We remember our US TV shows centered on POLICE themes-----ADAM 12---------IN HEAT OF NIGHT------back played on TV from late 1960s to mid-1990s.
Episodes occasional presented the PLOT of officers trying to MOONLIGHT from their jobs as public police employees to side jobs working for private businesses as private security to earn more money.
In both cases these TV SHOWS showed the POLICE CHIEF saying very clearly ----THERE WOULD BE NO MOONLIGHTING-----our officers need to be ready for emergency calls which could happen at any time. OFFICERS were paid a decent salary/wage-----they received good benefits for the hard and dangerous work they did---so, MOONLIGHTING was not a necessity.
FAST FORWARD to Clinton era 1990s---------and we see POLICE UNIONS lobbying against these regulations fighting to allow police officers to MOONLIGHT under some sort of oversight by any number of higher-ranking officers. What may have started as an OUTSOURCING of our public police for PRIVATE EVENTS/LOCATIONS-----having some kind of OVERSIGHT by higher-ranking officers became SUBPRIMED of course----filled with corruption-----until today we are being told by DOJ investigations this structure is entirely CRIMINAL AND CORRUPT.

NOPD paid-detail system taking off, city officials say

After a rocky start, the city's system for doling out moonlighting jobs to NOPD officers has taken off in recent months, according to city officials.
After running a deficit in 2014, the Office of Police Secondary Employment expects to be self sufficient in 2015, its operations paid for by the administrative fees that businesses have to pay when they hire police officers to work "paid details" as the moonlighting gigs are called.
A more flexible pay scale and an agreement with the firm that runs operations at the Superdome have boosted the number of officers participating in the program as well as the number of hours they are working, said John Salomone, the program's supervisor.
There are now almost as many paid-detail hours being worked as there were before the U.S. Department of Justice released a scathing report describing the NOPD's laissez-faire system of moonlighting as "the aorta of corruption" in the department, Salomone said.
Under the old system, officers were allowed to seek out their own paid details, negotiate their pay rates and hire their friends to work alongside them.
As part of a court-mandated reform agenda, the OPSE now works as matchmaker between officers and businesses that want to hire extra security. A schedule dictates pay and is the same for all businesses hiring NOPD officers, with the exception of the Superdome, which was allowed to use its old pay scale after it had trouble hiring enough officers through the OPSE pay scale.
Officer participation in the OPSE program shot up after the Superdome exception got off the ground.
A new pay schedule has also helped, Salomone said. Whereas the pay scale was uniform according to rank when the program was first started, there is now a tiered system that allows businesses to choose from four pay rates to offer for their security detail. On days that are in high demand, they can choose a higher rate to encourage officers to sign up for the job.
Despite the increased participation, many rank and file officers still resent the OPSE's intrusion on a revenue stream that many of them rely on, according to police unions.

New Orleans Ethics Review Board plans closer oversight of police monitor
The board that governs the New Orleans Office of Independent Police Monitor agreed last week to put that office under tighter scrutiny, a change that would more closely align the board’s practices with what the law says it should be doing.
The change would create a separate committee to review the office’s reports and investigations each year and present its findings to the board and the public.
Right now, one committee does that work for both the OIPM and the Office of Inspector General, which the Ethics Review Board also oversees. But its reviews have been sporadic, and board members and the police monitor, Susan Hutson, said the new approach would ensure the two offices are each given adequate oversight.
The move also conforms with the law, which specifies that a separate panel of the ethics board must be designated for the OIPM, the city’s civilian police oversight agency.
“I think the most important public institution in the city, period, is the Police Department, and the most important tool that we have for moving the Police Department in the right direction is our independent monitor’s office,” ethics board member Michael Cowan said.
“So everything about this just calls out to me for separate committees, with separate members.”
In another move to improve oversight, the board directed its general counsel, Dane Ciolino, to find a peer agency that could review Hutson’s work in detail every three years.
It also agreed to endorse a proposed City Council ordinance to give Hutson more time to file her annual report on the Police Department, provided that the council also considers requiring the NOPD to send Hutson the data she needs to complete her work well ahead of her deadline.
The decisions came after a working group assigned to review measures by which to grade Hutson’s performance presented its recommendations to the full ethics board.
Hutson’s office was created in 2009 to monitor internal NOPD investigations and to mediate police-community disputes. However, it has generally flown under the radar, with its oversight role being overshadowed by a consent decree the city signed with the U.S. Justice Department that called for major reforms within the NOPD.
Those reforms are overseen by a federal judge and a team of appointed monitors.
Moreover, the OIPM has been independently funded and autonomous for only three years, after the City Council approved its split from the OIG after years of acrimony between Hutson and former Inspector General Ed Quatrevaux.
The decoupling was formalized in a City Charter amendment voters approved in 2016; the Ethics Review Board is seeking to better comply with that amendment.
In addition to the ERB’s oversight, that law calls for annual reviews of Hutson’s reports by a three-member committee appointed by the mayor, the ERB and the City Council. It also calls for a peer review of Hutson every three years.
But while the ERB had allowed one committee, with the same three members, to review both the OIPM and the OIG, that has proved burdensome for those individuals, board member James Brown said. The last time the committee released a report was 2016; that report was in fact for work the OIG and IPM did two years prior, in 2014.
Moreover, he said, the two offices are separate, with separate missions, and should be judged separately — a view that Hutson agreed with.
While the law creating the OIG specifies the peer agency that is supposed to review its work triennially, the Association of Inspectors General, the OIPM’s law does not make such a designation.
Hutson urged the board to take a close look at the National Association of Civilian Oversight for Law Enforcement, a group where she is a board member. (The city's inspector general has also served on the board of the association that judges his work.)
“We’re concerned that it might be the same thing that happened with the last peer review (of her office) — it will not truly be a peer,” Hutson said. “We want somebody who does what we do.”
However, Brown said that association has not done peer reviews in the past.
The last peer review of the OIPM was conducted by the Police Assessment Resource Center, which helped the City Council craft the legislation for Hutson’s office.
That review suggested Hutson change her mission statement to better reflect the city ordinance, rapped the handling and tone of several reports she released, and said she should outline in detail the standards by which her office governs itself, among other recommendations.
In the end, the ERB decided to have Ciolino look into both proposed review agencies and report back. Hutson also said she would present standards for her office for the board’s consideration in the coming weeks.
Finally, the ERB backed a proposed ordinance to extend the time Hutson has to file her annual report by two months, to May 30, provided that the City Council also consider requiring the NOPD to finalize and present its data to Hutson two months before that.
The working group assigned to review how best to grade Hutson's work met in public last week for the first time, after its members had previously discussed matters via an unpublicized teleconference. Such teleconferences are not permitted under the state’s open meetings law.

We have been hearing for years that these CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARDS are not working for our 99% of WE THE PEOPLE OF BALTIMORE. The lack of public transparency everyone has been fighting to make OPEN for POLICE REVIEW BOARDS-----has simply continued. These civilian reviews committees have PROCEDURES making THEM as OPAQUE as the existing POLICE REVIEW BOARD.
Below we see some members advocating against PRIVATE JOHNS HOPKINS POLICE---yet, that same civilian review board is a policy written by global hedge fund JOHNS HOPKINS CORPORATION to MOVE FORWARD further removal and privatization of or NORMAL US GOVERNMENT AGENCY OVERSIGHT---CHECKS AND BALANCES.
We do not need CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARDS----or OIG STRUCTURES----we need our Baltimore City agencies tasked with duties to hold POLICE DEPARTMENT accountable allowed to FUNCTION. These agencies have not functioned as CHECKS AND BALANCES-----they have partnered with Baltimore police especially in hiding criminal and/or police corruption.
LET'S GET OUR EXISTING PUBLIC AGENCIES OF OVERSIGHT WORKING---THAT IS ALL-AMERICAN AS THESE FAKE LEFT SOCIAL BENEFIT 5% FREEMASON/GREEK PLAYERS IN WHAT WILL BECOME GLOBAL NGOS ----KNOW.
These civilian review boards via what is now a NATIONAL NGO of civilian review boards will simply be global NGOS tied to GLOBAL CORPORATE TRIBUNALS AND TRIBUNAL COURTS as Baltimore takes its local public police department into being global corporate security and policing. All of these policies MOVING FORWARD especially since OBAMA-era.
Nothing is more DEEP, DEEP, REALLY STATE STATE then taking away our local public agencies overseeing our local Baltimore Police department and making a global NGO committee seem as if they are holding global corporate police and security structures accountable.
Civilian review board: Baltimore police undermining oversight efforts
Bridal Pearson
At a recent public hearing on the Baltimore Police Department’s compliance with the city’s consent decree with the federal government, City Solicitor Andre Davis disclosed information about a dispute that has unfortunately arisen between us, the Civilian Review Board, and one of the agencies that we oversee — the Baltimore Police Department (BPD). Mr. Davis not only shared information about the dispute but also his impressions and opinions of it. Because this important matter has now been made public, we wish to ensure that the public is accurately informed.
A little background: Baltimore City’s Civilian Review Board is an autonomous, free-standing tribunal created in 1999 by the Maryland legislature. Although our members are appointed by the mayor, we are designed to be independent of the city. And to her credit, Mayor Catherine Pugh has respected our independence. Such independence is critical to our mission, part of which is to investigate and make objective recommendations about citizen complaints of police misconduct. Plainly, we can succeed in our mission only if we are truly independent of the city, but can also count on the city — and its police department — to cooperate with our investigations.
To ensure cooperation with the board, the legislature mandated that the BPD and the other five law enforcement units that are under our oversight supply us with their official internal case files for each matter that is the subject of a citizen complaint. And, to ensure our ability to function effectively as an investigatory agency, the legislature gave us the power to issue subpoenas, which are as fully compulsory as any issued by a court of this state.
As anyone would imagine, successfully performing our public mission requires a careful balancing of the privacy rights of individuals involved in our cases (complainants as well as officers) and the public’s right to know. In balancing these interests — privacy versus transparency — we of course have sought legal counsel, which Mr. Davis has offered. However, although we have the right and, in part, the obligation to rely upon the advice of attorneys, we also have the responsibility to make ultimate decisions about these matters ourselves, a responsibility that we cannot delegate to anyone, including the attorneys who advise us.
This summer, Mr. Davis asked us to sign a confidentiality agreement that restricted significantly our ability to communicate to the public about our actions regarding BPD officers. (The agreement excluded those officers from the other law enforcement units within our jurisdiction to oversee.) The proposed agreement would restrict us far beyond the confidentiality obligations imposed upon us by statute, and so we pressed the city’s lawyers for some justification for what appeared to be an interference with our obligation to keep the public informed. Receiving no satisfactory explanation or a willingness on behalf of the city solicitor to negotiate the terms of the agreement, we determined not to sign it but assured city officials that we would honor our statutory confidentiality obligations in any event.
Upon learning of our decision to not sign the agreement, BPD stopped providing us case files. This made it impossible for us to investigate and issue recommendations, with the result that a number of complaints have now “timed out” — meaning that the deadline for any disciplinary action against the officers involved has expired. Meanwhile, many more complaints are in imminent danger of “timing out,” solely due to BPD’s inexplicable refusal to meet its statutory obligations. As this crisis mounted, we eventually had to resort to the extraordinary measure of serving subpoenas upon BPD to obtain the case files it is required by law to provide. Incredibly, BPD has refused to comply with the subpoenas. That an agency sworn to enforce the law against others refused to obey the law itself is deplorable, but it perhaps serves as a cautionary reminder of why it is necessary to maintain a Civilian Review Board.
The only explanation we have been given is that BPD and the law department are piqued that we will not muzzle ourselves by signing the proposed confidentiality agreement. But, as we have many times reminded them, our obligation to maintain appropriate confidentiality is imposed upon us directly by act of the legislature, so, any confidentiality agreement we might sign is unnecessary at best and improperly restrictive at worst. In any event, BPD’s obligation to provide case files is automatic and unconditional, and the obligation to comply with a subpoena is automatic and unconditional.
We are not a political body, and we are not interested in taking on powers or obligations not imposed upon us by law. But we have a sacred duty to insist upon the power we have been granted by the legislature in order to fulfill the obligations we have been given by the legislature. At bottom, our job is to help ensure that BPD obeys the laws it is sworn to enforce. Clearly, if we yield in this dispute, we have yielded the very ground we have sworn to defend.

We saw in NEW ORLEANS police reform the appointment of a MILITARY COLONEL as oversight of these reforms.

Our military’s core function is to fight and deter foreign enemies, which often requires speed, surprise, and the use of specialized weapons and heavy artillery. Civilian police, in contrast, are meant to keep the peace and to protect local communities while safeguarding civil liberties. Regrettably, and to a dangerous degree, those lines are blurring'.

Your MilitaryConstitutional questions emerge about expanding role of troops on US soil
By: Tara Copp and Aaron Mehta November 23, 2018
Mattis to reporters: no lethal force at border, troops to aid if migrants 'beatin' on' border patrol
Hear Defense Secretary James Mattis tell reporters in a huddle that, though the Trump administration has expanded troops power to include lethal force at the border, there are so far no armed soldiers deployed there. "We don't have guns in their hands right now," Mattis said. A new White House directive authorizing U.S. troops to engage in some law enforcement activities on American soil, potentially including the lethal use of force, is being sharply questioned by security and legal experts, who are raising concerns about both its underlying legality and the way the White House issued the controversial order.
The new White House memo authorizes Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to order “Department of Defense military personnel” to “perform those military protective activities that the Secretary of Defense determines are reasonably necessary to ensure the protection of federal personnel, including a show or use of force (including lethal force, where necessary), crowd control, temporary detention and cursory search."
The memo also said: "Department of Defense personnel shall not, without further direction from the President, conduct traditional civilian law enforcement activities.”
Security and legal experts interviewed by Military Times questioned how the military could conduct what they said were clear law enforcement roles — especially detention and search — and not run afoul of the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, which explicitly prohibits active-duty military forces from conducting law enforcement activities inside the United States.
“It’s like being a ‘little bit’ pregnant. You can’t be. You can’t engage in law enforcement without engaging in law enforcement. Those are law enforcement functions as they have been defined for hundreds of years in the United States," said William Banks, author of “Soldiers on the Home Front: The Domestic Role of the American Military,” and the former director of the Institute for National Security and Counter-terrorism at the Syracuse University College of Law.
It has cost $72 million so far to deploy active-duty troops to the border, Pentagon saysThe price tag includes the costs of bringing troops home.
By: Tara CoppIn a break from how the president has authorized other military actions along the border, the new authorities were submitted to Mattis via a “Cabinet memo” signed by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly instead of a presidential Executive Order. President Donald Trump did sign a precursor to that Cabinet memo, an internal “decision memo” that was obtained and published by Newsweek.
In an interview with reporters Wednesday, Mattis again emphasized that the approximately 5,800 federal active-duty troops deployed to the border would not be armed, and said they would not conduct arrests or find themselves in a law enforcement role.
Episodes occasional presented the PLOT of officers trying to MOONLIGHT from their jobs as public police employees to side jobs working for private businesses as private security to earn more money.
In both cases these TV SHOWS showed the POLICE CHIEF saying very clearly ----THERE WOULD BE NO MOONLIGHTING-----our officers need to be ready for emergency calls which could happen at any time.

New Orleans Ethics Review Board plans closer oversight of police monitor

The board that governs the New Orleans Office of Independent Police Monitor agreed last week to put that office under tighter scrutiny, a change that would more closely align the board’s practices with what the law says it should be doing.
The change would create a separate committee to review the office’s reports and investigations each year and present its findings to the board and the public.
Right now, one committee does that work for both the OIPM and the Office of Inspector General, which the Ethics Review Board also oversees. But its reviews have been sporadic, and board members and the police monitor, Susan Hutson, said the new approach would ensure the two offices are each given adequate oversight.
The move also conforms with the law, which specifies that a separate panel of the ethics board must be designated for the OIPM, the city’s civilian police oversight agency.
“I think the most important public institution in the city, period, is the Police Department, and the most important tool that we have for moving the Police Department in the right direction is our independent monitor’s office,” ethics board member Michael Cowan said.
“So everything about this just calls out to me for separate committees, with separate members.”
In another move to improve oversight, the board directed its general counsel, Dane Ciolino, to find a peer agency that could review Hutson’s work in detail every three years.
It also agreed to endorse a proposed City Council ordinance to give Hutson more time to file her annual report on the Police Department, provided that the council also considers requiring the NOPD to send Hutson the data she needs to complete her work well ahead of her deadline.
The decisions came after a working group assigned to review measures by which to grade Hutson’s performance presented its recommendations to the full ethics board.
Hutson’s office was created in 2009 to monitor internal NOPD investigations and to mediate police-community disputes. However, it has generally flown under the radar, with its oversight role being overshadowed by a consent decree the city signed with the U.S. Justice Department that called for major reforms within the NOPD.
Those reforms are overseen by a federal judge and a team of appointed monitors.
Moreover, the OIPM has been independently funded and autonomous for only three years, after the City Council approved its split from the OIG after years of acrimony between Hutson and former Inspector General Ed Quatrevaux.
The decoupling was formalized in a City Charter amendment voters approved in 2016; the Ethics Review Board is seeking to better comply with that amendment.
In addition to the ERB’s oversight, that law calls for annual reviews of Hutson’s reports by a three-member committee appointed by the mayor, the ERB and the City Council. It also calls for a peer review of Hutson every three years.
But while the ERB had allowed one committee, with the same three members, to review both the OIPM and the OIG, that has proved burdensome for those individuals, board member James Brown said. The last time the committee released a report was 2016; that report was in fact for work the OIG and IPM did two years prior, in 2014.
Moreover, he said, the two offices are separate, with separate missions, and should be judged separately — a view that Hutson agreed with.
While the law creating the OIG specifies the peer agency that is supposed to review its work triennially, the Association of Inspectors General, the OIPM’s law does not make such a designation.
Hutson urged the board to take a close look at the National Association of Civilian Oversight for Law Enforcement, a group where she is a board member. (The city's inspector general has also served on the board of the association that judges his work.)
“We’re concerned that it might be the same thing that happened with the last peer review (of her office) — it will not truly be a peer,” Hutson said. “We want somebody who does what we do.”
However, Brown said that association has not done peer reviews in the past.
The last peer review of the OIPM was conducted by the Police Assessment Resource Center, which helped the City Council craft the legislation for Hutson’s office.
That review suggested Hutson change her mission statement to better reflect the city ordinance, rapped the handling and tone of several reports she released, and said she should outline in detail the standards by which her office governs itself, among other recommendations.
In the end, the ERB decided to have Ciolino look into both proposed review agencies and report back. Hutson also said she would present standards for her office for the board’s consideration in the coming weeks.
Finally, the ERB backed a proposed ordinance to extend the time Hutson has to file her annual report by two months, to May 30, provided that the City Council also consider requiring the NOPD to finalize and present its data to Hutson two months before that.
The working group assigned to review how best to grade Hutson's work met in public last week for the first time, after its members had previously discussed matters via an unpublicized teleconference. Such teleconferences are not permitted under the state’s open meetings law.

We have been hearing for years that these CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARDS are not working for our 99% of WE THE PEOPLE OF BALTIMORE. The lack of public transparency everyone has been fighting to make OPEN for POLICE REVIEW BOARDS-----has simply continued. These civilian reviews committees have PROCEDURES making THEM as OPAQUE as the existing POLICE REVIEW BOARD.
Below we see some members advocating against PRIVATE JOHNS HOPKINS POLICE---yet, that same civilian review board is a policy written by global hedge fund JOHNS HOPKINS CORPORATION to MOVE FORWARD further removal and privatization of or NORMAL US GOVERNMENT AGENCY OVERSIGHT---CHECKS AND BALANCES.
We do not need CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARDS----or OIG STRUCTURES----we need our Baltimore City agencies tasked with duties to hold POLICE DEPARTMENT accountable allowed to FUNCTION. These agencies have not functioned as CHECKS AND BALANCES-----they have partnered with Baltimore police especially in hiding criminal and/or police corruption.
LET'S GET OUR EXISTING PUBLIC AGENCIES OF OVERSIGHT WORKING---THAT IS ALL-AMERICAN AS THESE FAKE LEFT SOCIAL BENEFIT 5% FREEMASON/GREEK PLAYERS IN WHAT WILL BECOME GLOBAL NGOS ----KNOW.
These civilian review boards via what is now a NATIONAL NGO of civilian review boards will simply be global NGOS tied to GLOBAL CORPORATE TRIBUNALS AND TRIBUNAL COURTS as Baltimore takes its local public police department into being global corporate security and policing. All of these policies MOVING FORWARD especially since OBAMA-era.
Nothing is more DEEP, DEEP, REALLY STATE STATE then taking away our local public agencies overseeing our local Baltimore Police department and making a global NGO committee seem as if they are holding global corporate police and security structures accountable.
Civilian review board: Baltimore police undermining oversight efforts
Bridal Pearson
At a recent public hearing on the Baltimore Police Department’s compliance with the city’s consent decree with the federal government, City Solicitor Andre Davis disclosed information about a dispute that has unfortunately arisen between us, the Civilian Review Board, and one of the agencies that we oversee — the Baltimore Police Department (BPD). Mr. Davis not only shared information about the dispute but also his impressions and opinions of it. Because this important matter has now been made public, we wish to ensure that the public is accurately informed.
A little background: Baltimore City’s Civilian Review Board is an autonomous, free-standing tribunal created in 1999 by the Maryland legislature. Although our members are appointed by the mayor, we are designed to be independent of the city. And to her credit, Mayor Catherine Pugh has respected our independence. Such independence is critical to our mission, part of which is to investigate and make objective recommendations about citizen complaints of police misconduct. Plainly, we can succeed in our mission only if we are truly independent of the city, but can also count on the city — and its police department — to cooperate with our investigations.
To ensure cooperation with the board, the legislature mandated that the BPD and the other five law enforcement units that are under our oversight supply us with their official internal case files for each matter that is the subject of a citizen complaint. And, to ensure our ability to function effectively as an investigatory agency, the legislature gave us the power to issue subpoenas, which are as fully compulsory as any issued by a court of this state.
As anyone would imagine, successfully performing our public mission requires a careful balancing of the privacy rights of individuals involved in our cases (complainants as well as officers) and the public’s right to know. In balancing these interests — privacy versus transparency — we of course have sought legal counsel, which Mr. Davis has offered. However, although we have the right and, in part, the obligation to rely upon the advice of attorneys, we also have the responsibility to make ultimate decisions about these matters ourselves, a responsibility that we cannot delegate to anyone, including the attorneys who advise us.
This summer, Mr. Davis asked us to sign a confidentiality agreement that restricted significantly our ability to communicate to the public about our actions regarding BPD officers. (The agreement excluded those officers from the other law enforcement units within our jurisdiction to oversee.) The proposed agreement would restrict us far beyond the confidentiality obligations imposed upon us by statute, and so we pressed the city’s lawyers for some justification for what appeared to be an interference with our obligation to keep the public informed. Receiving no satisfactory explanation or a willingness on behalf of the city solicitor to negotiate the terms of the agreement, we determined not to sign it but assured city officials that we would honor our statutory confidentiality obligations in any event.
Upon learning of our decision to not sign the agreement, BPD stopped providing us case files. This made it impossible for us to investigate and issue recommendations, with the result that a number of complaints have now “timed out” — meaning that the deadline for any disciplinary action against the officers involved has expired. Meanwhile, many more complaints are in imminent danger of “timing out,” solely due to BPD’s inexplicable refusal to meet its statutory obligations. As this crisis mounted, we eventually had to resort to the extraordinary measure of serving subpoenas upon BPD to obtain the case files it is required by law to provide. Incredibly, BPD has refused to comply with the subpoenas. That an agency sworn to enforce the law against others refused to obey the law itself is deplorable, but it perhaps serves as a cautionary reminder of why it is necessary to maintain a Civilian Review Board.
The only explanation we have been given is that BPD and the law department are piqued that we will not muzzle ourselves by signing the proposed confidentiality agreement. But, as we have many times reminded them, our obligation to maintain appropriate confidentiality is imposed upon us directly by act of the legislature, so, any confidentiality agreement we might sign is unnecessary at best and improperly restrictive at worst. In any event, BPD’s obligation to provide case files is automatic and unconditional, and the obligation to comply with a subpoena is automatic and unconditional.
We are not a political body, and we are not interested in taking on powers or obligations not imposed upon us by law. But we have a sacred duty to insist upon the power we have been granted by the legislature in order to fulfill the obligations we have been given by the legislature. At bottom, our job is to help ensure that BPD obeys the laws it is sworn to enforce. Clearly, if we yield in this dispute, we have yielded the very ground we have sworn to defend.

NEW ORLEANS --After more than 20 years on the force, New Orleans police Superintendent Michael Harrison is leaving the Crescent City for the East Coast.
Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh announced Tuesday that she selected Harrison as the choice for commissioner-designate of the Baltimore Police Department after her first pick had to withdraw because of family concerns'.
We saw in NEW ORLEANS police reform the appointment of a MILITARY COLONEL as oversight of these reforms. Obama era was militarized policing----our local police being trained by global private military corporations which could care less about US CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS---300 YEARS OF FEDERAL CITIZENS PROTECTIONS-----could care less about all that LEFT SOCIAL PROGRESSIVE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT creating COMMON LAW around 99% of citizens AND THEIR RIGHT AND LIBERTIES.
Below we see the same---here is a NAVAL ACADEMY writing about what those CIVILIAN POLICE COMMITTEES should look like and work for.
In FAILED STATE NATIONS sacked and looted with continuous wars the WORLD BANK/IMF with global military corporation complex come in to be that GOVERNMENT-----since the nation destroyed by continuous wars no longer have a functioning government. This is what MOVING FORWARD here in US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES is doing now ------dismantling and replacing all our ALL-AMERICAN civil structures tied to security and policing and placing them in the hands of GLOBAL CORPORATE TRIBUNAL POLICE AND SECURITY TRIBUNALS tied to ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE.

Demilitarizing America’s Police: A Constitutional Analysis
INTRODUCTION
Our military’s core function is to fight and deter foreign enemies, which often requires speed, surprise, and the use of specialized weapons and heavy artillery. Civilian police, in contrast, are meant to keep the peace and to protect local communities while safeguarding civil liberties. Regrettably, and to a dangerous degree, those lines are blurring'.
While this article written by MILITARY ACADEMY clearly states our US military has NO PLACE in local civilian policing and security structures----which is indeed what is MOVING FORWARD in US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES-----this highlights problems at the US border ----not the only place military cannot supersede our local public police department.
Your MilitaryConstitutional questions emerge about expanding role of troops on US soil
By: Tara Copp and Aaron Mehta November 23, 2018
Mattis to reporters: no lethal force at border, troops to aid if migrants 'beatin' on' border patrol
Hear Defense Secretary James Mattis tell reporters in a huddle that, though the Trump administration has expanded troops power to include lethal force at the border, there are so far no armed soldiers deployed there. "We don't have guns in their hands right now," Mattis said. A new White House directive authorizing U.S. troops to engage in some law enforcement activities on American soil, potentially including the lethal use of force, is being sharply questioned by security and legal experts, who are raising concerns about both its underlying legality and the way the White House issued the controversial order.
The new White House memo authorizes Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to order “Department of Defense military personnel” to “perform those military protective activities that the Secretary of Defense determines are reasonably necessary to ensure the protection of federal personnel, including a show or use of force (including lethal force, where necessary), crowd control, temporary detention and cursory search."
The memo also said: "Department of Defense personnel shall not, without further direction from the President, conduct traditional civilian law enforcement activities.”
Security and legal experts interviewed by Military Times questioned how the military could conduct what they said were clear law enforcement roles — especially detention and search — and not run afoul of the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, which explicitly prohibits active-duty military forces from conducting law enforcement activities inside the United States.
“It’s like being a ‘little bit’ pregnant. You can’t be. You can’t engage in law enforcement without engaging in law enforcement. Those are law enforcement functions as they have been defined for hundreds of years in the United States," said William Banks, author of “Soldiers on the Home Front: The Domestic Role of the American Military,” and the former director of the Institute for National Security and Counter-terrorism at the Syracuse University College of Law.
It has cost $72 million so far to deploy active-duty troops to the border, Pentagon saysThe price tag includes the costs of bringing troops home.
By: Tara CoppIn a break from how the president has authorized other military actions along the border, the new authorities were submitted to Mattis via a “Cabinet memo” signed by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly instead of a presidential Executive Order. President Donald Trump did sign a precursor to that Cabinet memo, an internal “decision memo” that was obtained and published by Newsweek.
In an interview with reporters Wednesday, Mattis again emphasized that the approximately 5,800 federal active-duty troops deployed to the border would not be armed, and said they would not conduct arrests or find themselves in a law enforcement role.
