this is about obama pushing something and that something he is pushing would be very FOOLISH and fail because of WHO is on EACH SIDE

Media and Courts are failing miserably at handling instances of police homicide and violence.
The DOJ is too susceptible to political currents.

There is currently no oversight at all. Just one big chaotic mess.

Most courts and most media pundits do not even understand the difference between murder and accidental shooting.
When a police officer thinks he sees a gun and shoots, only to find out it is a child with a bb gun or a man with a concealed permit... this is an accident. Not a murder.
We need a unified agency that both protects and polices our police.

Both sides are often very wrong in these situations. Most of these shootings are accidents.
Now... does race play a factor into this? The statistics would indicate an overwhelming YES.
But even if a mistake is based on race, it is still a mistake and not a murder.
This indicates that we also need oversight over the training these officers receive.

None of this can be done consistently and properly below the Federal level.

I agree there is chaos and I think that's exactly what some politicians want. I don't think encouraging and cheering chaos and violence is a step in the right direction. It's a golden opportunity to expand control. I realize that for some, nothing can be accomplished below the federal level. I think that's absolutely wrong and that's really the issue we're discussing.

At present, police departments are the responsibility of the local jurisdiction. Some politicians in Washington want to have federal control of law enforcement.

What is your opinion?

National Police Force == Police State
 
Obama is pushing so hard and fast before his term ends that he has made a HORRENDOUS ERROR that will stop liberalism much faster now with the waking up the sleeping giant
 
I'm fine with the Feds investigating police shootings, but the police should remain under local control.
 
Painter said:
Obama is spot on. We desperately need more oversight.
Click to expand...
No he isn't because the oversight we need can only come from the community to expose the reality of the cases complained about. Not exacerbate with false narratives.


Painter said:
We have guilty cops going free.

No we really don't.

For example, Philando Castile's death was an accident. You can even tell by the cop's voice alone that he is terrified.

1. iLOL
This was not an accident. The Officer deliberately shot someone who was not following orders.
The Officer's reaction to him shooting someone is irrelevant to that fact he had just cause. And the fact that he had just cause exposes your assumption as to why he reacted the way he did as nothing more than biased thinking


Painter said:
You can even tell by the cop's voice alone that he is terrified. He probably never had any business being a cop to begin with.

Wrong. This reaction is not unknown, it is actually quite common coming from someone who feels they were forced to shoot to defend their self.


Painter said:
Eric Garner's situation was different. His death was not an accident, it was murder.
Click to expand...
Holy ****!
More wrongness.
Garners death came about because he resisted and was unhealthy. Neither are the Officer's fault.

And don't bother coming with the choke hold bs. It was headlock, a proper take down maneuver and was released prior to Garner saying he couldn't breath.
And to make the point even more clear, saying you can't breath is a sign that you can breath.


Painter said:
The officer applying the relentless and unlawful choke hold who was ignoring Eric's pleas for help,

This just shows you have no clue as to what you speak.
It was not a choke-hold, it was a headlock.
It also was not relentless. It was a matter of seconds and the hold was released prior to Garner saying he couldn't breath.

What he did die of was heart failure.

A nationalized police force would be abhorrent.
Right now, in my little town, if I have a problem with the local police, I can go down and speak with the mayor.
With a national police force, well who knows what you can do.

Or what they <federal police> can do.
 
This poll showing everyone with saying NO to a federal police force.... is showing that conservative states seceding is coming and will be easy... so start putting money to bet on this very low chance at this time in the stock market to gain a ton of money when it begins
 
no vote , caused by a conservative effort to be controlling ..
Thus .. ''other'' .
This is probably the future .. but a too large police force can be scary .
What we do need is far more cooperation between the states ..
 
Painter said:
I was about to make another post to say essentially the exact same thing you posted.

The way the Right Wingers are reading this is similar to the way they hear Obama wanting to have background checks and restrict heavy weapons of war, and then they believe that "Obama is coming for their guns".

What "heavy weapons of war" are you talking about, and who is claiming to have a right to them whose evil designs the Commie-in-Chief is so heroically thwarting?
