Have we discussed this?! Obamalaw!

Post by Reverenddel »

Um...

President Barack Obama today introduced his plan for a progressive takeover of state and local policing.

“We have a great opportunity… to really transform how we think about community law enforcement relations,” he said Monday.

“We need to seize that opportunity… this is something that I’m going to stay very focused on in the months to come,” Obama said, as he touted a new interim report from his Task Force on 21st Century Policing.

Obama also instructed his media allies to help federalize policing, and to sideline the critics of centralized policing rules. “I expect our friends in the media to really focus on what’s in this report and pay attention to it,” he instructed.

Obama is using the crisis sparked by the August 2014 shooting of Michael Brown, who was killed after assaulting a shopkeeper and a policeman in Ferguson, Mo. Obama and his deputies stoked the subsequent controversy in the run-up to the 2014 election, in the hope of boosting African-American turnout. The mobilization effort failed, partly because local law-enforcement officials released a video showing Brown’s strong-arm robbery of a store shortly before the fatal shooting.

Yep. The threat of withholding of federal funding as a means of forcing federal policy should be a hanging offense.

There are 5 State Delegates and two state Senators that I maintain a close relationship with and that are sort of "my" representatives for purposes of a trade association I'm a member of. (They're much more likely to listen to you if they already know you when you walk into their office to lobby them on something) I just sent an e-mail to them all. It included a link to the "Obamalaw" article and the following statement:

"We need some state statutes to put a strict limit on what federal conditions attached to federal law enforcement grants may be complied with and which will not be tolerated by the Commonwealth."

Suggest you all consider doing the same or something very similar.

Gun-crazy? Me? I'd say the gun-crazy ones are the ones that don’t HAVE one.

Yep! Agreed...

I have written off my two "senators" (especially Lil' Timmy Boi Kaine who skipped Bibi's speech, effin' hate that guy).

But statewide? yeah. This is something we need to address right now.
