Does the president of the U.S. have control over ALL the police in the U.S. ???

[SamKnause]

Do the police work for the federal government ???

If not, what control does he have over sheriffs, state police, county police etc. ???

I did a quick search and the information was confusing.

I know he has control over the FBI, DEA, CIA etc.

I don't see how he could have control over sheriffs, state police, county police etc.

1. No. He has no control over state or local law enforcement.

As usual he's just blowing it out his fat orange ass.

Only if they are part of his "base" and following his tweet-storm of shit.
