I'M CALLING FOUL! How did the DOJ know it was FOUR departments then unless THEY were racist too???

Business leaders were asked about that as well. Their answer was "basic math and English".

There is no giant conspiracy against women or blacks. Fact is women are physically equal to 12 year old boys and blacks are mentally equal to 12 year old white kids.

This is the same old "disparate impact" argument they are using. So why don't they apply it to the NFL and NBA?

"Specifically, the department alleges that South Bend uses a written examination that discriminates against Black applicants and a physical fitness test that discriminates against female applicants."


Summary from DOJ:

Sounds like the DOJ is racist, calling Blacks dumb, and misogynist, saying women have less physical ability than men. Isn't this the same DOJ that would let men compete in women's sports????

It's true and everybody knows it. Blacks are mentally equal to 12 year old white kids and women are physically equal to 12 year old boys.

"The PFT requires applicants to perform six activities, including a vertical jump, sit-ups, 300-meter run, push-ups, 1.5-mile run, and a pistol trigger pull. To pass the PFT, candidates must meet specific standards for each of the six PFT components.
Since at least 2016, female applicants have passed the PFT at a lower rate than male applicants.
From 2016 through August 2019, approximately 87.6 percent of male test-takers passed the PFT, while approximately 45.5 percent of female test-takers passed."

Yeah, well, people in wheelchairs won't pass either. Physical ability is a job requirement.

"The written test includes 120-130 multiple choice questions broken down into seven sections: (1) Learn and Apply Knowledge; (2) Observe and Accurately Describe Events and Objects; (3) Remember Identifying Information; and (4) Remember Shapes and Spatial Relationships; (5) Complete Routine Forms; (6) Grammar; and (7) Spelling.
Until 2017, applicants had to score at least 82 percent to pass the written test and advance to the next step in Defendant’s selection process.
Since in or around 2017, the test components have remained the same but the minimum passing score was lowered to 80 percent.
Since at least 2016, African-American applicants have passed the written test at a lower rate than white applicants. Approximately 84.1 percent of white test-takers passed the written test, while approximately 62.8 percent of African-American test-takers passed."

Yeah, well, not everyone can be a rocket scientist either.

This will more than likely fly and they will be found to be violating the law.

Which is insane because reading the claims, nothing on there is remotely unrelated to the job. It is fucking asinine that the DOJ is upset that there is a physical fitness test for being a police officer. That is a no shit sherlock moment.

And they state what the written exam is coving - exactly the things that cops need to do. This is the bullshit side of DEI, disregard what people can and cannot do, what they are efficient or good at and only consider race and sex.
