Thanks for the flag.

I'm all for rooting bad cops out regardless of race and I don't think hiring standards should be lowered because of race. Make everyone meet the same reasonable standards. It's really that simple.

In the PPD, race-based hiring has apparently gone farther down the slippery slope than in New York. And yet, as far back as 1992, a psychologist who was a consultant to the New York City Police Academy told me, "It's incredible, the pressure to pass people, just because they're minorities. It's all racial. They push, push, push, with people who are inappropriate and are often antisocial themselves."

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.
