Eric Holder demands more affirmative action to get more black cops in Ferguson

[ShootSpeeders]

There is no conspiracy to deny blacks the chance to be a cop. They just can't meet the standards. Most can't even read. So Eric Hitler wants standards lowered for black applicants.

ERIC HOLDER: Ferguson Police Should 'Consider' Becoming More Racially Diverse - Business Insider

AUG. 14, 2014, 3:19 PM 15,290 101

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has suggested the police authorities in Ferguson, Missouri should diversify in order to sooth racial tensions with the community.
"Over time, ... [the police] should consider the role that increased diversity in law enforcement can play in helping to build trust within communities," Holder said in a statement released Thursday afternoon.

The relatively small city of Ferguson has become the epicenter of protests against police violence in America since local officers shot and killed an unarmed African-American teen last Saturday. According to ABC News, the Ferguson police department has three black officers and 47 white officers

It doesn't' take much intelligence to be a cop but most blacks don't even have that. Many cities have replaced written tests with "interviews" so they can hire illiterate blacks to be cops!!!

 

[OriginalShroom]

Holder doesn't seem to understand that once a person becomes a cop, their race or gender doesn't matter any more.

They are now "The Police"..

Sure, there are a few exceptions, but not many.

Look at Detroit, New York, Chicago.. Most of the police force are minorities and they have the highest instances of Police Brutality charges in the country.

SS, you are on a roll today! Those stupid Dem-voting plantation welfare ******* really got to you on this one eh?

 

[nodoginnafight]

'bout time.

 

[gallantwarrior]

Shouldn't be a problem, provided qualified candidates present themselves for consideration. Seriously, though, we should start eliminating "race" from job applications. "Race" does not qualify, nor disqualify, a person from being hired. Affirmative action, on the other hand, makes a race an issue and is racist at its very heart.

Good, look at how the response changed when they brought in someone who was from the area and was willing to talk to people. Crazy concept huh?

Good lord. It's not a black vs. white issue Eric Holder.

Good lord. It's not a black vs. white issue Eric Holder.

For Holder, everything is a black vs. white issue.

And the right disagrees with him....because he's Eric Holder thats why

Got that right. Holder and obozo are pathological racists. Nearly all blacks are. They know they need the white man to give them special treatment if they want a job and they hate us for that dependency.

No - we disagree because it's a demand for affirmative action. It's fine with us if blacks get hired by meeting the same standards as whites.

"Should consider" is a demand you say? Or is it your own fearful interpretation of what he said?

Great stuff today SS. Pathological racists? Terrific...

They've been conditioned to think that way by racists in the U.S. government starting in the 30's or even earlier. It doesn't excuse inappropriate behavior but it's the key to understanding the problem. They have a feeling of entitlement thank to efforts of race hustling extortionists like Al Sharpton, the NAACP and others. When they knock over a convenience store or flash mob a Wallgreens, it is simply because they feel entitled to do so.

Court OKs Barring High IQs for Cops - ABC News

Court OKs Barring High IQs for Cops

A man whose bid to become a police officer was rejected after he scored too high on an intelligence test has lost an appeal in his federal lawsuit against the city.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower court’s decision that the city did not discriminate against Robert Jordan because the same standards were applied to everyone who took the test.

:::::

Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training.

:::::::

But the U.S. District Court found that New London had “shown a rational basis for the policy.” In a ruling dated Aug. 23, the 2nd Circuit agreed. The court said the policy might be unwise but was a rational way to reduce job turnover.

Aside from the blatant racism and ignorance and suspicion and hatred displayed by the OP, there are precious few folks on the Right who have a real grasp on the troubles in Ferguson.

After 9/11, the Department of Homeland Security poured billions of dollars worth of tactical military equipment into local police forces. As if the 'war on terror' would be fought on American streets by American policemen, the DHS armed local precincts as if they were defending an outpost in Afghanistan.

There is an old adage that says 'when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail'. Well, now that every little cop shop is equipped to fight a war, all they have are armored personnel carriers and .50 caliber machine guns, so every citizen looks like an enemy combatant.

Donning gas masks, riot helmets, flak jackets and high powered weapons, those who are supposed to 'serve and protect' appear to citizens as an occupying force. The police response in Ferguson was embarrassing to Americans. Such a response did not tamp down the ill feelings of the citizens of Ferguson, but created the opposite reaction, and rightfully so.

It's all part of a domestic arms race perpetuated on one side by over zealous police forces acting with impunity and on the other side by paranoid citizens who feel they are only safe if they pack weapons themselves for their own 'security and safety'. The result is an atmosphere of hatred and fear that only serves to perpetuate a cycle of violence. Unfortunately, some on the Right want to ramp up the division by adding more weapons and more rogue cops to achieve what they see as a peaceful solution to the troubles.

Attorney General Holder realizes that in order to de-escalate one has to actually do that. If cops are to protect and serve, they should be of the community in their charge. Rolling out the big guns never has acted as a relief valve, only as the next unfortunate step in making the community more suspicious and angry.

Sum this post up this way:

Hello Mister Jay Bird why do Eagles swoop down on their prey?

Jay bird gives typically Jay bird answer without having experience or knowing eagles personally. Othe rJay bird thinks the answer is legit because he too doesnt know better or any eagles. Jay birds also dismiss any eagles from the conversation preserving the Jay bird bubble

3.78, so 20 to 27 is ~75 to ~102? That's got to be a nonlinear scale. At that, according to SS's way of thinking, all cops would be darkies.

And no, I had never heard of that, but it makes sense.

Good idea. Lower the standards so more ignorant cops are hired. Sounds like a standard liberal plan. I'll be so happy when everyone is equal. I'm sure that one day Martin Luther King`s dream will come true once the race hustlers die off.
