When you consider that thirty percent of all cops are ‘wannabe’ cops with no real skills....it’s best that we make them leave via any method possible....rather than keeping them on the force.
So he was terminated because he’s too stupid to do the job? What’s the problem?
“Peake was required to sign a termination letter contending he was let go for a “lack of solid job knowledge and basic police skills” and other “officer/public safety concerns” not spelled out in that letter in November 2010.”
Required to sign? Or what? Were they going to taze him until he complied, like the pregnant woman that didn’t want to sign her ticket?
Having worked with many Detroit based professionals, I’ve received countless written correspondence from them.. All (mostly well prepared and grammatically correct) However speaking to them is an excercise in discerning Ebonics. I’m can live with that as I deal with hundreds of emails per day and maybe 2-3 phone calls.
There is a professionalism that must be upheld in written correspondence
what a shocker!
His reports put the shizzle in the nizzle.
Peake peaked.
Next.
Is the reporter who wrote this article attempting to speak Ebonics too,?
Maybe both should go back to school and learn proper English so they can communicate affectively.
he be stooopid and sh!t...First he complains that he didn’t get any coaching or mentoring then he complains that he was put on a desk job.
If he was fired as he says for not filling in reports correctly and using improper language this was exactly the type of work he needed to do to improve his written communications skills. Desk work where he could improve his writing skills.
Lets see a Black Man fired for being too write a proper report or do his duties as an officer. Meet Obama’s pick for Atty. General if Holder steps down!
sounds like a good reason
I live in New York State, and can remember several years ago, when the State was offering minorities remedial reading classes at CUNY, for those interested in taking the Civil Service exam to become a State Trooper. The State was having problems finding enough minorities that could get a passing score on the exam.
Probably isn't.
Years ago, I was introduced to diversity. I had a boss who spoke and wrote in ebonics. It drove me nuts. I’d have to read papers multiple times to understand exactly what he meant. He’d say “pepper treater” instead of “perpetrator” and was easily confused with non-ebonic words such as “cistern” to which he had to ask what the sister had to do with getting water. He must have skipped several steps in the Peter Principal. A change of divisions brought a new muslim boss who announced on the first day he didn’t like me. Say what? That was back before I knew about muslim men hating left handed white women and especially those who knew more than them. A client had given me some watermelons so I tried to make peace by giving him one only to have him jump backwards out of my office like I had shoved a snake in his face. He hollered and wouldn’t touch it. How these stupid evil morons get hired, much less get promoted, is mind boggling.
Trooper Peake: “You are firing me because I am BLACK!”
HR Manager: “No Trooper Peake. We HIRED you because you are BLACK. We are firing you because you are INCOMPETENT.”
I was once arrested and taken to jail over a minor traffic infraction, by a frustrated ebonics-speaking Kentucky state trooper, because I couldn’t understand what he was trying to tell me. It was a traumatic experience.
Says he was fired because he’s Black.
Was probably hired for the same exact reason. Minority quota hire.
We are witnessing the de-evolution of mankind here in the USA. The current generation cant reason critically, speak the language of business professionals and just wants to smoke weed and play video games.
And they want me to pay for it.
