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.
Yea, scholar.
...K might be able to tell ya both all about the dangers inherent in doing somthing silly, like that. ;^)
LOL--don't tell me you are impuning our bud's motives and integrity?? Can't wait for his response--
HA!!
Yea, & it can get damned downright dangerous as we saw with the Philly cop?
...& the unAmerican part is why I suspect they're doing it, at that.
Response shemonce; whaaaat response.
sultan doesn't know you the way I know you, scholar; so?
He doesn't know instead of impuning, you really meant to say, impaling.
...devil's in the details; eh, oh Brainy1?
The more incompetent they are as officers, that is where the U.N. comes in to take authority away from the local police. All done by design. If we had cops who abided by the law and were chosen on bases of their qualifications, we would have a lesser percentage of a crime rate.
It is. But as Abigail and Stephan Thernstrom reported in America in Black and White, Clinton aides, Christopher Edley (now a Harvard Law professor) and Geroge Stephanopolous, drew up a policy of violating the USSC decision (I think the case was Adarand v. Pena). And while Bush doesn't go out of his way to violate USSC decisions, he also doesn't do anything to ensure that the Constitution is respected. After the mau-mauing he endured in the attempted Gore coup in 2000, he has bent over for black racists.
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.
Thank you for the clear language. Racial profiling is clearly going on -- anti-white profiling. When people know that they didn't get their jobs based on their competence, and that keeping their jobs is not based on competence, they will do as they please, all while bragging about how they are "role models."
Wow! Do you have any links/cites (I realize this was a few years ago)? Something tells me, that a little digging will turn up such a scandal in every big city P.D. in America.
Unfortunately, no. That was somewhere around late '95 or early '96 and I wasn't on the web at the time. It was a big item for a few days on Chicago radio. Chicago PD was promising a BIG investigation and then nothing more was heard about it.
I wonder if a search of the Chicago newspapers for that time frame would glean any information. John Kass of the Tribune follows a lot of stories in that vein.
"Remaining true to an 'intrinsically sounder' doctrine established in prior cases better serves the values of Stare Decisis than would following a more recently decided case inconsistent with the decisions that came before it; the latter course would simply compound the recent error, and would likely make the unjustified break from previously established doctrine complete. In such a situation, 'special justification' exists to depart from the recently decided case."
What that meant was that judges and lawyers must refer to earlier cases even if it means going back to the Law and the Constitution. They need to be objective about their decisions based on the Law of the land. This also means that what the judge says is not always in effect if it is in conflict with the Founders intent of the Constitution. The problem today is most lawyers are unschooled in the Law of the Constitution. They have been schooled in courts of equity and commerce which is in conflict with the Law of this land. This also applies to the judges. So when it comes to the judges or lawyers, whether government or private, most of them are ignorant as hell. I'm also saying that 90% of judges and lawyers are incompetent when it comes to the original intent of what our Founders had for our freedom.
