The U.S. Gov has said they want to put all the police under Federal control.

Quote:the just-released police plan would force local law enforcement agencies to follow federally set standards in return for receiving federal tax dollars.

There's a lot to be concerned about in this proposal but it is not putting "all the police under Federal control" or creating a "Federal police force".

Aside from absurd comparision unifying the police force was not first of Hitler act when he became Chancellor, for it happened in 1936. To be precise - on 17 June 1936, Hitler decreed the unification of all police forces in the Reich and named Himmler as Chief of German Police.

"The end is nigh" -- comes in many variations.

This one isn't even really new....

I was hearing this from the Michigan Militia "Tin Foil Brigade" almost 20 years ago.

....

That and "They're going to round up Christians first!!!"....

Really ? Reference please.
And yes, isn't it just amazing what a Christian nation did to itself, and allowed it's leaders to do.

From that web site.

Quote:Earlier today, President Obama met with the Task Force on 21st Century Policing to discuss their recommendations to help communities and law enforcement agencies across the country to strengthen trust and collaboration, while continuing to reduce crime.

Takes a tin foil hat to make that into a nationalized police force.

Frankly, if the cops want to strengthen "trust" with communities they should stop shooting anyone who doesn't kiss their asses.

I always wondered how this was supposed to play out in their heads. How, exactly, do they think the government is going to round up 80+% of it's citizens?
