ICYMI federal control of local police

[RaceBannon]

The federalization of local law enforcement

These conclusions suggest that federal dollars for local policing have more to do with control via “accountability” than crime reduction. The new Administration included one billion dollars in the stimulus package to hire 7,000 new officers in 2009 and 2010. In April 2009, the House pledged an additional $1.8 billion over the next five years to provide 50,000 federally paid local officers. In June 2010, the President warned federal lawmakers that without further stimulus funds, police layoffs would be inevitable. In other words, over time the federal government will be paying the cost of tens of thousands of police officers nationwide. These numbers reflect a growing dependency on federal dollars for local law enforcement needs, something that then Senator Biden wanted to make permanent.

Obama’s DOJ Has Seized Control Of Local Police, And No One Noticed - Off The Grid News

President Obama’s Justice Department has effectively taken control of police departments across the country by using a sneaky legal trick endorsed by the United Nations.
Incredibly, it has been completed through simple lawsuits.
Placing local enforcement under federal control is much easier than you might think. The Obama administration has done it 26 times using a legal mechanism known as a consent decree, The Washington Post and Lifezette.com reported.
Here is how the process works:
The Justice Department’s civil rights division files a federal lawsuit against a local government, alleging civil or constitutional rights violations. A federal law, the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (42 U.S.C. § 14141), gives the DOJ the power to do this, noted Robert Romano of Americans for Limited Government.
To settle the suit, the local government enters into a special court order, called a consent decree, which puts the DOJ in charge of major aspects of local law enforcement.

The Obama Justice Department Had a Plan to Hold Police Accountable for Abuses. The Trump DOJ Has Undermined It.
lol the lefties were irate that Trump stopped Obama's control over local police
Spare me the tears ladies - none of you all of a sudden small government types said shit

Those of us who always thought this small government stuff was bullshit are not now "small government types".
Nice try, old timer.

I'm too cheap to be willing to send you girls to camp

 

[RaceBannon]

Your idea of small government extends to open borders and letting criminals out of jail. No further
You want more government everywhere else

 

[HHusky]

I'm not one of you morons who claims to want small government . . . and no reduction to your entitlements.
The small government mantra has always been unmitigated bullshit.

Thank you for admitting that your only answer is more government.

No shit Sally. That's why you sound so retarded

My answer to wanting more shit done by the government is more government. You girls aren't willing to do what would be required in order to reduce the size of government, nor are most Americans. I choose not to delude myself with this "small government" fantasy you occasionally promote. It's always been bullshit, and the irony of it being chiefly the slogan of the original party of big government in this country, the GOP, is just icing on the cake.

You seem to confuse me with someone that has a problem with entitlements reform.
It's your generation and voting that make that a political non starter Delores.
You know, the people who want more government.

It doesn't matter whose generation it is, Mildred. It ain't happenin' regardless.

I agree it's not happening on entitlements reform. However, that's because of boomers like you. Weird thing to place at the feet of everyone else.
In the meantime I'm fine with slash and burn through a bunch of other things like USAID. It may not solve the budget problem but it does contribute.
I realize you consider Trans art spaces in Pakistan vital government services though.

I want smaller government with reduction to your entitlements and those going to people that aren't meant to receive them. Let me know when a majority of my taxes actually go to things that benefit me

You can cash me out of social security anytime. The reform requires no longer enslaving new workers to a ponzi scheme
And the meltdown over DOGE really showed how H thinks
His only answer to cutting government is to steal money people paid in

Isn't even a youngster like yourself a little too old to be taken in by DOGE theatrics? I mean, we know some of your colleagues here are in steep decline (Gasbag, Sludge, Race, etc.), but the mindless slashing that has to be undone after the fact is all for show and isn't a serious effort at reducing the size of government, even assuming that was a realistic goal.
I don't speak for Boomers; I speak for myself. The ShedCons of eDuck years loved this small government talk too. We've been having these discussions for more than 25 years. All along, I kept saying it isn't going to happen. I've been right about this phoney-baloney small government movement for decades now. And I'm still right. Honestly, I'm tired of all the winning.

 

[RaceBannon]

We know. You love big government and big spending
So back to the original point of the post
When did your opposition to Federal control of the police start?

I'm actually pleasantly surprised it wasn't just all theatrics. I'm used to your generation and politics being "give me until after the election and I'll have more flexibility".
I think Elon was disappointed when the political reality hit but I hope things keep being pushed along.
The absolute screeching and terrorism from the left was the biggest tell that it was meaningful. How's the dem war chest for the next election currently?

I also appreciate you admitting it's "your side winning" that has caused the budget mess.
Imagine big government costing more than it returns.

I was referring to me alone, being right again. As always.
It has never mattered at any time who was in power. Government doesn't shrink. And the notion that the government is shrinking while the deficit explodes is laughable.
