When liberals see an inequity or an inequality, what do they do?

They do not seek to elevate those at the lower end; they seek to take those at the top, bring them down and punish them.

[Farmer Dean]

This reminds me of a line from the movie 1941.
“Oh my God,they gave him a gun!”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Punish the innocent, reward the guilty.

They are taking a really good approach here ...

... if you really want to **** up society.

And they do.

What is the point of having an exam?

Lower the bar and people will eventually reach it.

Seems like a good reason to avoid Dayton for a vacation stop over.

“The utopian schemes of leveling and a community of goods, are as visionary and impractical as those which vest all property in the crown. These ideas are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government unconstitutional.”
— Samuel Adams

“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
— James Madison

So, is there not a video of a little white boy screaming, “That’s racist!”?

Not surprising from a place where they had layoff 11 police officers two years ago.

It is incredible how public safety doesn’t even enter the discussion; I was watching an interview with a black fireman candidate who had his results tossed along with the other (mostly-white) candidates who were at the top with him. He was understandably upset; he was treated like the “white devils” because he had studied and done very well, and now wouldn’t be hired because the list was tossed.

The soft bigotry of lowered expectations; I was in a precinct in Newark NJ and couldn’t believe the size of the fat asses on the female (all minority) officers. They would never apprehend anyone; in fact, they probably never left the building. I’d like to think that dead wood was among the many laid off by Newark’s mayor; those cuts would impact minorities worst because those jobs were closed to whites in the surrounding suburbs (due to residency requirements). At the same time, those suburbs had to open THEIR exams to Newark residents as part of an NAACP lawsuit settlement.

I like watching Newark crumble from a safe distance...the suburbs are filled with people whose parents were chased out of there after the riots.

Miami did this some years back - hired a bunch of police officers in a hurry to get grant money or some such thing... it was a disaster. Lower standards means more problems... lots more.

[oldbrowser]

Great, so now they have a bunch of illiterate with guns roaming the streets.

[BigCinBigD]

Maybe they’ll do a TV show! Police Morons of Dayton...

[FunkyZero]

hmph.
I just don't even know what to say anymore...

So, the department needed to replace “dozens of retirees”, dozens, say that might be 50 or so and they had 490 applicants that passed the exam under the original scoring conditions - that's probably 1 hire for each 10 passing applicants. But justice forced them to dumb down the grades so that 1 in 15 were eligible???

What's happening to our proud country??

"Hey! Let's have dumber cops!"

[Hoodat]

So when they dumb it down far enough where everyone passes, what will they then use as a criteria for hiring? Skin color?

A message regarding the new Civil Service exams.

To all individuals of Caucasian descent:

How can you be so racially insensitive as to score higher than people of color?

Don't you know that the racially sensitive thing to do would be to answer several questions incorrectly to lower your score?

That is why from this day forward, any Caucasian scoring over a 90% on the exam will be automatically disqualified for demonstrating racial insensitivity, a quality we will not tolerate in the civil service.
