Apparently Obama and the DOJ believe that local police are incapable of handling crime in their cities. I guess looking in the mirror didn’t cross his mind.

Although violent crime has been in decline in much of the country for years, federal authorities are re-committing resources, some of which were directed to address anti-terror concerns in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, to battle troubling spikes in local crime.

Yates on Monday is set to identify five cities—Compton, Calif., Little Rock, Ark., West Memphis, Ark., Newark, N.J., and Flint, Mich.— which are poised to get an infusion of federal help to battle violence even as most of the country has enjoyed relative calm.

Democratic rule has turned these cities into hell holes that no sane person would want to live in.

“Every community is different and every community has their own unique challenges,” Yates said. “For us to be most effective, we really need to be digging in at the local level… to fashion our response. This is not a one-size-fits-all kind of solution.”

The five cities represent the first expansion of the so-called Violence Reduction Network, launched last year by the Justice Department to address similar violent crime problems in Chicago, Detroit, Wilmington, Del., Camden, N.J., and in the Oakland-Richmond, Calif., area. here….

“Violence Reduction Network”?……Great, just what we need another government start up, (TSA anyone), ready to grow into a unionized juggernaut ran by bureaucrats in Washington…..or maybe something a little more sinister, you decide.
