What is the purpose of this leftist attack upon the police?
Fitzgerald charged that the Justice Department was using something called the Police Data Initiative to achieve “federalization of the local police.” The way this is to be accomplished is through “standards” for local police both created and enforced by the Justice Department.
Fitzgerald asserted that a principal goal of the Left is to nationalize the police function. Fitzgerald offered some examples of nationalized police forces, including the Cheka of the Soviet Union and the Gestapo in National Socialist Germany.
An increase in lawlessness, largely owing to the reluctance of police to confront some criminal activity in minority neighborhoods in such places as Chicago, where the murder rate has spiraled upward, is planned to lead some Americans to believe the local police are not capable of controlling violent crime, Fitzgerald predicted. A nationalized police force will then be presented as the solution, he warned.
Al Sharpton has called for an “end” to local policing, with that function taken over by a nationalized police force.
And, of course, the tragic murders of the police officers in Dallas will be yet another talking point with those who want to disarm law-abiding American citizens.
With a former “community organizer” in residence in the White House, this is not surprising.
