Birmingham 1 of 6 pilot sites in federal effort to restore police, community relation

Quote:
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."

I wonder how long before they replace city and county run police with Federally run Police?

I guess when it turns out that the local police aren't as "sensitive to the needs" of those who protect them.

I guess I don't see it due to the my level of "white privilege".

There are plenty of felonious thugs who would like nothing better than a gun and a badge.

DC already tried it.

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
