So, I took 2 seconds to google this story. The issue with the test, apparently, is that minorities are not being informed of open positions in higher ranks and are not being given the same time to prep for the written test that white male officers are. They claim that only those in a select group are even being offered those positions. It has come to city attention because of recent issues of police struggling to get cooperation in minority neighborhood or being able to communicate with minorites because all of the officers are white men.
So sad to burst your bubble, but women and blacks are not just naturally stupider then white men.
Two questions. First, how is it that whites are "being informed of open positions in higher ranks" and minorities are not?
Second, if that is the problem, that minorities are not being as much prep time as whites, why not address that? Why change the standards, and not simply continue with the test? Just make sure that women, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, homos, and all other minorities have equal time to study as white men?
My guess? The excuses given are complete bullshit.
My guess, you didnt read the rest of the thread.
I already answered these questions but will answer again, for you.
The positions are not being posted in a timely fashion if they are posted at all, same goes for test times. Only a select few officers( all white men) are being given the option to take the test.
2nd, they ASKED, let me repeat, they ASKED to be informed beforehand, of open positions and test times. That was the request, a year ago. Cut to a year later, and shockingly, simply telling department heads that they cant tell their buddies when the tests are but not inform everyone else, didnt work. SO the Chief decided to ADD to the written test, other componets to help combat the favoritism in the departments.
How do you know that only a select few officers are being informed of the exam? Because the failures said it was so?
