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.”

Read this c**p and you’ll se tearrany is upon us and it’s blowing forward with the speed of a sonic jet so you’d better get ready or have some “Balls” and stand up and fight these evils bastards now
about time, get those rednecks pushing brooms, what they were made for! Let them wear badges though, it will mollify them some!
Germany tried something similar from 1930 to 1945. It was called the Gestapo,how did that work out?
feds need to stay out of states law enforcement !!
Its very clear in this video that Holder has skirted with all of his effort to clarify that My Brother´s Keeper programme is completely ethnocentric – aimed towards black Americans. If you visit the WH page, they describe this more fully and indeed, its only for the black folks.

As a retired Chief of Police myself I cannot believe this Chief made such comments. I have to question the reliability of the news agency that published this article because in today’s world, National Enquirer shoddy reporting is prevalent. If this article is true then my answer to the Chief and others is: you have no idea what you are doing and are nothing more than ignorant fools and idiots. If you want to know how to really manage a Law Enforcement organization with community relationships and partnerships, call me and I’ll show you how a real professional does the job.
The “federal government ” has no place in local law..it’s all propaganda ..teasing with the promise of additional money . Face the facts ..we as a nation have an incredible debt already ..the funds are not there! Look at any government subsidized program ..ie..Medicare (not adequate money ) Medicaid (not adequate money ) the va clinic for veterans(not adequate) and don’t forget the bailouts offered to the fat cats of Washington, D.C. A few years back totaling billions ..we had no gold to back that money and are now in huge debt to China ..our only resource to offer for collateral is land here in the U.S. ..we gave a deep water port in California to China ! Land that we have no control over anymore. I don’t remember voting for the bailout I surely didn’t vote to sell part of California to China ..wake up people ..”the government “was once you and I ..not a separate entity ..pay attention to how your congressman vote on issues ..let your disgust with their vote reflect in the polls
