The Corpus Christi, Tex. Police Department has found itself on the business end of a civil rights lawsuit after the Justice Department concluded that a physical ability test used when considering job applications discriminates against women. As a condition for employment, new applicants must pass a physical ability test (PAT) involving: pullups, a 300-meter run, a 1.5 mile run, and sit-ups. Only 19 percent of female applicants passed this test between 2005 and 2009, compared to 63 percent of men, the DOJ complaint records. The Justice Department says that the test discriminates

Requiring Lawyers to pass the Bar discriminates against idiots.................wait! Forget I posted this.
Can the ladies pull a trigger and hit the target?
Raise your hand if you want a 5’1”, 90 lb. female coming to your rescue in a volatile situation. I didn’t think so.
How much strength does it really take to shoot a dog?! (snork, snork!)
Scary, alarmist talk. Male criminals (who, of course, vote Democrat) will only go up against male police officers and female criminals will occupy the female officers. Case closed.
Any questions?.....The word discriminate has been raped by the left.
Look, if you can't do what the job requires, you don't get the job...in any government or private sector.
Is this sooo hard to understand?
Let's qualify 105lb women to be firefighters, cops and Marines....what do you say???

This is good video of why women should not be in combat and are not capable of combat.

However, physical strength may be a different story.
” And in the process she is going to get her partner killed also.”
You have to learn to think like a liberal to understand that this is the part that makes it fair. Obama probably would give it a fancy name like “Critical Gender Theory”
Unless purses or shoes are on a sale on the way, then they'll never make the end line...
I'm gonna get it, ain't I?
Here is another video of why a weak female police officer is of little help and is actually detrimental in a physical conflict.

Oh for goodness sakes!!! Enough of this bleep already! If a girl can’t do a mans job, then she can’t do it, period, end of story.
He made men and women different. Those differences compliment each other. I sure as heck would NOT want some 115lb 5’3 woman fire fighter coming to “rescue” me from a burning building.
There are standardized tests for a reason. If you can’t pass it, then you FAIL and cannot move on. This goes for men as well.
Deal with it. I sure as heck could not, nor would not want to do such a thing. As a girl, if I really wanted to, I’d go for it.
If I failed (which I know I would), so be it. There are SO many other opportunities out there.
Why on earth do girls want to be guys anyway?
When they started to recruit women into the Charleston, WV police force, the add read “Amazon and butch women encouraged to apply”.

Also discriminates against paraplegics and quadriplegics.
This does not sound like a difficult physical fitness test for someone epected to defend their own lives and those of others. I’m surprised so many men failed it. Do they not know what this test constists of before they take it? Most likely they had plenty of time to get in shape.
Sounds to me like perhaps those taking it are simply a bit too lazy to do what it takes to get into peak physical condition. It does take a some work if you are not used to it.
Oh sure...When it's time to carry the 250 pound bloated woman out of the house fire, or hostage situation, the lady cops can just shoot the cow.
Where's the beef?
