Obama Pushes More Federal Oversight of Cops after Dallas
Attack on Cops
President Barack Obama is
harnessing the increasing attacks on police — and the periodic shootings of
people by stressed cops — to push his agenda to federalize state and local
police forces.
“I want to start moving on constructive actions that are actually going to
make a difference,” he said during his evening press conference in Poland when
he was asked about the Dallas attack. Those actions he said, would be
based on the recommendations of the panel that he picked after the 2014 street
riots in Ferguson, Missouri. The panel offered “practical concrete
solutions that can reduce — if not eliminate — the problems of racial bias,”
Obama said.
The dramatic shootings are an opportunity to push that agenda, Obama said.
“If my voice has been true and positive, my hope would be that… [the panel]
surfaces problems, it frames them, it allows us to wrestle with these issue and
try to come up with practical solutions,” he said.
Obama began touting the panel’s recommendations in March 2015. The report, titled “President’s Task Force on 21st
Century Policing Report,” was published in May 2015.
The report urges the federal government to federalize police training and
practices, via the use of federal lawsuits, grants and threats to cut federal
aid. So far, Obama’s deputies have cajoled and sued more than 30 police
jurisdictions to adopt federal rules in a slow-motion creation of a national
police system, similar to the slow-motion creation of a federal-run
health-sector via Obamacare.
Obama also used the press conference to insulate his federalized police program
— and his allies in the Black Live Matter movement — from popular rejection
after the five police were murdered by the anti-cop African-American in Dallas.
“The danger is that we somehow think the act of a troubled person speaks to
some larger political statement across the country — it doesn’t,” Obama
insisted.
Obama shrugged off growing criticism that his own anti-cop statements
helped trigger the shootings in Dallas and several other cities on Thursday and
Friday. “It is very hard to untangle to motives of this Dallas shooter …
you have a troubled mind … what feeds it, what sets it off, I’ll leave
that to psychologists and people who study these kinds of incidents.”
Throughout his press conference, Obama tried to play the role of national
healer. “As painful as this week has been, I firmly believe that America
is not as divided as some have suggested. Americans of all races and all
backgrounds are rightly outraged by the inexcusable attacks on police … that
includes protestors, it includes family members who have grave concerns about
police conduct, and they’ve said that this is unacceptable, there is no
division there,” he said.
Comments
Obama,
Hillary and the Democrats will push for a “national police force” to replace
our local police force one way of another.
They have several initiatives for controlling local Police by training
them to give crime “a pass” and give the criminals “a break”. The Military experienced this “federal help”
with “rules of engagement” that neutered their work and turned them into targets.
They
believe their tyranny could bring armed revolution to the US and they want to
make sure they win. So they want to dismantle whoever might side with the
“revolutionaries”. That would include
the US Military and local Police. FEMA camps are ready.
