Feds Racialize Law Enforcement

Despite having caused a nationwide crime wave by demonizing, demoralizing, and defunding the police, Democrats don’t have anything against police per se. You can’t impose a police state without police. What they object to is local police not subject to their centralized control. Until law enforcement that is responsive to local communities can be replaced by politicized national agencies like the FBI, Democrats exert what pressure they can from Washington.

Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, No. 3 in command at the Injustice Department, issued orders at an FBI “civil rights” conference in June:

“Approach each and every law enforcement agency in your district that reports zero hate crimes or does not participate in hate crimes reporting to learn what’s going on and why that’s happening.”

That is, if the local police department does not arrest people for being racist, they can expect a federal investigation to determine whether they might be racists themselves.

Ninety percent of violent interracial felonies are committed by blacks. But counting black on white violence as hate crime is not what leftists like Gupta have in mind. As noted at National Justice,

Blacks are rarely charged with hate crimes when they commit bias crimes against whites. For example, [in June] a black man who shot five white men in a multi-state shooting spree told police his sole motive was that he hated white people, yet neither local prosecutors or the FBI have charged him with a hate crime.

In contrast, you can be charged with ethnic intimidation for putting up “I [Heart] Being White” stickers.

Gupta isn’t the only fed intent on repurposing law enforcement to impose racial justice. Jay Greenberg is Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division. WBALTV enthusiastically reports that per Greenberg:

• All current FBI agents will get added hate crimes training at six regional civil rights conferences being held through the end of the year…

• New agents will get the additional training at the FBI academy, starting with the next class this fall;

• The Bureau will commence fresh outreach to community groups, including those in historically underrepresented and targeted populations [i.e., politically preferred identity groups];

• The Bureau will be contacting every local law enforcement agency that has not reported hate crimes data to federal databases to ask why; federal statistics show this will total more than 3,200 agencies, based on the most recent year of data available;

• The FBI will offer additional help to local police departments in reporting and investigating hate incidents or crimes;

• And a nationwide anti-hate, multi-media advertising campaign, in part to encourage often-reluctant victims to come forward, will launch in the coming weeks and months.

Hate hoaxes will not be able to bridge the widening gap between the demand for hate crimes and the supply. This can be resolved through legislation. According to liberal doctrine, speech leftists don’t like is violence. Laws will soon reflect this tenet. The FBI will eagerly see to it that those laws are rigidly enforced, even as immigration law is ignored and inner cities decay into anarchy.
