Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called to remove "obstacles" for new police recruits and pledged to root out officers with ties to "right-wing domestic extremist organizations."
Bass is looking to remove "obstacles" for police recruits who fail to initially qualify for training as a means of further diversifying the LAPD, according to a summary of her public safety goals obtained by Fox News Digital – but police union leaders are questioning the move.
Bass' summary of goals for police reform includes a list of provisions as well as dates by which the department must report back regarding progress. One provision says a deputy mayor will work in conjunction with a "third party" to "evaluate the personnel process and identify obstacles to entry for recruits who fail to qualify for training."
"We think that particular provision or that goal or that idea is dangerous," Tom Saggau, Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) spokesperson, told Fox News Digital.
"If you have police officers that can't make minimum qualifications or attained minimum standards, for instance, there are recruits that have been in the academy that just can't score the minimum requirements for a physical fitness test," he added. "One hundred is the maximum score, 50 is acceptable. There are folks that are scoring under 10. That's just dangerous."

This will not end well...................
When you cannot fix huge and growing problems in LA, invent a boogyman.
Another case where the mouth is bigger than the brain.
As a former prosecutor and now a full-time defense attorney, I can tell you that it is shocking to see the latest generation of police officers. Tattooed up women, undersized men, etc. Essentially, conservative white guys have stopped applying for the urban and semi-urban police forces and this, combined with the diversity crap, is making police forces a joke.
Somehow we continue to put the dumbest among us in charge.
We need the dumb and unqualified to root out whitey!
PW Botha was right.
Black elected officials CANNOT lead. They blame others (Usually whites) create strawman, and then start helping themselves and their cronies to the public treasury. While the people get screwed. Also the businesses are going to shut down in droves.
Exactly. And this same thing is (appropriately) happening to our military.
YAY!!!! The city is burning, break out the gasoline!!!
As the Ed the sidekick of The Great Karnak would say, “I hold in my hand the envelopes. As a child of four can plainly see, these envelopes have been hermetically sealed. They’ve been kept in a mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnalls’ porch since noon today. NO ONE knows the contents of these envelopes – but you, in your mystical and borderline divine way, will ascertain the answers having never before heard the questions.”
And the Answer is...
The La Police will have a “New Neighborhood Policing System”, The new division names will be Crips, Bloods, Cartels, Dragons, and Beverly Hills 911.
..like Roman/Eastern Orthodox Catholics, Baptists, Mormons, ex-military, MAGA and 'other' Republicans..
Bye-bye LA.
IMHO Karen Bass is the racist.
LA was already becoming a no go zone this idiot just sealed it.
So she is saying RW people have a higher IQ and education? Wait, I thought RW people had a lower education? They keep moving the goal posts...
Lower standards and she'll get more problems not less. This happened in Miami years ago after the Mariel boatlift when Cuba opened their prisons and shipped their criminals to Miami. The need to more police officers was so great standards were lowered... and it was years before Miami was able to overcome that mistake. This idiot mayor will lose the good cops she has and her city will continue to have to lower the bar... she's going to regret this and so will the fools who elected her.
To them, Joe Manchin is a right-wing extremist
Come on Man!, cousin pookie needs a gig.
The able don’t want to serve in the cities because they’re liable to be imprisoned for doing their job, and passed over if they avoid that fate.
The new diverse police and military can’t fight crime or foreign forces, but you bet they’ll have no qualms about going after American citizenry. Until the opportunity to take power comes along. Rome learned that once.
