Birmingham, AL has been chosen as one of 6 states the feds will use to pilot the nationalization of local and state law enforcement agencies. Touted as initiative to ‘build community trust’ between citizens and local police, this takeover follows the age-old Marxist pattern of cloaking despotism within a faux security blanket.
The other pilot cities include Ft. Worth, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Stockton, Birmingham and Gary, Indiana.
Attorney General Eric Holder made the announcement today. The $4.7 million National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice was announced in April and is a partnership between federal officials and criminal justice experts focused on providing training, policy and research to address distrust between citizens and law enforcement.
The other pilot cities are: Ft. Worth, Gary, Indiana, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh and Stockton. The initiative comes after several high profile fatal police-involved shootings.
“We are truly honored that DOJ would select Birmingham as one of six national pilot sites,” said Birmingham police Chief A.C. Roper. “The mayor and I actually started discussing this initiative several months ago and knew there would be over 100 cities vying for the limited opportunities.”
“We’re all aware of the modern day issues and national discussion on policing in America. Although we’ve worked extremely hard building bridges in our communities we saw this initiative as an opportunity to strengthen relationships, increase public cooperation, and improve the perception of police legitimacy across our city,” Roper said. “We truly recognize that the Birmingham Police Department cannot be successful without community support and community trust. This three year project will allow us to serve as a national police model and increase our capacity to serve our citizens.”
The Department of Justice started the initiative as part of the My Brother’s Keeper program, which seeks to create opportunities for all young people throughout the country – regardless of background – to improve their lives and reach their full potential.
“We are always committed to engaging with the community to ensure that we are serving them and hearing their concerns,” Birmingham U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance said in a prepared statement. “We want to do a good job of listening, so that we can work together to make the community safe. We appreciate the opportunity to be one of the six pilot sites in this initiative, and the recognition from Washington that we are trying to get it right down here.”
Stupid it’s called high treason at this point that is way worse then treason he took president staus by fraud and now the hostel take over by force ,he lies and so are the minion,s of Barry soetoro id#6009620110544355 foreign exchange student has had every law degree taken back do to UN truths .

James, it is so funny that after I read only the top 5 I had made my mind up that I was going to add #21 but then when I got to number 20, you said it. It is just like lefties to blame everything on Bush when Obama has been in office for 7 years. Even things Obama created and failed its always Bushes fault. Thanks for sharing this.
We are almost there. We keep losing a little more due to Obama every time you turn around. He is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country in history.
I trust Putin a hell of a lot more than Obama.
You are exactly right Diana. Obama has had this pathway methodically in place since day one. He uses Executive Orders illegally to get what he wants. No government politicians have stood up and held him accountable. H3 is putting into place his police state just exactly as$#%&!@*did it. I just can’t believe that people still can’tsee what is happening. The are either in total denial or totally stupid.
