Minneapolis To Reduce Police Psych Testing After Screening Out Too Many Minorities
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/15/17 | Anders Hagstrom

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 they’d 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 Gratzer’s standards over the past five years, which were already far below the national standard. (RELATED: 150 Minnesota Cops Are Convicted Criminals)

The New Haven, CT Fire Dept. dumbed down their entrance exam for the very same reason.

These geniuses are doing this after the recent shooting of the Aussie woman. Incredible.

Not even the Mall of America is safe.

Isn’t this where a minority cop shot an unarmed woman under suspicious circumstances?

Minneapolis wants deranged Somalians for their police department.

Stay out of Minneapolis.

Yes, there is no apparent reason for him to have shot her. Seems to be because she was white and he was Muslim/black/Somali. How did he get on the force?

One of my acquaintances is a muzzie. Great guy and voted for Trump (yup, I can confirm this). His daughter though, will be joining the FBI and she’s a moonbat.

Well, there was her banging on the cop car’s trunk and then appearing suddenly at the driver’s side window.

But yeah, he needs to be fired, and/or sued.

Betsy Hodges needs to visit the Somali community at night for a little multicultural education. She also had better check on the limits of the city liability insurance policy.

Was it in Minneapolis where the Somali cop killed the unarmed female in cold blood?
