Should the police be under federal control instead of local control? If you remember correctly President Obama wanted a national civilian force as powerful as the military and recently the race parasite Al Sharpton said we should nationalize our police.

Yes
No

I say no.Control should always be local and seeing how the federal government refuses to adequately secure our borders why on earth would anyone trust the federal government to handle policing?

Not only no...but HELL no. Government has far more power than it should currently anyways.

OMG, what a wet dream for federal LE, um no, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
 
Hell no, it would another bureaucracy and cabinet position to manage.

Well that's the least of the worries but at least you said no. Seems to be some decent bi-partisan agreement here.
 
We need not both .. one should go !

Home Land should definitely go. The FBI is needed for federal crimes across state lines. I've never liked the entire "home land" thing as it is; "father Land", "mother land"... We're the US, that's all we need to be.
 
How would this change anything?
 
It wouldn't be effective in the slightest. They have difficulty as it is managing DHS.

Improved models of police work will be created and adopted by certain key cities or communities and it will spread from there.

There is simply no reason to argue that federal control is necessary.
 
Last time I checked there already existed quite a number of federal police forces in the US: FBI, DEA, Secret Service, TSA, etc. Having federal police forces to deal with federal crimes is logical. Just As it is logical for States to have police forces to deal with State crime and local autorities to have police forces to deal with local crime. I see no need to change this.
