Do we really want a nationwide federal police force accountable solely to a small number of legislators, not subject to FOIA and other citizen protections applicable to the executive branch? The Acting Chief of the U.S. Capitol Police has recently announced the expansion of their federal force into Florida and California.
Just last June, House Democrats voted to pass H.R. 7120, an attempt to nationalize state and local police departments across the entire country, disguised as legislation for defunding the police.
Is it hypocritical that the same lawmakers who have been calling for a total overhaul of law enforcement since the death of George Floyd in police custody last May, now want their personal police force expanded nationwide? Absolutely, but that's never stopped a politician before.
I asked Tayler Hansen, who was present when Capitol Police open fired and struck Ashli Babbitt, his thoughts on nationalizing the perpetrators.
"The Capitol Police Force opening field offices in California and Florida is a tragedy. They have already done so much to ruin ordinary Americans' lives, but it seems they've only gotten started. I pray for the residents of these states, hopefully they don't meet the same ends as Ashli Babbitt and others did on January 6th.".
In May, the House increased USCP funding by over 350% when they passed a $1.9 billion Capitol Police budget - that breaks down to $3.5 million per Congress member.
I almost pity them and their inability to recognize the redefined role of the federal forces, like legislators granting themselves the broad powers to be their own judicial review via a nationalized Capitol Police force.
