Trump should force Consent Decrees ala Obama on the nation’s police to ENSURE the use of crowd control devices.
That is a GREAT idea! Turn those tools and devices AGAINST them!
How the Obama Justice Department used “consent decrees” as club to nationalize law enforcementSo why can't the Trump administration "find a way to nationalize state or local law enforcement" like Obama did? Let's get our own "court-ordered federal monitors" into these war-torn cities!
How the Obama Justice Department used “consent decrees” as club to nationalize law enforcement
By Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D.
April 11, 2017The 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, authored by then Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, gave the Obama administration (under Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch) a club with which to “police the police.”
That club – in the form of “consent decrees” – was wielded to intimidate state and local government law enforcement authorities to buckle under various charges of civil rights violations.
A consent decree is an agreement or settlement that resolves a dispute between two parties without admission of guilt (in a criminal case) or liability (in a civil case).
Through court-ordered consent decrees, the Obama administration Justice Department (DOJ) has forced dozens of state and local law enforcement officials to plead guilty rather than fight a Justice Department investigation and civil or criminal complaint as well as accept to run their departments under direction of a court-ordered federal monitor.
In effect, the Obama administration found a way to nationalize any state or local law enforcement department or agency that insisted on strict enforcement of immigration laws, or exerted diligence in policing crime-ridden minority inner cities to protect law-abiding citizens against the ravages of criminal, drug-dealing gangs.
