Does every single government agency have its own armed “police” force? I know Bill Clinton wanted a Federal Police Force with two Federal cops in every county in the US. That’s a huge increase in governmental manpower, weaponry, equipment, training, uniforms, vehicles, equipped offices, costing more money than one could count. Besides it being the largest expansion of government personnel since the wartime draft, it’s real aim was to effectively neuter local sheriffs’ departments, and increase Federal jurisdiction over local jurisdictions. I think it later got changed to two fed cops per state, as financially and logistically it was impossible, and, not to mention the shitstorm it would have caused with the states. But it shows what the “haves” have wet dreams about.
