  Vice President Biden, Attorney General Holder Announce Recovery Act Funding to Support Law Enforcement

    Recovery Act Funds to Add Police Officers to the Streets; Build Safer Communities

    Vice President Joe Biden and Attorney General Eric Holder today announced $1 billion in grants to fund the hiring and rehiring of law enforcement officers all across the country under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The grants will be awarded to 1,046 law enforcement agencies from all 50 states and will provide 100 percent of the approved salary and benefits for 4,699 officers for three years. Police departments receiving the grants will then be required to retain the grant-funded positions for a fourth year.

I thought everybody getting together for a beer was going to smooth this whole thing over ???

Additional comments from the article:

"Sure, the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed McCain for President, but with Obama’s recent P.R. disaster with the police (and much of America for that matter), it might not be too early to start using taxpayer money to try and buy not only forgiveness, but also a 2012 endorsement."

That's funny, I thought local law enforcement was a local issue, not a federal one. where are the good old conservative republicans on this one?

Slick Willy Clinton's promise of 100,000 "new" cops on the streets never panned out either......

It's all a game, and one day that crap won't wipe off their face so easily.....

It was never meant to, it was a BS Photo op to look good.
