Police around the nation are joining on to President Obama’s plan.

Announced Friday, 53 police departments around the country have signed on so far to the White House-pressed Police Data Initiative, a plan by President Obama to make crime-fighting more technology-driven and accountable to higher-ups, but that is seen by critics as a not-so-subtle federal takeover of community policing.

The program, which comes by way of a recommendation from the Task Force on 21st Century Policing that Obama launched in December – which was created by the White House in response to widely reported instances of police-community clashes and alleged cop discrimination against minorities – is aimed at enhancing “data transparency and analysis” among police departments around the nation.

In White House jargon, according to a May 2015 “Launching the Police Data Initiative” press release: “Through the initiative, key stakeholders are establishing a community of practice that will allow for knowledge sharing, community-sourced problem solving and the establishment of documented best practices that can serve as examples for police departments nationwide.”

The ultimate goal?

“Increased trust and impact,” the White House reported.

The initiative in 2015 kicked off in Camden, New Jersey, a “predominantly black city” that’s “one of America’s most violent and also among its poorest,” NewsOne reported. Then, 20 other communities joined on to the program as well, which included training from federal authorities on how to gather and use data to “increase transparency, build community trust and support innovation,” the White House reported.

But it’s grown. Now, the number of participating police departments has jumped to 53.

And critics say it’s little more than a federalization of local police because it puts the White House at the helm of deciding such matters as cameras on cop uniforms and whether or not local jurisdictions accept equipment from the military.

Critics also say the data that’s being gathered at the local levels will lead to a massive federal database, overseen by federal authorities, who will then decide whether the individual police department is pursuing crime-fighting techniques in a manner that doesn’t discriminate against minorities.

As the New American put it back in March of 2015: “The plan … will use U.S. taxpayer dollars to deploy ‘experts’ and ‘researchers’ charged with training officers to act in a manner that the [Department of Justice] deems just – in essence doing the bidding of the Obama administration. Officially, the Justice Department will be helping local officials ‘fight crime’ under the scheme.”

And as the Blaze reported in August of 2015: “President Barack Obama’s administration has begun the second phase in federalizing the police.”

Attorney General Loretta Lynch underscored in October 2015 the need for the federal government to collect data from local police departments, in order to “improve the accuracy and consistency” of how cops conduct their business.

“The [DOJ’s] position and the administration’s position has consistently been that we need to have national, consistent data,” she said, in a statement on the Justice Department website. “This information is useful because it helps us see trends, it helps us promote accountability and transparency. We’re also going further in developing standards for publishing information about deaths in custody as well, because transparency and accountability are helped by this kind of national data.”

Obama Calls For Federalizing Nation’s Police Force After Dallas Shooting

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.

President Barack Obama is harnessing the increasing attacks on police in Dallas — 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 kids of incidents.”

("leave that" - 'I hate white people, especially white cops' to the psychologists." If the races had been reversed in this tragedy, there would be racism yelled repeatedly out of his mouth. Notice how muslim & black power connection is muted.

Another O program, means it will fail and it will cost the taxpayer much $$$)


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.

Obama Threatens Cops, Plans To Stand On Their Graves To Label Law Enforcement Racist

On Monday, the day before flying to Texas to demagogue at the funerals of Dallas cops slain by an anti-white racist, President Obama met with law enforcement leaders across the country. At that meeting, Obama threatened law enforcement with his usual Mafioso tactic: “nice police department you’ve got there, shame if something happened to it, good thing I’m around to protect you.” According to The Washington Post, Obama said that the attack on cops was a “hate crime” and then said, “I’m your best hope.”

Obama is a racial blackmailer: he’s an arsonist who ignites the flames, then tells the cops that only he can put out those flames.

his routine is nothing new from Obama; back in 2009, when he met with top financial CEOs and essentially ordered them to cut their own salaries, he stated, “Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that.” Then he continued, “My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”


These tactics are despicable – and they must be condemned by anyone of decent heart and mind. President Obama called police officers across the country racist on Thursday morning, hours before cops were shot in Dallas; then he claimed he had no idea why the shootings had happened; now he says that they were hate crimes, but that only he can heal the country and advocate for the cops. This is scurrilous nastiness of the highest order.

And his grandstanding won’t end there. Obama plans to stand over the caskets of the officers and rip into cops. Here’s a statement he put out this morning via his White House:

I reject the idea that these issues are somehow too big for us -- that America is too divided to find common ground. As I've said, I know that we can honor the incredible courage and service of our police officers -- and also recognize the racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system. There's no contradiction there. And if we are going to come together to solve these problems, we have to understand that. So we'll have to talk to each other. We'll have to listen to each other. And we'll have to see each other as equal parts of the American family.

So in other words, the cops are still racist, just these dead cops aren’t – and the only reason the dead cops aren’t is because they’re dead. If they had lived, and we had waited a week, and they continued to arrest a “disproportionate” number of black people -- in other words, people responsible for crime regardless of their race -- they’d still be part of the problem.

Obama isn’t interested in fixing anything. He’s interested in setting fires. And the whole nation is burning.

Presidential blather in time of tragedy

Obama’s pontificating over race has only worsened relations



By R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. - - Tuesday, July 12, 2016
ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Race is what you make of it. For me I have made race a part of what social scientists once called the “melting pot,” by which they meant that differences of ethnicity and even of race were all melted down into one great variegated country called America. There might be different heritages and different subcultures mixed into the American melting pot, but once mixed together, we were all Americans.

Of course, however, through the years that American melting pot has been increasingly difficult to maintain, because various leaders — political leaders, education leaders, social leaders and simple charlatans — were energetically manufacturing ever more sociological differences to mix into the pot. They excogitated differences of gender, of generation, of sexual orientation, and, oh yes, of lifestyle. The differences were increasingly fanciful, but the liberals — for that is what the self-appointed leaders were — overburdened the melting pot.

Eventually, the pot ceased to exist even as an intellectual construct. Now we are divided into whatever we want to be: men, women, blacks, whites, youth, old geezers and transgendered — which can mean about anything. Possibly as time goes by, some Americans will claim to be “trans-specied.” Think what chaos that will bring to public comfort stations.

The benign melting pot has been destroyed. It is now every Americano for him/her/its self, preferably with an enormous sense of self-importance. Some educated observers would call this anarchy. The melting pot has been replaced by anarchy.

When Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic presidential candidate whom some 56 percent of the American people think the FBI should have recommended for indictment, said, “I’m going to be talking to white people. I think we are the ones who have to start listening,” she merely fanned the flames of racial identity in America. Admittedly, she did it in a most egregious way. No presidential candidate had so shamelessly appealed to race since George Wallace, the Alabama bigot who led anti-black mobs decades ago. But she was only continuing along the path to racial discord staked out and encouraged by President Obama.

Think of what he has achieved during his presidency. From the days of President Ronald Reagan right up to Mr. Obama’s election, racial discord had faded as a public matter. Americans were talking of a post-racial America when they elected him to the White House as America’s first black president. He had a majority of Americans behind him. Then it began: Mr. Obama’s subtle and not-so-subtle encouragement of racial championing. Actually it was not championing of all blacks, but championing of blacks who have repeated run-ins with the police. It was championing of the black underclass.

Generally speaking, blacks from the growing middle class do not have run-ins with the law, but the black underclass has repeated encounters. The two black men who died at the hands of police last week led lives of ceaseless conflict with law enforcement personnel. Alton Sterling in Louisiana had a rap sheet with an abundance of very serious felonies, including sex offenses and burglary. Philando Castile in Minnesota had only misdemeanors but in astounding numbers. He had been pulled over by police 31 times with 41 convictions.

It is a stark presidential legacy. The pious Mr. Obama leaves office with racial discord climbing from the negligible levels of George W. Bush and his immediate predecessors to levels not seen since the 1960s. How did Mr. Obama manage this? Well, by saying things like this: “When incidents like this occur, there’s a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if because of the color of their skin, they are not being treated the same. And that hurts. And that should trouble all of us. This is not just a black issue. It’s not just a Hispanic issue. This is an American issue that we should all care about .” Blah, blah, blah. He said that after a gunman murdered and maimed something like a dozen police and civilians. These innocent people were attending a demonstration protesting the deaths in Louisiana and Minnesota.

Such pompous twaddle from Mr. Obama is typical. He is going to lead us, 315 million of us, in a gigantic transcontinental conversation on how to be good and just and fair. In the meantime, the rule of law is fraying, and ever larger numbers of people are dying. It is time for Mr. Obama to retire. Had he gone golfing after the carnage in Dallas it would have been no more damaging to law enforcement in America.
