“Many departments attract a diverse pool and subjective admission and hiring policies wash them out after the first interview,” said Malik Aziz, executive director of the National Black Police Association."

“”Black candidates face several hurdles, including written tests that may not be culturally neutral or are simply outdated, the experts say.”
Translation: Experts say blacks are stupider than whites.
As part of her job my sister interviewed candidates for air force security forces. She brushed over the typical questions and told me some of the astounding answers. A typical Q&A was, “Why do you want to be in the security force?/ I want to bust people.” Another answer was, “I want to shoot people.” Yeah, some of them were jaw dropping answers. So, yes, the interview washes a lot of people out. It’s supposed to.
So lower the testing standards, right?
Stupidity.
I recently encountered a sheriff’s deputy who couldn’t have been 5 foot 3. I was thinking, this kid wouldn’t have any choice but to shoot me if I tried to overpower him.
OMG.
Lets riot.
Really??? So they should lower standards?
They should never exceed 12.6% of the force - the same as in the general population.
The percentage of Blacks in the US has remained fairly constant for over 100 years.
In 1870 blacks made up 12.7% of the population.
In 2010 black made up 12.6% of the population.
Seems to me pretty darn representative.....although such "goals" are stupid. If you are the best qualified for the job, you should get the job. The color of your skin need not be a consideration.
What if the NBA had to have 70% of their teams be WHITE in order to achieve parity with the population? That would be wrong, too.
“Black candidates face several hurdles, including...rap sheets as long as their arms and various felonies.”
There. Truth hurts, don’t it?
Thank a Democrat for DESTROYING the Black American Family all in the name of votes and POWER.
*SPIT*
My son is a member of a police dept. that has about 50 uniformed officers. After trying for years, they finally found one qualified applicant. The only one who could pass the written application/test and also pass the drug test.
Then, bygosh, those ravaged communities can set whatever standards they want for their police officers.
Honestly, I'm sick of it. The only logical outcome, from global all the way down to local things, is a complete collapse of government.
It would be interesting to know the percentage of the population made up of black males not in jail.
As the percentage distribution of racial population groups changes the composition of the work force will lag behind until retirements create openings.
Why would any black person want to become an “Uncle Tom” and go to work for “the man”?
This is total crap and intentional mis-reporting. First, Blacks make up 17%~21% of the US population and second, they represent 60% of most big chitty police departments.
What surprises me is that the WSJ would be reporting these lies.
Obviously White cops can't police minority neighborhoods. Should black cops be patrolling White neighborhoods?
Two questions that must be answered before we can have this discussion.
How many African Americans WANT to be cops?
How many AAs QUALIFY to be cops (clean record, pass tests)?
I’ll bet AA representation in police work is very similar to the answers to those questions.
12% is about right...their entire population is about that, and it includes all those half white/half black people that suddenly morph into “black” period....
