First President Barack Obama came for your vote. Then he came for your money. Then he came for your guns. Now he wants your police department.
Last week, the Obama administration announced that it was ostensibly federalizing 53 police departments under its Task Force on 21st Century Policing initiative. In an April 21 press release, officials detailed just what the administration had in store for these 53 departments.
“Today the administration is announcing that 53 jurisdictions, covering more than 41 million people, have now committed to the Police Data Initiative, with over 90 data sets released to date,” the release read. “These commitments represent concrete steps toward building trust and speak to a larger shift in the culture of policing that is at the core of the Task Force’s recommendations.”
Right. Just like Ferguson.
Here’s the list of locales dumb enough to think this would be a good idea:
Albuquerque, NM
Atlanta, GA
Austin, TX
Baltimore PD
Bedford, VA
Bloomington, IN
Burlington, VT
Camden County, NJ
Charlotte-Mecklenburg, NC
Chattanooga, TN
Chula Vista, CA
Cincinnati, OH
Columbia, SC
Cuyahoga County, OH
Dallas, TX
Danville, VA
Denver, CO
Detroit, MI
Fayetteville, NC
Ft Lauderdale, FL
Hampton, VA
Hartford, CT
Indianapolis, IN
Knoxville, TN
Los Angeles County, CA
Los Angeles, CA
Louisville, KY
Menlo Park, CA
Montgomery County, MD
New Orleans, LA
New York, NY
Newark, NJ
Newport News, VA
Oak Creek, WI
Oakland, CA
Orlando, FL
Philadelphia, PA
Providence, RI
Rancho Cucamonga
Richmond, CA
Rutland, VT
Salt Lake City, UT
San Antonio, TX
San Diego, CA
San Francisco, CA
San Jose, CA
Santa Rosa, CA
Seattle, WA
Spokane, WA
St. Louis, MO
Tacoma, WA
Tucson, AZ
Vallejo, CA
Some of these departments represent the biggest cities in the United States, which are now subject to the whims of the Obama administration and their activist Justice Department. Nice work. See if that works out just as well as it did in Ferguson.
This is the Obama administration’s agenda. They want to federalize things without having to go through the constitutional process.
It’s time that America fought back.
