Getting their marching orders from their federal masters, apparently.

Police chiefs to discuss terrorism at White House.
The Obama administration is providing senior state and local police officials with its analysis of homegrown terrorism incidents, including common signs law enforcement can use to identify violent extremists.
The warning signs identified for police include someone joining a group advocating violence, receiving support from a network that plans attacks or seeking out charismatic leaders who encourage violence. The analysis was conducted by the Homeland Security Department, the FBI and the National Counterterrorism Center. An overview of the findings was shared with The Associated Press.
The conference Wednesday at the White House marks the first time this unclassified analysis will be presented to 46 senior federal, state and local law enforcement officials, many of whom are police chiefs and sheriffs. The conference will also include sessions on other programs the federal government has for countering violent extremism and a briefing from a deputy chief of the Los Angeles Police Department about what the city has done on this front.
"Engaging local communities is critical to our nation's effort to counter violent extremism and violent crime, and this meeting brings together many of our partners," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said. Napolitano, Attorney General Eric Holder and the president's counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, planned to attend the White House conference.
John Brennan. Huh. That name came up just the other day in a story I'm doing about the early days of the Gunwalker Conspiracy. And then there's this:
Analysts from the FBI, Homeland Security Department and National Counterterrorism Center reviewed 62 cases of homegrown violent extremists and found basic similarities. The cases included violent extremists who adhered to a mix of ideologies, including people who ascribed to white supremacist beliefs and people inspired by a violent interpretation of Islam. The analysis is not a psychological profile of a homegrown terrorist, but instead offers similarities among cases that could help local law enforcement better understand and detect threats.
In the 62 cases reviewed, the subjects increasingly spoke out against the government, blamed the government for perceived problems and did so in a way that caught the attention of other people in their communities, according to the senior counterterrorism official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private White House event. Subjects became active on the Internet to espouse extremist views. In some cases, the subjects purchased weapons, ammunition or explosive materials.
Huh. Must be thinking about that "blood-soaked novelist" again.

The insanity continues! I did notice that they kept the information very generalized rather than naming names like Ron Paul supporters, Bob Barr, Tea Party organizers, those who own guns, etc. The one I always loved that the Feds gave out for local Police to watch for was: A man and a woman driving down a street with two kids in back. I, honest to God, would like to meet the individual who came up with that one. I'd like to meet him/her to actually see if Darwin had anything right.

Thou shalt not speak out against thy masters.

For if thou doest,thou is surly a homegrown evil terrorist.

" ... many of whom are police chiefs and sheriffs."

The same bunch of clueless asshats who backed Holder during his last congressional hearing appearance?

The same-ol'-same-ol' that we've heard several times before from the "guardians" of this administration.
Anyone who says "boo" against our erstwhile "masters" is on the suspect hit list.
All I have to say is MOLON LAABE.Come on, I'm feeling froggy. Put my name on your list. Along with 3/4 of the rest of the country.
I'm pissed (or can you tell?).

"Police chiefs to discuss terrorism at White House." Correct, the White House is the chief source of terrorism, both foreign and domestic.

RE: "_____ community".

No. Shutup. You're either a fucking American or you aren't. You don't get the luxury of dividing yourself up into a protected community based on anything simply because the politics of this country allow it, let alone basing this "community" on a hate-filled, fundamentally un-American, and objectively wrong and evil "religion" like islam.

John Brennan is another operative with his hands dirty in the Zero regime from the very beginning, ex-CIA who advised and contributed donations to Zero campaign, then awarded position in the White Hut.

His firm probed and scrubbed Zero's passport application file, (why would that be, since he's obviously "born in Hawaii" LOLOL) and allowed State Dept security restrictions to be lowered:
