A group of Senate conservatives is calling on President Joe Biden to fight the nation’s violent crime wave by deploying all available resources to American cities across the United States. In a letter sent on Wednesday, Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Bill Hagerty (R-TN) are asking Biden to deploy as many federal resources as possible to fight a violent crime wave that is gripping cities with skyrocketing homicides and assaults. “Rampant crime is not inevitable—tough law enforcement can stop it,” Blackburn and Hagerty write. “But that requires a commitment to law enforcement.”(Snip)Blackburn and Hagerty urge Biden to open federal grant programs through the Justice Department

That would lead to a US version of the Gestapo. The DOJ has already been weaponized this simply gives them more boots on the ground.

What a stupid idea. Deploy the Communist Federal Government to local areas in the States to control the crime wave they created? Seriously how in hell do we get these republican worms in the Senate and House. Where do these worthless republican Senators think the Communist Death Democrats will deploy all these "resources" to control crime? Right in all the areas not controlled by the Communist Death democrats and will be used to crush any and all dissent from the Federal Communist Government.
These so-called conservative republican senators sound like the Communist Death Democrats whose solution to all problems is more Federal Control and spend more taxpayer money.
If the republicans gain control of the Senate and House they will do nothing to stop the Communist Death Democrats. Nothing.
What is sickening is as usual we will be forced to vote for the lesser of two evils (republicans) but in reality we will still be voting for evil. Lesser evil. No where to turn at this point.

This proposal mostly amounts to wasting federal dollars by propping up municipal and state leaders whose foolish decisions (defund the police, no bail, no prosecution of Antifa rioters, prosecution of anti-Antifa volunteers like Kyle Rittenhouse) have resulted in law enforcement chaos and loss of respect for police and the enforcement of our laws.
The only good aspect of this proposal is:
"The Administration should stop wasting federal taxpayer dollars on jurisdictions that refuse to ... prevent dangerous offenders from returning to the streets and reoffending, ... and refuse to prosecute or seek jail time for serious crimes and jurisdictions that have curtailed the use of bail and pretrial detention...."
Trouble is, who will be empowered to make these decisions? Merrick Garland, Chris Wray, and their woke stormtrooper goons? There's a reason the GOP is often called the "stupid party."
When your political enemies are busy destroying themselves (e.g., mayors and governors of Los Angeles and San Francisco, CA; Minneapolis, MN; New York, NY; Chicago, IL; among others) it's best to get out of their way and let the local voters decide their fate.

Ah yes the first step to nationalizing all city and county police departments. But defund them anyway because real competent well funded help from the federal government is on the way.

This is the next step in teh plan to federalize all the police. Does this sound like a good idea in our current turmoil? :
FTA: Blackburn and Hagerty urge Biden to open federal grant programs through the Justice Department that would go directly to law enforcement units ..

The only "crime wave" a federal police force will combat under the current regime is opposition to election cheating and resistance to destruction to civil liberties.

Fascism= Central Government control of Police, Schools, Investment, Manufacturing, Communication, Military, Banks, Commerce, Transportation, Roads, Medicine, Hospitals, Energy, Religion, Media, Information, Property, Bodies, anything and everything. Enforced with tyrannical authoritarian police powers.
For Communism, replace "control" with "ownership".
The Uniparty is still Fascist at this point in time.

#14 - Federal funds given to States and Local Jurisdictions always, always comes with stringent requirements and conditions. Can you guess what sort of requirements and conditions the Communist Death Democrat controlled Federal Government will demand? Guess.

FTA: "Blackburn and Hagerty urge Biden to open federal grant programs through the Justice Department that would go directly to law enforcement units fighting violent crime along with reviving former President Trump’s “Operation Legend” program that deployed federal officers to cities to assist in violent crime arrests and investigations."
If a city seriously wants to fight crime, they don't need federal officers "assisting," whether the idea comes from Trump or Biden. Community Development Block Grants have often been used to good effect by civic-minded local officials but the feds directly meddling with local law enforcement tends to hamstring local law enforcement. The blue states and cities aren't managed by the civic minded, and the grant monies would line the pockets of the politically connected, with a share finding its way to the pockets of the politicians who send their friends and supporters grant dollars. Let the10th amendment be the guiding principle and keep federal law enforcement focused on their federal law responsibilities, and for those jurisdictions that have essentially become criminal sanctuary cities, no federal dollars should ever be sent to such places. A good example of law enforcement federalism is is Federal Air Marshal (FAM) program, whose federal law enforcement agents are focused on anti-air piracy and ensuring the free movement of people and commerce. They don't get involved in state and local criminal matters, nor should they.

Yep, create the crisis in order to seize more power, this time taking it away from State law enforcement officials.
If the Feds really wanted to stop high crime in major cities they would revoke the citizenship of George Soros and deport him to whatever country will take him.

Big Government "Conservatives" want to federalize local crime issues. Exactly what the CommuNazis want.

Political stunt to get the voters to focus on out of control crime. They know it won't work since the DAs do not prosecute.

Local areas refuse to prosecute crimes and keep criminals in prison, in part because it's very expensive to keep people incarcerated, and these places would rather spend their money on other things. The US Senate Conservative solution? Force the rest of us to pay for it by federalizing local crime problems.
