| Police Force Of The Future As Imagined By The DOJ? |
The DOJ is (once again) overstepping its bounds by interfering in a state's private business. Since when is it the duty of the Federal government to force a city to accept their mandates and change their hiring standards? If Ohio wants to require that officers pass the exam with 90% it is their business and their right to set that standard for themselves. And if certain groups of people cannot pass the exam then wouldn't we be better off sending them back to study more than we are hiring uneducated morons to assist in keeping our communities safe - just to make sure that people feel good about themselves?
Someone please tell me again how 'un' racist our current DoJ is and I double-dare you to do so with a straight face. I can't think of anything more racist than to make allowances for a special interest group based on their 'persecuted' skin color. The playing field is level, if blacks can't perform up to par that is still no reason to place entire communities in danger by pandering and catering to a bunch of crybabies who didn't make the cut!
And so we continue onward with the dumbing down of America. Heaven forbid someone 'feel bad' for failing to achieve their goals and by all means, instead of raising the bar and forcing people to reach and jump higher, let's just make every aspect of our society so easy that even cavemen have nothing higher to strive for...
Excerpt from ABC 22 News/Dayton
The Dayton Police Department is lowering its testing standards for recruits.
It's a move required by the U.S. Department of Justice after it says not enough African-Americans passed the exam.
Dayton is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees. The hiring process was postponed for months because the D.O.J. rejected the original scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board, which administers the test.
Under the previous requirements, candidates had to get a 66% on part one of the exam and a 72% on part two.
The D.O.J. approved new scoring policy only requires potential police officers to get a 58% and a 63%. That's the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’.
“It becomes a safety issue for the people of our community,” said Dayton Fraternal Order of Police President, Randy Beane. “It becomes a safety issue to have an incompetent officer next to you in a life and death situation."

...The D.O.J. has forced other police departments across the country to lower testing standards, citing once again that not enough black candidates were passing.
I live in Dayton and totally agree. Its not racist to want all people to pass an exam with a certain score. As long as your not stupid you should be fine. I think its ridiculous to lower the score because people are too lazy to study.
ReplyDeleteI still can not believe the dumbing down of America across the board. Whether it be in the schools of our first responders. What's next dumbing down the license to become a doctor....
ReplyDeleteIf I were a taxpaying resident of Dayton, I would be furious at being blatantly informed that instead of hiring the most capable and competent individuals, my tax $ was going to be spent instead making sure that everyone feels *good* and *equal*. Don't the families of Dayton (and the other cities the DOJ has stepped on) deserve the very best community protection their money can buy?
