Justice Dept mandates 'implicit bias' training for agents, lawyers By Julia Edwards

WASHINGTON The U.S. Justice Department announced on Monday that more than 33,000 federal agents and prosecutors will receive training aimed at preventing unconscious bias from influencing their law enforcement decisions.

The training will bring Justice Department employees in line with many local police departments across the country that have implemented bias prevention plans following a spate of shootings of unarmed black men by white police officers.

Nationwide protests following those shootings blamed police bias for unnecessary use of force against minorities.

The department had been criticized for not developing its own policies to combat bias after recommending local police do so at the direction of a task force created by President Barack Obama after riots in 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri.

In a memo to Justice Department employees, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said the program targets "implicit biases" - subtle, unconscious stereotypes or characterizations nearly everyone makes about certain groups of people.

I have an ‘implicit bias’ against Eskimo’s. Which makes me Eskimophobic.

Hence the daily feminist articles, regular diversity cheerleading articles.

I googled and found evidently that is so. They want nothing to do with ethics especially by a Texas judge. What a crock! I guess they know they can’t make contempt charges sstick.

Before long the only federal violations deemed worthy of prosecution will be thought crimes (OK, maybe better throw in environmental no-nos too).

DOJ should have mandatory classes on the “implicit bias” they promote against white people, veterans, ranchers, small business people, successful black people who are conservatives, legal immigrants of all kinds, law enforcement officers, esp. Border Patrol agents, Christians in general, Jews by refusing to prosecute campus fascist thugs who attack pro-Israel people (Jewish and non-Jewish), BLM thugs who rob, riot and commit arson, and biased black prosecutors like Marilyn Mosby in Baltimore.

If I left out any one, please feel free to fill in the spaces.

So much bias on the Left. So little legal weapons to wage a crusade against them.

Wow! Between the bias classes, and the ethics classes that the federal judge ordered, the just-us department lawyers won't have any time to try cases!
