Another brick in the wall

| No Comments

One of the items on Barry's agenda (and Hillary's as well) is the Federal takeover of local police functions. This is why a lot of ex-military stuff has found its way into the hands of local police departments and why more and more commands are being issued by the Federal government on how matters should be handled.

And today, things just got ratcheted up a notch - from The Washington Post:

Baltimore officials, Justice Department promise sweeping overhaul of city police
Baltimore’s top law enforcement and political leaders on Wednesday vowed a sweeping overhaul of the city Police Department after a searing rebuke of the agency’s practices, which the Justice Department said regularly discriminated against black residents in poor communities.

Officials promised improved community relations, a purge of race-based policing and a modernized department that better trains officers and holds them accountable. But they warned that reforming an agency entrenched in a culture of unconstitutional policing would be a slow process and could cost millions of dollars.

A bit more:

The Justice Department explicitly condemned many long-standing discriminatory enforcement practices by Baltimore police that allowed for illegal searches, arrests and stops of African Americans for minor offenses. But the highly critical report is also an indictment of “zero tolerance” and “broken windows” policing, which seek to quell crime by targeting minor offenses. Once heralded as groundbreaking crime-fighting strategies, they are now the subject of intense scrutiny amid the national debate over racially biased law enforcement.

The problem here is that the majority of the criminals, both major and minor, in Baltimore are black. The numbers do not lie. The Democrat's continuing policy of breaking up the black families, zero quality-control of the school system and of egregious handouts for doing nothing has created a feral class of youth who have no moral compass, no father figure, no education and no job prospects. We can go back to Lyndon Johnson's Great Society as the start of this policy where Lyndon was quoted as saying that "This will have those niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years."

From here. After the initial outset of the program, we have had zero progress on the "problem" despite a substantial increase in spending. All we are doing is creating and feeding larger and larger bureaucracies and agencies whose mission is to keep in place the poverty business.
