Colorado Springs female cops demand lower physical standards for women.

[ShootSpeeders]

The test requirements are given below and sound super-easy. Anyway, whatever the standards are, we can't lower them just for women.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Twelve female Colorado Springs police officers have sued the department, claiming discrimination during a physical fitness exam.

“None of these women have ever had any performance issues and none of these women have ever had any problems making forcible arrests, taking criminals off the streets or solving crimes,” said Ian Kalmanowitz, Attorney for Cornish & Dell’Olio.

Their attorneys also said the women “have been stripped of their uniforms, guns, and pride, by a test.”

The lawyers said the women think the test is “unfair” and it’s “not normal for their age and sex” in comparison to other physical fitness exams in other agencies or the military.

According to a list of requirements provided by CSPD, each officer is required to take a physical ability test once per calendar year. The test requires:

• Performing as many push-ups as possible in one minute. One point is earned for each push-up.
• Running through a course as fast as possible while making quick turns and changes in direction. Points are awarded based on how quickly the officer completes the course.
• Performing as many sit-ups as possible in one minute. One point is earned for each sit-up.
• Completing the Beep Test, which measures aerobic capacity. The test involves multiple runs on a 20-meter course. The officer must keep up with a pace indicated on a CD. The pace increases in one-minute intervals for each run. One point is awarded for each run completed at the specified pace.

To pass the test, officers must earn at least 20 points, including at least one point in each category.

Of course, they want lower standards as they're A LOT weaker then men. Somehow, we have to make men do more to earn the same thing so we can say how fair we're! LOL

Women don't belong in this type of job if they can't do it. end of discussion. This is the problem with the liberal mindset...Oh'there's no difference, but by saying that they're throwing out entire chapters of biology. Now who's anti-science?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

If you can't pass the requirements the standards should not be lowered. Same for those gals trying to be Rangers.

Yup - liberals want different standards so every group has equal chance of passing!!!

Officers range in age from 40-52 according to the full complaint text. Little soggy around the midsection ladies? Part 83 and 84 of the complaint document female test results being just 60-80% that of male officer performance. Part 86 claims to accurate depict performance for groups comprised of menand women of different ages, results must be normalized. Um, no they don't. If a 52 year-old as in the complaint can't match up to the performance of a 22 year-old officer, the 52 yo shouldn't be a cop any more. Or at least not a patrol officer. If you want it, you'll get yourself fit enough to meet the requirements. If you wanna coast your way to your pension you'll be one of the those fat bastard cops.

"normalize". That's the democrat euphemism for giving inferior groups special treatment.

Holy shit. Read the requirements. They need 20 points to pass.

Two tests are as many pushups or situps in 1 minute as you can do. You get 1 point for each rep.

So...if you do 10 pushups in 1 minute...and 10 situps in 1 minute....thats 20 points...and you could just skip the running parts!!!!

Are they fucking serious? They cant do 10 fucking pushups or situps in a minute!!!? You can rest 5 seconds between each one!!!

Just pathetic. More weakening of our police forces.

Now heres the kicker....as usual...they will lower these already laughable standards for women. But...what happens when a fat male officer arrives for his annual test....and he says "Sergeant. ..just to let you guys know...I am now officially a female. So ill be graded on female standards". Then sue them for discrimination against trannies when they dont allow it.

What the liberal morons dont realize is this. You can "normalize" standards all you want.

But the physical requirements of an officer to fight a drug crazed 250 pound male felon intent on harming the officer will NEVER change.

So.if they want to lower standards...then those bitches need to be put behind a desk.

We want different standards where different standards make sense. Just because you're mad that they have a tampon machine in their bathroom and you don't doesn't mean we give a good goddamn.

Does it make sense to lower standards for cops?? If anything they need to be raised. Cops need to be strong and able to fight. Otherwise they get killed....or....they PANIC and shoot someone who doesnt have to be shot. Why? Because they dont have the confidence that comes with being STRONG and able to FIGHT.

You liberals want cops who are smaller and weaker....but then want them to use weapons less often in a fight.

Its so retarded its honestly hard to explain. Its like explaining why you shouldnt try to let a lion. Its so obvious.

I want cops, of all sizes and capacities, all races and religions, who know that they are serving the community, by walking around and getting to know people, by living there, by keeping an eye on things but not treating the citizens who pay their salaries as either criminals or enemies. For that you don't need to look like a movie hero, or act like one.

 

[ScienceRocks]

The left doesn't give a damn about standards or rather the cops are able to defend themselves. They hate cops and hate this country.

Anything to divide is their goal.

Are they fucking serious? They cant do 10 fucking pushups or situps in a minute!!!? You can rest 5 seconds between each one!!!

.

That amazed me too. They should require like 30 pushups in a minute and then 30 situps the next minute.

HAHAHA. Let's just give cop jobs to everyone who applies. Same with judges and airline pilots. You libs are too much.

For cops, just about. Who they serve is what they should look, act, and think like. Got a problem with that?

It's a tough call. In the military, standards are not only different for women but they change as soldiers age, becoming easier starting at the age of 22 in the Army. It's an attempt to make standards that accommodate differences in gender. For instance, women don't have to do as many pushups as men and they get more time on the 2 mile run, but their situps are roughly the same. Women don't have as much upper body strength, but they are equal in abdominal stamina.

Your right that it's about fairness, and in all fairness I have to say this isn't a big deal. Female cops are usually working together with men to accomplish joint tasks and I imagine that instances where a woman's lesser physical strength proved a serious liability are exceptionally rare. I don't think they're being unreasonable.

What about firemen or the military? They serve the exact same citizens. And we "pay their salaries" too. Should we just let anyone regardless of size, physical ability, etc. into those jobs?

Oh....thats different huh?

I love how cop haters are so quick to throw that "I pay your salary" line as if its the ultimate insult. Um....yeah. The cop pays taxes to. So he could say he is self employed since he pays his own salary haha!

 

[Mac1958]

When in doubt, or if someone's feelings may be hurt, just lower standards.

America. That's how we roll.

No its not unreasonable to have slightly lower standards for women. And its not unreasonable to say women cant do certain jobs. Like being a door breacher on a SWAT team. Those guys need NFL player builds.


But my goodness....the standard was 10 pushups in a minute and 10 situps in a minute. I mean....cops WILL have to fight people. And they carry guns which can be taken from them.
