Prelude To Detroit: Trump Launches Operation Legend - DHS Goes To Chicago After Mass Shooting At Funeral Of Another Mass Shooting

Contrary to what local mayors and governors bemoan as an encroachment upon their sovereign powers to govern, the purpose of the government is to protect its most precious treasures, the heirs of perpetuity, or, more intuitively recognized as children.

When children are beaten, drugged, raped, tortured, lab ratted, and murdered by gun violence, you have a breach of the fiduciary duty, to protect the posterity of the children's trust, in a blatant breach of oath to the public and private office held, where the parental right to keep and bear the arms of that body corpus can be terminated.

 DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services.

In the DeShaney v. Winnebago County, SCOTUS rendered its decision to the question:

Does a state's failure to protect an individual against private violence constitute a violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment?

"No. The Due Process Clause does not impose a special duty on the State to provide services to the public for protection against private actors if the State did not create those harms. "The Clause is phrased as a limitation on the State's power to act, not as a guarantee of certain minimal levels of safety and security; while it forbids the State itself to deprive individuals of life, liberty, and property without due process of law, its language cannot fairly be read to impose an affirmative obligation on the State to ensure that those interests do not come to harm through other means."

The Rehnquist Court demonstrated a severe lack of awareness in the parens patriae doctrine in DeShaney v. Winnebago County , because, that defendant did in fact violate the Due Process clause to protect the child, as child protection had been placed under Trade and Commerce Law back in 1976, federally funded by CAPTA in 1974, solidifying the basis of the initial argument that it was the inherent right of the state to protect its heir in perpetuity. Therefore, the state violated federal anti-commerce law and the due process contained within of 15 U.S.C. 15 (c), obfuscated within child welfare policies.

Attorney General William P. Barr Announces Launch of Operation Legend

 June 29th in Kansas City, MO

Today, Attorney General William P. Barr announced the launch of Operation Legend, a sustained, systematic and coordinated law enforcement initiative across all federal law enforcement agencies working in conjunction with state and local law enforcement officials to fight the sudden surge of violent crime, beginning in Kansas City, MO.  Operation Legend was created as a result of President Trump’s promise to assist America’s cities that are plagued by recent violence.

Operation Legend is named after four-year-old LeGend Taliferro, who was shot and killed while he slept early in the morning of June 29 in Kansas City, the latest in a string violence to plague Kansas City in recent weeks.  Kansas City has already reached 100 homicides this year, a 40 percent increase from last year.

“President Trump has made clear: the federal government stands ready and willing to assist any of our state and local law enforcement partners across the nation responding to violent crime.  Operation Legend will combine federal and local resources to combat the disturbing uptick in violence by surging federal agents and other federal assets into cities like Kansas City, a city currently experiencing its worst homicide rate in its history,” said Attorney General Barr.  “The Department’s Operation Legend is named in honor of one of Kansas City’s youngest victims, four-year old LeGend Taliferro who was shot in the face while sleeping in his bed.  LeGend’s death is a horrifying reminder that violent crime left unchecked is a threat to us all and cannot be allowed to continue.”

As part of Operation Legend, Attorney General Barr directed federal agents from the FBI, U.S. Marshal Service, DEA and ATF to surge resources to Kansas City in the coming weeks to help state and local officials fight the surge of violent crime.  They will be working alongside state and local law enforcement agencies. Department of Justice assets will include over 100 FBI agents, U.S. Marshals, DEA agents, and ATF agents.

In addition, Timothy A. Garrison, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri will be surging additional resources from his office to ensure he is able to handle an anticipated increase in prosecutions.

Even Police Have Voting Rights: Chicago police union announce no confidence vote on Smollett prosecutor Kim Foxx

This is what democracy looks like, a journey back to the public square, the first step of due process.

Police have powers of the vote, to transfer their voices, to bear witness to the public, by bearing their arms of the Fraternal Order of Police.

This is just getting started.

Suburban police chiefs, FOP give Kim Foxx no-confidence vote in latest fallout over Jussie Smollett case

A group of suburban police chiefs joined with the Chicago Fraternal Order of Policeto give Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx a vote of no confidence Thursday in the latest fallout over her office’s abrupt dismissal of charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.

FOP President Kevin Graham and some 30 suburban police leaders from across Cook County took it a step further at a news conference, calling on Foxx to resign from her elected office.

“People standing around me can give you countless examples of how Ms. Foxx’s lack of prosecution has cost our members and police officers … an enormous amount of problems,” Graham told reporters. “Not to mention the fact that the people in Cook County are depending on prosecutors to put people in jail and charge them accordingly.”

Foxx’s office issued a brief statement on her behalf that defended her record and hinted that she would not resign and planned to seek re-election.

“I was elected by the people of Cook County to pursue community safety, prevent harm, and uphold the values of fairness and equal justice,” Foxx said in the statement. “I’m proud of my record in doing that, and I plan to do so through the end of my term and, if the people so will it, into the future.”

At the news conference at FOP headquarters, Jack Touhy, president of the South Suburban Chiefs of Police Association, said it was “pretty unheard of” for the north, west and south suburban police associations to join “so tightly” together on one issue.

Steve Stelter, first vice president of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police who also serves as police chief in west suburban Westchester, said Foxx has let down Cook County residents, suggesting she has not fulfilled campaign promises, including “rebuilding public trust, promoting transparency, (being) proactive in the safety of our communities.”

A letter from the North Suburban Association of Chiefs of Police cited the Smollett case but attacked Foxx on a broader front for what it alleged was her office’s failures to more generally “hold offenders accountable.”

“It appears your strategy to address non-violent crime in Cook County is to decriminalize or ignore it, regardless of any collateral cost which is born overwhelmingly by individual communities and their police agencies,” said the letter from the group representing more than 30 police departments in the north and northwest suburbs.

Foxx has faced a firestorm of criticism after her office dismissed a 16-count felony indictment against Smollett without the actor acknowledging guilt during an unannounced court hearing last week.

Smollett, who was accused of staging a racist and homophobic attack on himself in downtown Chicago, did a victory lap, claiming he was wrongfully accused all along and saying the city of Chicago owed him an apology.

Kim Foxx: I welcome an outside review of how we handled the Jussie Smollett case »

With Foxx stumbling over her handling of the Smollett case, the police chiefs — and others — are clearly seizing on an opportunity.

The clash with police chiefs who favor a tougher stance on nonviolent crime is not surprising since the African-American state’s attorney won election in 2016 as a reform candidate, unseating incumbent Anita Alvarez in the Democratic primary with promises of sweeping change.

Her office has backed reform of the cash bond system to ensure nonviolent detainees who can’t post small amounts of money don’t languish in jail, moved to deprioritize certain nonviolent crimes such as shoplifting and halted prosecutions of people accused of driving on licenses that have been suspended or revoked for financial reasons — such as failure to pay child support, tolls or parking tickets.

In its letter to Foxx addressed Monday, the north suburban chiefs group criticized the policy changes on shoplifting and traffic offenses as well as the office’s more recent decision not to prosecute marijuana cases.

“These decisions add to the continuing resource burden on police agencies,” said the letter, written by Duane Mellema, the group’s president and the deputy police chief of Park Ridge. “We continue, as we are required, to investigate and make arrests for these offenses for which accountability and deterrence are greatly diminished.”

The letter went on to suggest that Foxx’s policies are affecting officers’ ability “to reduce and deter criminal activities.”

“The fact that you and your staff have made these decisions without consultation with our departments undermines any statement you have made that the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office is working with us to maintain safe, crime free communities.”

Mellema called the Smollett case “the latest and most egregious example” of Foxx failing to hold criminals accountable for their actions.

Chicago police “diverted significant resources, and a substantial portion of a limited overtime budget to build this case with your staff,” he wrote. “To have the charges dismissed with no explanation and a sealed court file shows a lack of respect for the professionals you work with.”

The letter also criticized the felony review process — when assistant state’s attorneys work with police to decide whether charges should be brought — under Foxx, saying prosecutors often give “contradictory guidance” to suburban police departments and are often not responsive to their questions.

As a result, the letter said, “Our officers must explain your decisions not to prosecute to our local victims.”

Smollett, who is African-American and openly gay, has said he was walking from a Subway sandwich shop to this apartment in the 300 block of East North Water Street about 2 a.m. Jan. 29 when two men wearing masks attacked him, shouted racial and homophobic slurs and placed a noose around his neck.

Chicago police initially began a hate crime investigation but eventually said their investigation showed Smollett, 36, staged the attack.

Sick Teen Ordered Into Foster Care Defends Mom on Facebook

Your tax dollars at work.

Just a note: Cook County, Illinois has the highest rate of removals on the state.

This is how to reduce medical costs and keep foster care system staff employed.

Michelle Rider took her 16-year-old son, Isaiah, to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago after doctors in three other cities were unable to effectively treat his neurofibromatosis -- a painful condition that causes tumors to grow on his nerves.

But Lurie officials -- citing Michelle Rider's requests for stronger medications -- told a Cook County Court that it was best that Isaiah be taken into temporary protective custody, saying the boy's symptoms appeared to improve when his mother was not around.

"She didn't do anything wrong at all. She's been there since day one," Isaiah Rider said in the video.

"They told me I wasn't able to see my mother and I was shocked, I was shocked by it."

Michelle Rider appeared in Cook County Juvenile Court Tuesday in an effort to regain custody of her son, but a decision on his status has not been made. She has not been charged with any wrongdoing in the case and the hearing will be continued July 2.

"I feel they took me away from my mom and now I'm living here in foster care with some person I barely know," Isaiah said in the video.

Hospital officials have said they cannot comment on the case because of privacy concerns.
