As announced last Friday, fifty-three police departments across the nation have signed onto a plan by the Obama administration to become federalized under the guise of “improving the relationship between citizens and police through uses of data that increase transparency, build community trust, and strengthen accountability.”
Local law enforcement represents “boots on the ground” in the community, and the administration has launched a number of initiatives that seemed designed to federalize law enforcement to move the power and control from local leadership towards Washington D.C. In a Marxist takeover, it is necessary to centralize power, of course.
That, along with the extensive arming of various federal agencies with weapons of war, from EPA to Department of Education officers, is troubling, to say the least.
Washington is building a police state, with armed federal officers, agencies and organizations permeating society and reporting back to the White House under the pretense of helping communities and citizens.
A new initiative has been launched, called the Police Data Initiative, which stems from the 2014 Task Force on 21st Century Policing. It will require local police to provide data and information to Washington, covering more than 41 million people.

I guess that is to subsidize the troops he is planning on gettig from the UN
Zeke is that a case where the state enforcement people can arrest federal police, etc?
More Government grabbing at the people!! This is Progressivism at its best. God help us.
Here’s the way it works.
A federal officer can only enforce Federal offenses.
State officers can enforce both State and Federal offenses.
County officers enforce Federal, State and County offenses.
Municipal officers enforce Federal, State, Municipal (and sometimes county) offenses.
Why would this ever be necessary?
LOCALS……WTF ???????? GOT TO BE A MONEY FOR HIRE DEAL…….YOU WILL BE SORRY YOU OPTED IN FOR THIS CHARADE….
So for example, there is no one more “powerful” in s county than the elected sheriff.
Just as in a municipality, there is no one (including the Sheriff) more “powerful” than an ELECTED Marshal.
A Chief is appointed and therefore has nowhere near the authority per the State Constitution.
If a Federal officer commits an offense, it is simply a matter of where the action took place.
That goes for all levels of law enforcement.
It’s$#%&!@*all over again
It is only the United States Constitution that supersedes all other laws and ordinances.
Not simply a federal law, judgement or official.
