On Monday Obama plans to announce an executive order to ‘increase oversight’ on the rapid militarization of local police, which is in response to public outcry over the ‘war police’ seen in the Ferguson riots.
This EO does nothing to actually reduce this rapid militarization. It simply provides more ‘regulation’ – and if we are to take history into account regarding governmental regulations we can expect that this executive order will do nothing but provide a framework to increase militarization.

Isn’t there anybody in DC with any guts anymore? They talk and talk about Obama’s lawlessness and so nothing about it. Cowards!
and when the body cams show the officer was in the right, and the feds want it to show another way…..who or what prevents them from altering or destroying that footage to appear what they want it to…
I knew it wasn’t going to be just cameras, that’s just the money mechanisim to get the ball rolling, thing is the problem is not the police!!
He will be a Dictator because we have NO REPUBLICANS willing to fight !!!!!!!!!!!
screw him, yes, a would be Hitler.
He cannot legally do this and no previous president of either party has ever attempted something like this. He is violating the 10th amendment.The guy is out of control.
We do not need government over our local police this is taken care of by counties
I am sick of executive orders.
Not good
The STATES need to buck at this one. NO way the Federal Gov’t has rights over State Police. Period, Not up for debate.
