ICYMI federal control of local police
These conclusions suggest that federal dollars for local policing have more to do with control via “accountability” than crime reduction. The new Administration included one billion dollars in the stimulus package to hire 7,000 new officers in 2009 and 2010. In April 2009, the House pledged an additional $1.8 billion over the next five years to provide 50,000 federally paid local officers. In June 2010, the President warned federal lawmakers that without further stimulus funds, police layoffs would be inevitable. In other words, over time the federal government will be paying the cost of tens of thousands of police officers nationwide. These numbers reflect a growing dependency on federal dollars for local law enforcement needs, something that then Senator Biden wanted to make permanent.
President Obama’s Justice Department has effectively taken control of police departments across the country by using a sneaky legal trick endorsed by the United Nations.
Incredibly, it has been completed through simple lawsuits.
Placing local enforcement under federal control is much easier than you might think. The Obama administration has done it 26 times using a legal mechanism known as a consent decree, The Washington Post and Lifezette.com reported.
Here is how the process works:
The Justice Department’s civil rights division files a federal lawsuit against a local government, alleging civil or constitutional rights violations. A federal law, the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (42 U.S.C. § 14141), gives the DOJ the power to do this, noted Robert Romano of Americans for Limited Government.
To settle the suit, the local government enters into a special court order, called a consent decree, which puts the DOJ in charge of major aspects of local law enforcement.
lol the lefties were irate that Trump stopped Obama's control over local police

Your idea of small government extends to open borders and letting criminals out of jail. No further
You want more government everywhere else

I'm not one of you morons who claims to want small government . . . and no reduction to your entitlements.
The small government mantra has always been unmitigated bullshit.

No shit Sally. That's why you sound so retarded

My answer to wanting more shit done by the government is more government. You girls aren't willing to do what would be required in order to reduce the size of government, nor are most Americans. I choose not to delude myself with this "small government" fantasy you occasionally promote. It's always been bullshit, and the irony of it being chiefly the slogan of the original party of big government in this country, the GOP, is just icing on the cake.

You seem to confuse me with someone that has a problem with entitlements reform.
It's your generation and voting that make that a political non starter Delores.
You know, the people who want more government.
