Okay, it is a multi part plan.
First step was to alter police culture into an “us vs them” mentality.
Next was to militarize them.
Concurrently was this push to idolize and worship criminals.
Revolving door justice etc adds frustration to police work.
Let simmer for a couple years, then sensationalize criminals getting their due.
(While similarly downplaying actual cases of misconduct, this muddies the water and prevents any actual reformation from happening.)

Now, push for federal takeover of the police.
Guess where we are at?
You guessed it, the push to have a federal police force over every town.
As if that would be any better.

But I get told often “we don’t live in Mayberry, and this isn’t the 50’s”, my response to that is “Why not?”
It wasn’t all that long ago that one could talk to the local police as if they were human, and they didn’t try to make up charges “just because”.
[Yes, for some of you out there, that does happen. Look up “Wallkill NY PD watchdog” to see what happens when a PD becomes a danger to the community..in NY. Also, Sussex NJ PD got shut down due to widespread corruption. Involving evidence in the evidence locker.]

Because 0 wants a national police force. In order to get there, he and the media have to paint local forces as evil and racist.

It also increases the potential, in the worst of circumstances, of despotic or oppressive actions.


Federalizing all law enforcement isn’t an end goal.
It’s a stepping stone to their real agenda.
For the current crop of racists in the gov’t,
that goal includes “getting back at YT”.
They know, though, that there won’t be passive acceptance of this oppression,
so the fedpolice are going to be there to make sure
we don’t defend ourselves.

We have about 50% too many police. We’d be better off putting the savings to paying down debt. Americans need to be encouraged to take care of themselves and not depend on a police force that will rarely ever be there when needed, except to collect evidence after the fact.

Spoken like a true government centralizer.

The number of police that are on my local police is a matter that is between my local police and the local citizens of my locality.

Hands off Obama and you.

Ah... the true “legacy of slavery” is the ability of tyrants to use the specter of “racism” to implement everything they want to do to us.

Pretty hard to get to know your local police and deputies when they are either in a patrol car/truck with very dark tinted windows or in the station house/sub-station. I have spoke to a few at gas stations over the years. I quit doing that after I addressed one as Deputy L....... and was immediately corrected. “That is Sargeant L.......”. since I am an old guy, I can remember actually cops stopping and talking to you. Out mowing the yard, it was not unusual for a patrol car to stop, cop get out and just chat. He was not only becoming a known to the neighborhood, but finding out what was going on on his beat. Proactive instead of reactive. When an officers was moved to another beat or shift, it did not take more than a few days before the neighbors wanted to know, where to what happened to Officer .......
Boy, are those days long gone.

People need to get to know their local cops. I stood out in the alley the other day and chatted with the Sheriff’s deputy for 20 minutes the other day.

A lot of LE assume you're just a perp in waiting. I'm not paranoid but I do feel like I have to watch every word I say. I didn't use to feel that way.

Good post yours (#28). In the past year I've gone up to a cop twice to ask a question.

First time: Cop A answered my question. Then we had a little chat.
Second time: Cop B barely acknowledged my presence. I got a curt non-answer to a very reasonable question.

Well, here's one difference between the two cops. Cop A looked to be in his early 50's. Cop B was a muscle-bound guy in his 20's.

It’s called creating a need for the “national security force’ that’s “just as well-organized, just as well-funded” as our military.

The only question is, will it be brown, black or
multi-colored shirts.

IMHO

ding ding ding ding...winner winner winner winner...

You can usually weed out the riff raff, if any, thru that kind of contact...

Find out when and where they’ll be on their shifts, say help, and be prepared for them to have to scoot off at the drop of a hat, no offense meant, to take care of something...

I make a couple of casseroles for Thanksgiving, and Christmas when I know some of them are not going to get those days off...One for the local constable office, and one for the local FD around the corner...

Not doing that to expect any special treatment of consideration...

I wonder how many in the black community (i.e.: Baltimore or Ferguson) ever do things like that for their local first responders???

I would bet on zero...

So you get what you pay for...Zero tolerance, and above normal scrutiny for hoodrats in general...

Truth sucks...

The cop was out here waiting for a couple of problem kids to get out of school just to gently nudge them to let them know that they were heading for trouble. I told him that I had a less than stellar youth myself.

He told me that on his previous shift in town he had arrested a 20 year old homeless person for child molesting so he was considering moving out this way for the safety and benefit of his young kids. I pointed out a couple of empty houses if he wanted to check them out.

We really liked our local police department but don’t have enough crime to justify paying them so we disbanded them and contracted with the county.

Exactly, it has already started with the left wanting the local law enforcements to be "trained" by the Feds... In the end, your local sheriff will not fire needlessly on you, but the O's national force will.

What’s going on is that there is a broader effort to defame and denounce local police.

Its all part of a concerted effort spanning many years.

First, it was an attack on the clergy particularly Catholic priests. Now it is more of a general program to denigrate Christians in general as "intolerant".

Second has been the attack on teachers. There is a strong bias in the media to sensationalize the miniscule percentage that are child molesters.

Third now is the assault on anyone wearing a police uniform.

Coincidence? Think back to your childhood years when you were advised to go to a Priest, a teacher or a cop whenever you needed help. Now where are you supposed to go?

To the government, of course.

Just wait until they are federalized.
