I look forward to the day Eric Holder gets a little of what he is dishing out

Sad part is, one day one of these “affirmative action” candidates is going to get killed because she couldn’t perform her job. And in the process she is going to get her partner killed also.

Then what happens?

[bravo whiskey]

political correctness kills almost as many people as stupidity. unfortunately stupidity doesn’t kill enough.

[scbison]

Worse than her getting killed, something body else,(ie her partner) may get killed because she can’t physically do the job.

Lawyers sue the PD and the City for wrongful death.

Only for states that forbid you to protect yourself. Where I live in the US it would take a deputy forty-five minutes to get to our house, if he’s not busy elsewhere. As pappy sez: “We don’ need no steenkin’ cops”

[HereInTheHeartland]

Murders should get the DOJ to sue PD’s everywhere on their behalf.

Laws against murder discriminate against killers.

I believe this has been going on for years but usually with other plaintiffs. The military lowered their physical standards years ago to accommodate women. However there are consequences which can be fatal.

girls don't need to be physically able to pass the test cause they carry a gun, right???

To discriminate is good

in the old days everyone discriminated daily.

In the store you discriminate against rotten food, you discriminate against overpriced items.

In employment you discriminate and don’t hire the sloppy or dirty ones.

To discriminate is as old as time and is good and natural

[biggredd1]

is there a test for crossdressers.

[elkfersupper]

Fine.

Let me have a chick that wants to arrest me for anything.

The trouble is, for every chick hired, 3 burly dudes need to be hired to back her up.

[xone]

Those gals would make it in the Rangers though.

[lastchance]

Basketball discriminates against short people.
Track and Field discriminates against slow people.
Airlines don’t hire blind pilots.
Bomb squads don’t hire those with hand tremors.
Medical school requires you know chemistry.
Math requires a correct answer.

To the useless hunks of whining protoplasm I write, “Get over yourself you dumb hags.”

Men must run 2000 yards in four minutes.Women should be able to get by with a 10 minute stroll of 200 yards.

[Cyber Liberty]

They have to be able to shoot a dog or a disabled vet without having the gun recoil into their faces. It’s just good sense.

Before I retired from the Air Force at the age of 44, I had to run 1.5 miles faster than an 18 year old girl to meet standards.

Would someone please explain this to me?
