The city of Minneapolis may fire its police psychology evaluator because his tests screened out too many minority candidates, despite already lowering psych evaluations far below the national standard.
The July police shooting of Justine Damond triggered the city to scrutinize its psychological standards for police, with many claiming theyd become lax. Psychiatrist Thomas Gratzer has run psych testing for the Minneapolis police for the past five years, and in that time, he has eliminated four of the five tests used to determine whether a candidate is fit to be an officer, APM reported Thursday. Now, Gratzer is facing firing not for gutting his standard, but for screening out too many minorities.
Mohamed Noor, the officer who shot Damond, is Somali and was one of 200 cops approved by Gratzers standards over the past five years, which were already far below the national standard. (RELATED: 150 Minnesota Cops Are Convicted Criminals)

Sudden Jihad Syndrome Blue Lives Matter.
Minneapolis PD becomes even more of a bad joke.
“Isnt this where a minority cop shot an unarmed woman under suspicious circumstances?”
Somali cop. The MSM buried the hell out of it as it doesn’t fit the ‘give me your tired and your poor’ narrative.
Sad!
One of my best buddies in Vietnam became a cop in Minneapolis. I think he went into something else several years later.
The one time I visited, it seemed like a nice city.
Sounds like the same fate as high school exit exams.
This “affirmative action” of psych tests should scare the bejesus out of everyone, imagine, being a MD is too difficult for many “ethnics” maybe we should lesson the requirements so we can have “more people of color”.
Wow. Just wow.
Well, I’m crossing the entire state of Minnesota off of my bucket list now.
In the mind of criminally insane FBI agents, the purpose of the police to ‘social gentrification’ NOT protection of citizens from criminals.
One more reason to end the FBI... nutty liberal elite ideas cause deaths... cop deaths and citizen deaths.
Unbelievable. Unless you want police departments that will support a Red Dawn.
Did the Mayor have anything to say to the victim’s family after the murder? She was quick to praise the immigrants, surely she was quick to offer condolences to the woman’s family, right???
Minneapolis does not have enough dead white people.
The Daily Caller article is based on an American Public Media (Minnesota Public Radio) article, which is long, but details how the Minneapolis PD has gotten rid of experts and replaced them with “diverse” evaluators with little to no experience in interviewing and assessing cops, as well as reducing the psychological testing done to assess fitness. A surprisingly good article, even if intended as a hit piece on cops.

Just one more reason to cross them off a list of vacation destinations. It aint Mary Richards town anymore!
At least Mogadishu is run by warlords and not Liberals and they won't care if you believe in Global Warming Climate Change and "Social Justice".
Why don’t they make a gang tattoo an automatic “pass” on the entrance exam?

How did he stay on the force?
