Globe Correspondent / August 9, 2012
Hoping to end decades of tension over the advancement of minority officers, the Boston Police Department plans to overhaul a promotion system that has been criticized for contributing to a lack of diversity in the departments upper ranks.
Commissioner Edward F. Davis is expected to send an e-mail to officers and command staff Thursday announcing a $2.2 million initiative to *replace a written promotion *exam used statewide with a testing system that could *include interviews and other components designed to provide a broader measure of leadership and potential.
Among the departments approx*imately two dozen captains the highest rank determined by the promotion exam there is one Asian and no blacks, Hispanics, or women.
More affirmative action. Blacks are always at the bottom of every test whether it's an IQ test or the SAT or ACT or LSAT or police test or firefighter test. They can't make it on ability .

Life in a nation supposedly where all men were created equal is great, aint it?
Obama wants equality in school disciplinary actions, too. So the white kid who gets caught chewing gum in class gets a two week suspension, but the black kid who knifes another kid in the locker room will get a single after school detention. Its all in the numbers. Fewer whites commit serious schoolhouse infractions so the punishments meted out have to be graver for whatever infractions they commit.
okay then let's make doctors take only oral exams.. mmmmmkay?

Because cops and doctors do basically the same job, right?
Why is this in politics and not race relations? Also, your title is misleading.
the asians never count man, poor left out people.
I noticed that too. The article doesn't mention asians no doubt because they do very well on these tests and that disproves the liberal contention that the tests are culturally biased.

It's both politics and race though i'm sure the censors here will move it to the race dungeon so people don't find out about yet another example of special treatment for blacks.
