St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay is working in collaboration with the NAACP St. Louis Branch, the St. Louis Public Safety Department, and the Ethical Society of Police to recruit more minority police officers to the force. The City has been working on the initiative for months. However, the tragic shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on, August 9, 2014, gave the plan a greater sense of urgency.

Tonight on The Pulse of St. Louis, learn the qualifications needed to become a St. Louis police officer and how to help improve the relationship between law enforcement officers and the community they serve.

... because Jesse Jackson won’t show up if a black officer blows away a ‘G’.

“Affirmative action” is Jim Crow.

“St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay is working in collaboration with the NAACP St. Louis Branch, the St. Louis Public Safety Department, and the Ethical Society of Police to recruit more minority police officers to the force.”

Debacle redux.

Miami also hired more “minorities” - and the River Cops Scandal was the direct result.

Lowering standards so the “minority de jure” (minority du jure - take your choice) is a faulty premise which leads to a bad conclusion.

But, multi-trial learners insist on repetition . . . .

does that mean watering down requirements for minorities??

does that mean no more background investigations?

How else do thay plan to encourage minority applicants?

Just keep lowering the standards and keep on blurring the reality.

Tell me, as a white person would you take a job as a cop in the St. Louis area?

I sure as hell would not and if I was one there now,I would make sure my resume was on the desk of damn near very police chief and sheriff in every city and county between Kansas City and the California border.

Before Katrina New Orleans announced that they would hire people with criminal records to be police. Pretty reassuring that.

It will work. Get a black police officer to shoot a black thug in St. Louis you get NO response.

Maybe the dude who was with Michael Brown should apply - he obviously knows a bit about the law....
