City Forced To Lower Police Testing Standards Because Not Enough Blacks Passed

There's nothing new here. Nassau county had to dumb down its police exam years ago because not enough blacks were passing. This is going on all over the country.

but they are smart enough to become the president of the USA.

Really???? Obama went to Harvard Law school. You can bet your ass he didn't get their based his merit/academic qualifications. Affirmative Blacktion can even get unqualified morons elected president.

Because you know so much about getting into Harvard Law...

I'll grant that if we overlaid the normal distribution of blacks' intelligence (if that group could be definitively identified, it can't) over that of whites' (same problem) we'd find that that the medians are different--well nigh two centuries of repression will do that (hell, three minutes of putting a pillow over your face could do it. I speak generically, we're not going to be able to lower your IQ much). But on those graphs we'd also see wings, the outliers, and to the right, the higher intellects, like where Obama is, would be far, far beyond your own position. I can say this with confidence because if you understood statistics you would not make such unqualified claims as you did, above.

Maybe they should have put more questions about street drugs, gangs and breaking & entering on the test. :(

we need officers who know the street so this is a good idea :p

Yep, that's some kinda' stupid. Not quite as stupid as giving corporate criminals trillions of taxpayer dollars to blow at the Wall Street casino, AGAIN, but stupid none the less.

If Repression lowers the collective intelligence levels of ethnic groups like you say, you'd expect the Jewish people to be a bunch of low-IQ dumbasses by now. So I think your theory is flawed.
 
I'm going to shock everyone and say I don't have a problem with this. Actually I do have a problem with the Justice Department dictating local hiring practices, but I do see a real benefit to having at least a representative number of blacks on a police force. Who do you think is committing most of the crime? Who do you think understands what is going on in the 'hood better? Who is beter able to interact with these people?

I also find the objections of unions to be hypocritical at best. I know it's not the same union, but unionized tradespeople have long looked at union-protected jobs as some sort of family entitlement, kind of like a safe congressional seat. Anyway, how smart do you have to be to be a cop?

What frightens me is they do it for medical schools as well.

I wonder how much influence insuance liability has in hiring standards. Unqualified, physically and mentally candidates increases the risks of lawsuits and disability claims. Perhaps the insurance lobby plays a role in standards, this becomes a conflict between justice dept and legal liability.

I don't completely agree with this arguement via black on black racism.

The law is colorblind yet you are asking for sociological policing because black officers understand the black community. Everyone has sensitivity training. White people can be taught respect
