I wonder what the state of pennsylvania did to piss off obama.
They’ll get the standards to where Michael Moore will pass.
I remember a truck driver was carjacked in PA and driven into NJ (by Newark airport), where he was killed. The perps, who were caught shortly afterwards, had disarmed a female cop in PA and stolen her car. Upon crashing it, they carjacked the truck when the unsuspecting trucker pulled over to assist what he thought was a cop who had been in an accident.
Nowadays there is enough footage of female cops getting knocked out with one punch to justify real physical standards...
Obviously, both Obama and Holder are partial to the spirit of affirmative action, where a selection process for a small group established for a specific purpose/responsibility is not made on merit or ability but on some extraneous aspect of gender, race, sexual orientation, etc.
Next, the DOJ will sue the NBA for not allowing short people to play. That’s discrimination, y’know.
“Saying that the physical fitness tests that the Pennsylvania state police uses to identify entry-level candidates are not job-related,”
Nowhere in the article does it state HOW or why the various physical requirements are not job related. Running, jumping and being physically fit ARE job related. I note that physical strength is not mentioned as a requirement obviously because it would eliminate 90% of women candidates. Isnt strength important to cops?
In reality this has nothing to do with job related requirements, it is just a way to get more jobs for minorities and women at the expense of actually qualified white men. BTW isnt it interesting that to do that always requires that standards always have to be LOWERED?
Discrimination? So when are they going to sue baseball and football teams for not allowing women to play?
State Police - as all police - should have standards that make it HARD to get in - and continue to push for PT standards so cops relive stress through workout...
Doctor tests make it to hard for avarage peeple to be doctors.
Doctor tests are not fare.

The graduation standards go up. These are just for entry.
Orwell would be proud. Now being fit is illegal and unfit is more legal, because somehow choosing someone on personal preferences and not qualifications is not racist.
this is the gay orwellian feminist movement of incompetence for you.
Standards are so yesterday.
Must have equal results nowadays not just equal opportunity
