Obama Chooses Black Klan Over Brownshirts

by JASmius



Remember Red Barry's "civilian national security force"?



And remember how the Obama Regime was arming local police departments to the teeth in a clandestine effort to create precisely that?

Evidently the White House has now decided that vilifying and disarming them in solidarity with black insurrectionists is more "fundamentally transformatively," and politically useful:

The Obama administration announced Monday it will ban federal transfers of certain types of military-style gear from local police departments, as the president seeks to respond to a spate of incidents that has frayed trust in communities across the country.

The banned items include tracked armored vehicles, bayonets and grenade launchers, according to a task force report released by the White House. Other equipment, including tactical vehicles, explosives and riot equipment, will be transferred only if local police provide additional certification and assurances that the gear will be used responsibly, according to the report.

In other words, it's not to be used against black suspects, and especially not to quell riots.

The announcement came as Obama prepared to travel to Camden, New Jersey, to highlight his administration’s strategy to help reform local police departments, including efforts to increase the numbers of officers on patrol and the use of body cameras.

Jazz Shaw poses a good question: bayonets and grenade launchers?  Yeah, we're headed in that direction, alright, but it still sounds more than a little silly.  Besides, those items are probably being redirected to Operation Jade Helm anyway, which is probably the new direction the original "civilian national security force" notion is being taken.

But tactical vehicles, explosives, and riot equipment aren't overtly militaristic, they're standard issue police inventory.  But then the idea of the federal government subsidizing local police departments does crap all over the notion of federalism, and this White House decision illustrates precisely the dangers inherent in it.
