Dem Rep. Elijah Cummings Asks Obama To Appoint A Police Czar To “Prevent More Fergusons”
WASHINGTON – Rep. Elijah Cummings, along with other members of the Congressional Black Caucus, sent a letter Monday to President Barack Obama, urging the administration to pursue changes to local law enforcement structure to “prevent more Fergusons,” including a federal czar to oversee local law enforcement.
“The administration must quickly establish a national commission to review existing police policies and practices,” the letter reads. “And identify the best policies and practices that can prevent more Fergusons and vastly improve policing in communities across the nation.”
In addition to the commission, the letter calls for the appointment of a federal czar within the Justice Department to monitor and oversee local police departments that receive federal funding.
Besides Cummings, a Maryland Democrat, Democratic Reps. Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Steven Horsford of Nevada, John Lewis of Georgia, Gwen Moore of Wisconsin and Barbara Lee of Texas signed the letter, as well as AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and actress Cynthia Nixon.
Wild Thing’s comment.………..
Obama has more czars under his regime than Imperial Russia.
I guess assaulting police officers and fracturing their eye sockets and robbing cigars from local stores and looting and throwing bottles of piss at officers is very EBONIC these days!
The racists make another unreasonable request. They should be embarrassed over the failure of their Black communities to function like a civilized society.
