Its not going to look like that. Its not going be something where every local law enforcement agency in the country suddenly finds itself disbanded and replaced by a federal law enforcement agency.
Liberals are more crafty and manipulative than that.
It will take the form of grants and initiatives. Feds say "Hey, we'll give you $1.2 million for a pilot program to do this or that"
Fill in the blank with whatever you please - body cams, cooperation between vice and FBI field offices to combat so-called "sex trafficking, you name it.
And the more money the feds pour into local LE, who are often budget strapped, the more shots they call. Its how the drinking age was raised in this country. Its how the federal gov't shapes policy on a broad spectrum of issues at local levels.
Attach a purse string, tell the local yokels what to do, and once they've poured in enough money, the local yokels find themselves too dependent on the Federal tit to say no to whatever the feds demand for the next installment of fun money.
If the federal gov't is pulling the strings of your local law enforcement agency, (and they already do), is that really any different from a federal police agency? Not really, and if you haven't noticed, that IS the road we are headed down.
