BALTIMORE —Long-shot presidential candidate Martin O'Malley on Friday proposed getting the federal government more involved in local policing practices.
In a speech in Florida O'Malley billed himself as the most experienced candidate in criminal justice reform.
O'Malley's policing practices when he was mayor in Baltimore are a source of criticism. He advocated zero-tolerance policing, which led to high numbers of arrests.
As a presidential candidate O'Malley is calling for a national standard on police use of force. He wants local governments to be required to comply. He also wants police misconduct investigations to be taken out of the hands of local prosecutors. And he wants to lower the bar for the Department of Justice to conduct civil rights investigations of death in-custody cases.

What an idiot. But have no fear Democrats will still vote for him. It was the ignorant Democrats that voted for him in Maryland, just like the ignorant Democrats voted for Obama.
Where has he been asleep at the wheel again? The FEDS usually do in the form of former Holder's DOJ. They implant themselves in all the high profile cases generally before being asked to.
If you think Hillary is a socialist...get a load of this guy. He is a modern day Stalin
Also sounds like he is trying to get his judge wife an upgrade in a job position.

The O'Malley's are a younger version of the Clintons.
And the Nazi's rise to power, with the Gestapo backing them up.
