The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department is ponying up money — and rewriting outdated hiring policies — after denying an HIV-positive man a job as a first responder.

The unnamed Black man was refused a job with the MNPD in 2020, prompting him to sue the department last year. At the time of the man applying for a position, the MNPD followed hiring practices set forth by the United States Army. The Army previously barred people living with HIV from enlisting, but no longer discharges military members due to HIV status or considers HIV in deployment or commission decisions.

Indeed, the first disease with its own "civil rights."

Rush was right again.

Good grief. This country’s descent into stupidity continues.

[Democrat = party of treason]

Because everyone wants an HIV person attending to them in a life or death situation...

[Revolutionary]

That’s just stupid. In jobs where blood can run amok, you can’t have people with HIV.

And then there’s the kiss of life.

Mouth to mouth resucitation: If the heart attack don’t kill you, the AIDS will.

outdated

Bull$#!+ Word!

What more proof do people need that this is indeed a disease of addicts and sodomites.

These HIV carriers want it both ways, for their “condition” to count as an actionable handicap, but not a handicap when it comes to service in the military, which has MANY medical disqualifiers.
