Article details the race-based corruption of the Philadelphia Police Department, where incompetent and even dangerous candidates are hired, based on the color of their skin, and who as police officers go on to shoot children, engineer anthrax hoaxes, and otherwise engage in criminal acts.

In Philadelphia, New York, and some other cities, whites and blacks are hired based on different standards (which isn't going to change anytime soon), and comprise what are essentially different, overlapping, and often mutually incompatible police forces.
My hunch, as to why we don't see more such screw-ups, is that folks like Officer Carter-Morange studiously avoid situations, in which they might have to draw their weapon. And when that doesn't work, there are always helpful media persons to clean up the mess.
That's why there's no way around white flight. At this point, the only whites living in the heart of places like Philly, are those who are too poor to move, and who -- because of the reality of being white in the inner city -- usually have no opportunities to improve their lot.
Call it, slippery-slope, or backdoor Nazism.
When our law enforcement goes bad, today there is only one way to handle it. Treat them like they are the enemy, and intervene accordingly.
Use your imagination.
It is too bad that racial profiling takes place to meet racial/ethic quotas, rather than hiring solely on merit. The degree of irresponsibility that these Officers have demonstrated is unbelievable. Unfortunately the hiring of minorities takes place every day by employers and government agencies requiring job applicants to list their race or ethnicity on employment and contracting applications. Thus race takes precedence over qualifications.

My imagination tells me, that white flight is looking really good. While I can appreciate your position intellectually, my imagination tells me that in practice it's a recipe for "suicide by cop."
What an incredible way to look at affirmative action the pc actions, they are just racial profiling to fill jobs to meet the racial quotas that inspired the racial profiling.
Some years ago there was a brief scandal in the Chicago PD. They were hiring police officers based on racial quotas. Hispanic officers were found to be members of some of the most notorious street gangs in the city. It was a big story for a while and then just "went away."
FYI -- This is off the topic of the thread, but yesterday I learned how to AVOID having those stupid failed picture posts! (Too bad I learned it after my post...)
This trick works in Microsoft Explorer, but not Netscape.
If you are going to post a picture, do the normal HTML stuff, and then hit the preview button. That will show you what you post should look like. But a normal preview will also display IMAGES that may not link successfully after you hit the post button. You can discover whether the image link will work by -- right from that preview screen -- hitting CONTROL-N to pop up a new window. If the image link works in the new window, then the image link will work when you click the post button. After you check the image link, just close the new window, and, back in your original window, click on the post button. You post will go through and the image will link correctly.
I hope this helps anyone who's been hit by those darn red X's when they'd planned on a picture...

Chicago?
A *scandal*??
Gezzz scholar, who'd a thunk it?
;^)
"They were hiring police officers based on racial quotas. Hispanic officers were found to be members of some of the most notorious street gangs in the city."
That, was my point; and, my only point.
I've observed a variation of this insanity going on within the banking industry; whereby, the banker dare NOT even CONSIDER dening a loan.
~Even if, said borrower had a LOUSY credit history & was a horrible risk.
For God help the bank committing such a *sin*; should, the individual denied an automobile or house loan fall under the Liberal's definition of, "minority."
Why that bank/banker would be smeared & hung by their petard; labeled a "racist" individual/institution by our wonderfully vigilant Liberal media so fast as to make their heads spin.
Then after that drubbing, be sued into oblivion by any number of government agencies representing the very government which is supposed to proptect their rights, too.
Nuts.
My God...
Clintigula's "boom economy" attained much of its impetus visa vi this kind of reckless, irresponsible policy!
Although again: few will find the backbone to come right out & state that dirty, little fact.
Such is the degree of fear the Socialist bastards have been waaawwy too successful planting in the minds & hearts of the American public.
Joe Stalin wasn't squat compared to what we've witnessed, I swear.
~Amazing stuff.
"It was a big story for a while and then just 'went away.'"
There you go again, scholar.
Are you going to try & say the Lamestream media simply dropped this story because it didn't fit [their] Socialist, Utopian template!?!?!
Outrageous!
...well I for one, don't believe it.
;^)
Yea, well...
That's the way of it, sometimes.
The only thing I can say about the *accusation* in the way of explaination?
Is that ol' Nick Stix never met me.
...& that's a fact. {g}
HA--that's exactly what I am saying Bud.
Really.
Well then; guess you told me, alright.
Y'know scholar?
With you around I've found all I really need to do?
Is shut my trap & let my thoughts flow like water from your brilliant mind, to your nimble fingers.
...then read it all back to myself!!
;^)
Beware, scholar. Don't fall for *that* guy's sweet talkin'!!
