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.
Need we ask, of those passing the exam, who are more equal? I think the answer is obvious, and the hiring will of course reflect the same.
Doesn’t Costa Rica sound good?
Whenever I see this kind of race hustle I have to wonder if the white populations of the effected parasite nests (”cities”) scratch their heads and ask themselves why they vote Democrat. Don’t get me wrong - - I am well aware there are IQ issues involved - - but still, at least a few of them must finally, begrudgingly, pull their heads out of their behinds, don’t you think?
Tea Party Action Item: By God, if I’m paying salaries for first-responder people via taxes, I have every right to expect top-of-the-class people doing the job, not political hires who are incapable of passing a basic job-knowledge exam, thank you all the same.
I am suprised the Dayton Daily News is still with us. It seems like it is way too much of a common sense newspaper for Montgomery County and the surrounding area.
Back in 1984, I was a Correction Officer in New York State’s Dept. of Corrections. That year I took a promotional exam for Sergeant, which I passed with a 92%. Because there weren’t enough blacks or hispanics in supervisory positions, they gave them extra points to boost their scores, and of course many of them were promoted over those of us who hadn’t been given the points. It took the State 4 1/2 years to reach me for promotion because of this. I retired in 2003 from the job, and have always wondered, if the extra points hadn’t been given, when I would have actually been promoted, and how much money and seniority I lost because of it.
Damn if ya don't pass the test ya FAIL and should not get the job.
Yep, just lower standards and you get what you asked for. Wonder what the citizens have to say?
"Control, this is one-bravo-one, I need 10-28 on a plate."
"One-bravo-one, control. I don't have cash with me."
This action supports racism and stupidism.
But then it is by his Lordship AG Holder to keep the Law
and Rules special for “his people” above all others.
If they CAN’T pass the exam, then they have no right to be cops.
So these are the Best and Brightest hunh?
People might want to start rethinking that 911 call before they pick up the phone.
“City agrees to lower test scores for police exam”
This is why patriots must work hard to elect constitutional sheriffs, and muster a 2,000 man volunteer deputy auxiliary force for “emergencies.”
When the fat, over paid “cops,” who work for big city Marxists, cross into your county, you have a legal and persuasive way to order them back to their liberal hellholes.
The only proper peace officer for a free people is an elected sheriff who is accountable to the people.
This guy, however, gets it:
"Zachary Williams is a 21-year-old black Wayne High School grad who wants nothing more than to be a Dayton police officer or firefighter."
He’s one of 225 black applicants who took the November police entrance exam now at the center of a dispute between the city and the U.S. Department of Justice....
Williams said he understands what the Justice Department is trying to accomplish, but he thinks it’s the wrong method and it’s keeping him from achieving his dream.
“You can’t blame the city for the lack of diversity,” Williams said. “This isn’t your normal 9 to 5 job and you have to want it. I don’t want to be in a department where I was hired because of my skin color. I want it because I earned it.”
Black applicant protests lowering police entrance exam scores
That's what the current anti-union purge is all about. Limbo lower in pay and standards. Maybe cheaper job outsourcing next.
Way to go .. the safety of Dayton citizens now depends on the luck of the draw for their lives and safety .. no matter basic COMPETENCY for the job!
“The city lowered both written exams a combined 15 points that resulted in 258 more people passing the exam, according to a statement released Thursday by Civil Service officials. The agreement allows the city to immediately resume its plans to hire police and firefighters.”
The Administration of Intimidation and Redistribution .. nothing but.
Obamacare, huge deficits,the destruction of the currency,lowering standards at every level from education to police to whatever. I could go on but everyone here gets it.
It's all the regimes attack on America and liberal minions at lower levels chiming in whenever,whereever they have the power to do so.
