DAYTON -- The Dayton Police Department is lowering its testing standards for recruits.
It's a move required by the U.S. Department of Justice after it says not enough African-Americans passed the exam.
Dayton is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees. The hiring process was postponed for months because the D.O.J. rejected the original scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board, which administers the test.
Under the previous requirements, candidates had to get a 66% on part one of the exam and a 72% on part two.
The D.O.J. approved new scoring policy only requires potential police officers to get a 58% and a 63%. That's the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’....
The D.O.J. has forced other police departments across the country to lower testing standards, citing once again that not enough black candidates were passing.

I don't think it is a question of understanding, but one of 'getting over on the man'.
Only the people who have worked hard and done well (some of them black) will understand the insult.
Exactly, ruin their mom’s on welfare, raise them without fathers, lie to them about government education and then hire them as cops.
Liberalism is the philosophy of destruction.
At my HS 93%+ = A; 85%+ = B; 78%+ = C; and 71%+ = D anything below 71% was considered failing.
The test was already set to essential failure. Can you imagine a waitress providing food service at a “C” level?
They want cops to be that stupid?
