Women Firefighters: The Gender Boondoggle
...quietly rolled back strict physical requirements, just like Manning, implementing a secret "no fail" policy to pass women who plainly could not heft chain saws up ladders or run with heavy hoses, or who had other physical deficiencies. In the almost entirely male yet multiracial force, firefighters were furious that academy rejects were getting through, and many questioned whether Bamattre was jeopardizing firefighters and the public.

Foward gets it, sort of. Why not raise the required scores for all people if you are looking for the best people, not just leave the scores where they are?
If you don’t like under-qualified cops, just wait til Obamacare is implemented. Those under-qualified doctors have to work somewhere.
“The NAACP does not support individuals failing a test and then having the opportunity to be gainfully employed. If you lower the score for any group of people, you’re not getting the best qualified people for the job.”
Wow. Good for him. I can’t believe that I just read that but wow. He actually disagrees with lowering standards.
this has been going on here in the northeast for 30+ years...for police and fire departments...
tests are dumbed down for physical and intellectual requirements...
we are committing societal suicide...
Test scores lowered for blacks tell us the following:
*That blacks are too lazy to study as hard as other racial groups.
AND/OR
*That blacks are too stupid to compete.
The U.S. Department of Justice appears to be sending a racist message - or the above statements are true...

How long before cops arrive at a crime scene and the first thing they do is exchange fist bumps and gang signals with the perps. Why don’t they just give a badge to anyone that applies?
So many cops now are so stupid that they should never have access to a gun.Then you tell me the people in charge are dropping the standards even lower?
If one thinks about this objectively, following trends and patterns, this dumbing down of America has long been in action....look at how liberalism has dumb-downed our K12 education system, how they have been long attempting to dumb down our university/college education system, etc. The dumbing down of police recruitment exams then comes as no surprise. =.=
Serious question. Do the recruits not have to go through an Academy? Is the Academy also required to lower their standards for passing? Or can these “dummies” be rooted out at that point?
I know that for my current position, I must take a monthly test (closed book) and pass by 90%. If I cannot maintain that, I must go through recertification. If I can’t recertify, I’m gone.
Anyway, they SAY they want an even playing field, but that’s a bald-faced lie. They want everything handed to them on a silver platter and they cry to the courts when they can’t get their way. We suffer in every way imaginable.
What constitutional authority enables the DOJ do this?
