So "diversity for the sake of diversity" is more important than the community's safety now?

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 ā€˜Fā€™ and a ā€˜Dā€™.

The NAACP came out strongly against it.

Because he knows that blacks cannot compete on these tests. If an F is not a passing grade, the blacks cannot pass. And that is soooooo "unfair." It's just not right. So now, when a black cop in Ohio stops somebody going 50 in a 25 zone, he will need help to figure out how much the driver was exceeding the speed limit. Now THAT is too funny.

One the surface, forcing the city to lower test scores will enable a lower quality recruits to become officers. The added bonus is the reminder to the States that the 10th Amendment means nothing to the Federal government.

Because that is the standard operating procedure for Liberals,rather than raise expectations,lower standards.That's why every city they run has deteriorated into cesspools,why the schools run the way they wanted have deteriorated,in fact everything run by liberals is second rate.

Just another in the continuing saga of the "blackening of America" by Nobama and his clueless supporters. Maybe everyone deserves to be Detroit.

No college front standards for blacks. No tutorial standards for black athletes. Fewer offender regulations persist with to blacks. seventy 5% of each and every person on television would desire to be blacks. Ebonics grow to be the respected language of the U.S. NBA gamers can circulate up into the stands every time they want, and beat the hell out of followers. each and every black receives to forged 3 votes for president. .....this would circulate on for days.

Lowering testing standards to let sub standard people in is a Democrat tenant of failure.

Because not enough blacks could pass the test and you KNOW that's racist to expect competency.



We want ALL uneducated minorities to feel they can work for the government some day.

The initial DOJ action started back during the Bush days. This is just the follow up...

Too funny...
