Maryland U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein announced yesterday the start of a joint federal-local initiative designed to crack down on gun crimes in Prince George's County, where the vast majority of last year's record number of homicides were committed with firearms.Oh come on, Rod. The results will be predictable.
At a news conference at the U.S. District Courthouse in Greenbelt, Rosenstein said that under the program -- Prince George's EXILE -- federal and Prince George's law enforcement officials will collaborate more closely to identify and investigate violent offenders who use firearms, to crack down on illegal gun traffickers and to use the threat of tough federal sentencing laws to pressure defendants to plead guilty to gun crimes in state court...
The initiative went into effect this month, Rosenstein said. He said it was too early to measure the results.
Admit it. This is all about expanding your power, prestige and influence with federal grant money.
It is also about establishing a federal police force, as in police state.
