Comments on: Feds require Dayton police department to lower hiring standards https://www.overlawyered.com/2011/03/feds-require-dayton-police-department-to-lower-hiring-standards/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Fri, 25 Mar 2011 15:14:55 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mannie https://www.overlawyered.com/2011/03/feds-require-dayton-police-department-to-lower-hiring-standards/comment-page-1/#comment-117725 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 15:14:55 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=22206#comment-117725 This sort of stupid policy actually fosters racial animosity and distrust. If one encounters a Black cop in Dayton, isn’t it now a fair assumption that he is one of the stupid ones let in by lowering the standards?

Could Dayton sue the DOJ for those expenses?

Could the DOJ change it’s mission from Dept. of Justice to Dept. of Police Equalization, or DOPE for short?

What a travesty!

Lowering standards specifically because certain races weren’t passing seems like the very definition of a “racially-based employment decision”…

And is it just me, or does the whole “race is just a social construct” meme get muted when affirmative action’s afoot?
