Do we need a global police force?

Why do we need state law enforcement authorities? National law enforcement authorities? Simple. Because crime isn't limited by artificial boundaries. The same is true of international boundaries and international crime of all sorts, including terrorism, is growing. Thus, I see no problem with increased cooperation between agencies and, if need be, an international law enforcement agency. However, that being said, I would not accept it unless it were bound by American standards of jurisprudence and legal rights. That's a deal breaker...

It's political Kabuki theater, it means nothing.

Link?

SrA Art Siatkowsky this is patently ridiculous. We have a national police force in the forms of DHS, FBI, US Marshal Service, etc... Their mandates are to enforce Federal Laws, Enforce the law on Federal Lands, and to act when a crime crosses states. I know that is overly simplified. What the Federal Law Enforcement agencies are not mandated to do is enforce state and local laws. Here in Florida, we are about to have an open carry law pass. New York has highly restrictive gun laws. It is the right of each state to govern itself. So unless a state requested the assistance of the Federal Government and the United Nations, it would not fly. Every state has quirky state, county, and local ordinances that would make a global police force trying to enforce laws on American Soil difficult at best. It would require that the US institute one Federal Law that governs all states, and replaces state laws. That would violate states rights. There would be an uprising on a national level if the Federal Government tried to do that. I don't think that the Federal Government would try that. Not because of any belief that they would see it as wrong, but because it would weaken their ability to line their pockets. If the US Constitution won't keep them in check, their greed will.

I thought the US already was that force?

SrA Art Siatkowsky The UN has no authority in the US. I don't know where you got that they are policing our home towns. But would it be good to have a global police force, that would be nice if they would be nice. There are just hings that the military can't do.
