Do we really need to rebuild it? Do we really need an FBI? Won’t we just have the same problems a few years from now?

In my opinion, we should not have a national police force until the communist rot present in all of our national institutions has been thoroughly flushed out and kept clean for at least a generation. Then, we can maybe see about building a new FBI.

We were just fine with the Marshals for, what? Over a century? Nope, we don't need no FBI.

The FBI was created to deal with corruption and the mob via unscrupulous methods and previously illegal surveillance by granting them a Jurisdiction "above" the states. Then they were taken over by the mafia and started using those very same methods to control the corruption for their own gain.

Correct. All the FBI does is find disillusioned people, radicalize them, hand them a bomb, then arrest them just before they detonate it in times square.

No FBI, no CIA, no ATF. no DEA, no public sector unions. One step back; enforce a public airwaves Doctrine like we used to when I took two years of Journalism because that's where the hot girls where. Circa 1984; no one corporation or individual could own more than two broadcasting companies in one market, local paper, media broadcast: they get no more than two and if they try to skirt the Law then they get the Randolph Hearst treatment. If I wanted to take the time I could; in ten minutes or so, show us all the roughly three hundred reprobates who assume they call the shots. This isn't a shocker to anyone reading this comment. The shocker is yet to come. We did not start this. We did not yearn to live through 'Interesting Times' None of us instigated what is coming. Our Rulers will not let us be; sucks to be them I reckon.

Yes, we do actually.

Local precincts have proven they are influenced by local affairs: mobs, mafia, cartel, and foreign governments.

FBI is also supposed to be a centralized law enforcement link with the military and CIA, meaning capturing terrorists and other criminal elements. Not possible when trying to coordinate 800 different precincts in 5 states alone.

FBI is also able to work with foreign governments for criminal prosecution, criminal attainment/detainment, and US citizen rescue/extradition.

FBI also has a hand with working with different agencies fighting against large criminal organizations your local PD is not equipped to fight. I know this because of work done with fighting human trafficking and child rape organizations.

FBI is corrupt, as proven by J Edgar Hoover. But a far reaching entity needs to exist for purposes outside the wheelhouse of any local police force.

Do you really trust 70s NYPD to not be intimidated or corrupted by local mafia? Or El Paso PD to not be intimidated by billionaire cartel groups?

Extinguish and rename for all I care, have better oversight, but we do need federal law enforcement for good reasons.

The above is what state police are for, and if those are corrupt, then the military aided by US individual citizens. Technology is very different today than in the past and there is no need for half the federal agencies that exist including the FBI. Government, and especially centralized government is a necessary evil, it is a risky vaccine that cures just enough more than it kills. That is where we must restart and be severely skeptical of any exigency that seems to require more. Without excess central government, we could simply laugh off the Chinese and our other enemies, with it, we are on the precipice of losing our way of life.

Negative. Read any book that details the first few months of the afghanistan invasion or the hunt for UBL. Without dedicated communication between entities (military branches, via, etc), there were numberous occasions where we let valuable targets slip through our hands. We could've had Bin Laden months into the invasion, if not years before. There is a purpose for centralized governmental entities.

But I do not disagree with giving states more power and sovereignty.

Did Bin Laden set all the charges to bring down tower 7?

I'm fine with whatever. Let's agree we can iron out the details once we flush out those bag of dick eaters.
