The head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has revealed more insight into the Obama administration’s plans to nationalize local police, while blaming unrest in Ferguson and Baltimore on slavery and Jim Crow.

Justice’s Vanita Gupta has added fuel to speculations that the administration is seeking to dismantle the concept of local police forces and place them in the hands of federal control.

Speaking to a group of liberal lawyers in Colorado, Gupta said:

“The conversation in these rooms, however, is not about whether to have police or not but about what kind of policing communities want and deserve.

Has someone actually suggested we don’t need police? What is Gupta referring to?

Even though you are more likely to be shot by a cop in this country if you are white, Gupta’s remarks paint a narrative of excessive police violence aimed only at black Americans.

“Eric Garner. Michael Brown. Tamir Rice. John Crawford. Walter Scott. Freddie Gray. These names and many others have become familiar to us under tragic circumstances in recent months. Their deaths and those of other unarmed African American men and women in encounters with police officers, have provoked widespread responses across the country and have fueled the Black Lives Matter movement. In communities of color, in particular, the reaction has been stark and sobering. In the seven months I have been at the Civil Rights Division, I have spent a lot of time with local leaders and community members in cities all across America, including with numerous mothers who have lost their children in officer-involved shootings. The pain, anger, frustration — the lack of trust in the police — is real, and it is profound.”

By stirring up racial tension over policing issues, the administration hopes to gain support for its erosion of local police autonomy.

The administrations report of 21st Century Policing advocates exactly that, through federal control of hiring and training standards, as well procedure and policies on the job.

Gupta took no hesitance to link today’s issues of crime and unrest in America’s inner cities to the country’s past of racial intolerance.

“Mistrust can’t be explained away as the kneejerk reaction of the ill-informed or the hyperbolic. It’s in part the product of historical awareness about the role that police have played in enforcing and perpetuating (wait for it! here it comes!) slavery, the Black Codes, lynchings and Jim Crow segregation.”

Now it makes sense, Michael Brown knocked over that convenience store because of slavery! It seems rather insulting to black Americans to assert that they are not responsible for their own lives or behaviors.

Gupta doesn’t consider the majority of Baltimore cops are black, as is Baltimore’s mayor, city council, and much of the state leadership, as well.

An honest analysis of failed economic and social policies simply doesn’t polarize like the race card does, and more importantly, it doesn’t advance the Obama administration’s agenda.
