Congressman Cleaver Pushes for Body Camera and Community Policing Funding

Today, Congressman Cleaver sent a letter to President Obama supporting the inclusion of body cameras and community policing in the upcoming President’s Budget Proposal for Fiscal Year 2016.

“The tragic events that unfolded in Ferguson, Missouri should not be repeated,” said Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II. “We can work to do this by giving our local police officers the best tools and training available to protect and serve our communities. This funding would be a great step to increase transparency and accountability for both law enforcement, and also the public. Make no mistake, to help communities pay for the cameras, the federal government should step up and support the effort.”

These tools would be funded under the Department of Justice's Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program for the Fiscal Year 2016 budget. The letter is available here.

On December 11, 2014, Congressman Cleaver introduced H.R. 5865, the Camera Authorization and Maintenance Act or CAM Act, to encourage the use of body cameras by law enforcement agencies across the country. The bill will soon be reintroduced in the 114th Congress.

  7. Here's how to heal this rift. Let the police fire free blunts and swisher sweets at the trouble makers and hooligans. They will be more willing to disperse and go home then.

  16. It's worth noting that the principal reason for the emergence of a police state here in the U.S. Is the welfare state. You really cannot have your cake without a little brutality to keep things in order. So Manny... keep that in mind when giving away the store.

  17. What does Finn, Glazer, Bones, and Alonzo think?

  18. As someone who has read the real Grand Jury testimony, I must have missed the evidence that Darren Wilson plotted “after deliberation upon the matter” to kill Michael Brown as required by Missouri law.

  19. Good for him.

  20. Needs to appease and comfort his I can't breath voter base.

  22. A Letter? What a crock of PR bullshit. Cleaver sit in the U.S. Congress where bills are written. If he really believe his own bullshit then why the hell didn't he write a bill? What an ass clown.

    ReplyDelete
  23. ...and before you jump my ass telling me how he did write a bill let me explain that his bill does not require body cams on police. It recommends that police wear them. Which means it ain't worth the paper it's written on.

  26. It’s Not a Conspiracy Theory —It’s a Fact!

    Students of biblical prophecy have long identified an end-time one-world government. Developments in the last hundred years have silenced those who disbelieved it. Various detailed plans for its accomplishment have surfaced over the years and current events have played out closely according to some of the plans.

    One such revelation involves a Dr. Richard Day, late professor of pediatrics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and a former director of Planned Parenthood, who spoke of the plans of “The Order” to a group of pediatricians in 1969. Dr. Lawrence Dunegan was in the audience and prepared an audio tape from his notes in the conference.

    Looking back, the plan's accurate prediction of recent developments is striking. Predictions included making abortion normal (spoken before Roe v Wade), sex education down to the youngest kids, encouraging homosexuality, limiting access to affordable health care and bringing down American preeminence in industry. Another objective was to destroy the normal family structure.

    However, one of the most interesting parts of the plan dealt with Christians and the Bible: “The old religions will have to go, especially Christianity... Then a new religion can be accepted for use all over the world. It will incorporate something from all of the old ones to make it more easy for people to accept, and feel at home. Most people won’t be too concerned with religion. They will realize that they don’t need it.

    “In order to do this, the Bible will be changed. It will be rewritten to fit the new religion. Gradually, key words will be replaced with new words having various shades of meaning. Then the meaning attached to the new word can be close to the old word and as time goes on, other shades of meaning of that word can be emphasized. And then gradually that word replaced with another word.”

    Dunegan explained, “...the idea is that everything in Scripture need not be rewritten, just key words replaced by other words. The variability in meaning attached to any word can be used as a tool to change the entire meaning of Scripture, and therefore make it acceptable to this new religion.”

    A classic example of this subtle change is the places in the New Testament where the word “saved” is changed to “being saved.” (See Luke 13:23, Acts 2:47, 1 Cor. 1:18, and 2 Cor. 2:15.) Over one billion Catholics are taught that to claim you are “saved” is the sin of presumption. You are “being saved” and “on the road to salvation” through regular attendance at a re-sacrifice of Christ (Mass), confession of sins to a man who “absolves” them, belief in a wafer-god and worship of a virgin (Mary) goddess.

    Do you see how this change shifts the meaning to fit the salvation-by-works heresy of Roman Catholicism? David W. Daniels details in his book, Why They Changed the Bible, how the modern Bibles are a product of over a century of effort to subtly bend the text toward a one-world Bible for a one-world religion. When Bible societies were first established in the early 1800s, ungodly society members succeeded in establishing polluted Greek and Hebrew texts as the foundational translation documents for not only English bibles, but all languages, both common and those used by organizations such as Wycliffe.

    His book also describes how the Jesuits were central in this effort. Their goal is to get the Apocrypha included in your Bible to support more of their pagan doctrines. We are very late in this process. The present Jesuit pope is even now pushing hard for unity toward the end-times one-world religion.

  27. Police turn off the camera, put a hurtin' on your ass!

  28. I was going to say "Saved" by Bob Dylan actually wasn't a bad album.

  29. Manny knows how to pander to his base, blame whitey, the police, the conservatives, etc. So you have any quotes or letters from the Rev. on all the toddlers being killed? Nothin? Crickets....

  30. I think Cleaver should wear a body cam so we can see what kind of work he is doing on our dime!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I agree. Put a camera on Cleaver.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

  33. So I guess all that hope and change didn't change shit over the past 6 years? Funny how Dem's are always against "the man" even when they are "the man"

  34. If Cleaver wasn't a NIGGER, he wouldn't have won one fucking race. He's a moron, who has traded on being black; however, he has done it well and is now a full fledged NIGGER.

  35. 7:25: Maybe the ACA will help pay for your meds.

  36. Here's what I think Cleaver can and will do to serve the black community

  37. Maybe preachers should have to wear body cameras! Then we would have seen the hooligan who supposedly spat on Carwash Cleaver. We'd see where Cleaver's money is going and why it's not going to pay his $1 million judgment against him. Maybe we'd know what REALLY went down with Pastor Michael Brooks and Tonia Titus. We could keep tabs on Bishop "Felonious" Tindall. And we could all grab our wallets and purses when we see Modest Miles walk our way.
