An Oakland City Councilwoman, Desley Clarke, is trying to put forth new regulations to lower the passing scores on the police exams, in the name of diversity. Most standard police exams are high school level, with emphasis on writing and grammar skills. Police officers must be capable of writing reports, that will be seen in courts, if the report reflects a conviction.
Lowering the exam passing score of 45, to 42 seems to be not in the best interest of anyone, even the applicant. What would work would be seminars, teaching exactly the type of writing skills and rudimentary skills one needs to pass the test. The only thing gained by lowering the exam score will be having senior officers have to teach the recruits later, or having them fail their probation. This is not a question of diversity, its a question of educating people in the basics.

Why would anyone want to dumb down the police force?????????????? There are a lot of really good officers but there are also a lot of officers that already seem to be dumbed down.
Never Before in USA!
This is fitting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tw9FwYhTiM
Since when do we place our thumbs in our palms to render a proper salute ??
That’s dumb.
They just keep dumbing America good going. They can’t salute they wear a rag on there head hell most of them can’t speak English. So yeah just keep up the good work assholes.
Should be even higher for them!
Why does this concept sound really really bad?
Be sure Councilwoman that the laws upheld are all COnstitutional (NOT SHARIA). If this is not going to be true from the beginning Oakland and surely all of California will go down in flames that will not be puyt out
