm us are so fricking trustworthy?

Yeah, right.

So who is going to do the oversize of the federal govt agencies that target citizens?
Every Republican should jump all over this! When is the MSM going to ask Hillary about the IRS targeting scandal?

She’s pretty much signalling that if she becomes Reich Chancellor, her executive orders are going to make Obama look restrained.
Notice how she assumes that all she will have to do is,
“I have spoken. Let it be writ. Let it be done.”

You shake your head? Obama is doing it now.
“Don’t tread on me!”? Series?

I wonder if a few years into her administration every law enforcement offier in the United National Socialist States of America will be required to swear a blood oath to Reich Fuehrer Hillary Clinton.
(Just before going out on the `gun roundups’.)

My experience with the federal government is pretty much confined to forking over, against my will, a big part of my income; OTOH, I deal with the great State of Indiana and my county and township every day.
In sum, if you think things are bad now—and they are—if this witch wins, the best half of this country is going to be in a world of hurt.

that’s it,
nationalize the entire police force of America because they do such good work in D.C.?
How about NO.

Yeah, I hope those prison guards where she will be are armed with non lethal weapons like tasers. In her case, I hope they have cattle prods.
