National Night Out returned to Morris County for its 14th year on Tuesday, filling Mennen Arena in Morris Township with displays and activities meant to foster goodwill between law enforcement and the community.
Our thanks to Pamela Babcock for capturing some of the excitement.
The Bernardsville Chapter of The John Birch Society would like to thank the Morris County Park Police and the Morris County Park Commission for hosting Morris County’s fourteenth annual National Night Out event, which took place at the Mennen Sports Arena in Morris Township on Tuesday, August 2nd from 5-9 p.m.
While manning an information table at the event, members of The John Birch Society distributed to their fellow Americans a DVD titled, “What’s Happening to Our Police?” The DVD highlights a fact that, apparently, most people are completely unaware of. That fact is that, since 1994, an office of the U.S. Department of Justice has spent more than $14 billion in order to, according to the Department of Justice’s website, “help advance community policing.” The very existence of that office, which has been cleverly named the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), is unconstitutional (and therefore illegal) because there is no authorization anywhere in the U.S. Constitution for the spending of a single penny to “help advance community policing.”
If there were an attempt on the part of the Department of Justice to bring about the emergence of a single national police force for the entire nation, such an attempt would be successful only if communities all across America surrendered control over their local police forces to Washington, D.C. If the COPS office is not abolished, the more than $14 billion spent by it will unfortunately lead to that surrender of control because, as is invariably the case, “he who pays the piper calls the tune.”
