Executive orders need to be stripped from the power of the office, and it needs to happen yesterday.
The task force also encouraged external, independent investigations in cases of officer-involved shootings or deaths in custody, and suggested that local departments mandate the use of outside prosecutors for those cases. The report additionally urged that local policing practices should be separated from the efforts of federal immigration enforcement officers where civil enforcement and nonserious crime was concerned. The task force emphasized that school resource officers should focus on positive interactions with youth and that their involvement in student discipline should be limited.

Follow up and after thought to posting
Truthfully, just now I typed before I clicked to read the supporting article.
Bad form, I know.
But honestly...here's the deal...
What's worse? The idea that the above may be untrue, or the idea that this kind of BS has become so common place from Obama that it sounds far from suspicious at all to consider it could be true...

Breaking almost every single promise he made leading up to the elections

Not arguing that, he's not the best president the U.S. has ever had, that's for sure.
Just commenting on political strategy and how it tends to coin entirely new words.

I called it.
This sort of thing is exactly the sort of power grab that LEOs have been facilitating and making a case for over the last 20 years.
Stop acting up American LEOs. You are making a case for federal oversight in every precinct. Your fun will die with the country. Its not even just about you.

According to Ferguson Mayor James Knowles, who spoke with the Daily Caller last month, CRS “protest marshals” helped train people demonstrating against police over the shooting.
These are the same people Holder called on after the Ferguson shooting to promote greater diversity in the police departments: “Justice Department officials from the Community Relations Service are also on the ground in Missouri to help convene law enforcement officials and civic and faith leaders to plot out steps to reduce tensions in the community…Over time, these conversations should consider the role that increased diversity in law enforcement can play in helping to build trust within communities.”
Its powers were broadened in 2009 by President Obama when he signed into law the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. The new law gave the CRS—a small, little-known unit in the DOJ—the power to “develop strategies and respond to violent hate crimes.” According to the DOJ’s website, “Through this law, we will strengthen the protections against crimes based on the color of your skin, the faith in your heart, or the place of your birth. We will finally add federal protections against crimes abased on gender, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.”

??? I don't recall lending support to federalizing our police force. I was just trying to point out that we already have national police forces and everyone seems to be fine with them.
In any case, this is a non-issue since all the police forces in the country aren't getting nationalized. Benevolent Heretic pointed out with the second post of the thread that this is nothing.

It is much bigger than that, you defend this administration's policy left, left and further left.
Though, I would like to hear your explanation of why the FBI is unconstitutional.

ACTUALLY, I defend this administration from pointless right wing rhetoric and lies. You bring nothing to the debate by lying about your opponents. I seek to cut through the ignorance from the left and the right. Right now, the ignorant rhetoric is coming pretty heavy from the right side, but you know I've been on these forums for a while. You should know I call out the left's ignorant rhetoric too.

Did I say it was?
Just curious, how many here would want a federal police force? -beezer
