House Democrat (thug) proposes police registration for neighborhood watchmen

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Why does the Federal Government have any jurisdiction in this matter?

They don't. It would never pass the House anyway.

 

[dilloduck]

Neighborhood watch or vigilante?

If they are legit, they shouldn't mind some law enforcement oversight and training

Keep some asshole from stalking a kid armed with Skittles

the word is now "chasing" not stalking. You need to keep up with the liberal talking points.

LOL! So the federal government doesn't have jurisdiction over determining how federal funds are spent? That's a good one!

 

[dilloduck]

GZ has made his choice and eventually and inevitably he will inherit its consequences.

Jake---You've gone and got really deep on us with this one. Do you think other people in this world will inherit the consequences of their choices too ? Just might be possible.

There is no federal jurisdiction. Unless it occurs on federal land or the high seas there's no federal statute on murder. It is a state issue. But, that's just one of the many reasons why there won't be a federal prosecution.

Not all choices are equal in type of consequence. The moment GZ pulled the trigger, he changed the conditions of his existence forever.

If local police depts. get any federal funding, yes, the feds can make the rules for Crime Watch.

Local PDs shouldn't be receiving federal funding in the first place. That's why we're seeing a rise in the militarization of police departments across the country which is jeopardizing the safety of the public.

big choice---big consequence
small choice---small consequence

Help me--am I getting warmer ?

You should immediately move to a jurisdiction that does not.

If neighborhood watches get federal funding they can make the rules. What the police do has no bearing on what neighborhood watches do.

Dear Moron-

The proposed law would withhold funding from police departments in jurisdictions that do not require registration of neighborhood watch.

That is 100% legal.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said Wednesday that she would soon introduce legislation that would cut federal funding to any state that doesn't require neighborhood watch programs to register with police.

Jackson Lee said her Justice Exists for All Act is a response to the trial of George Zimmerman, who was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter charges after shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch coordinator in the Florida neighborhood where the shooting took place.


"We will … decrease the incidence of gun violence resulting from vigilantes by reducing by 20 percent the funds that would otherwise be allocated … to any state that does not require local neighborhood watch programs to be registered with a local [law] enforcement agency," Jackson Lee said on the House floor.

She said her bill would also use the threat of less federal money to entice states to change their "stand your ground" laws. Jackson Lee said her bill would only allow states to avoid a cut if their laws are amended to include a "duty to retreat."

"For states that do not require a duty to retreat, we will question their federal funding and assess their Justice Department funding and reduce it by 20 percent," she said. She was not specific about what the change might mean for state laws.

There's only one problem with her little idea. Zimmerman's neighborhood watch did have police oversight.

Wendy Dorival, a civilian staffer from the Sanford Police who helped Zimmerman establish a neighborhood watch program, testified on day two of the trial

Evidently this little race profiteer didn't get the memo when the supremes ruled these coercive tactics (in blue) by congress unconstitutional. Why is it all about force with the commies?

That's because they didn't.

In her tiny little mind, police oversight would have kept what happened on 26 FEB 2012 from happening.

Guess what... it didn't.

No dip shit, SCOTUS ruled in the ACA that congress can NOT withhold existing funds to force compliance with new mandates. Therefore it is 100% illegal. Care to try again.
