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.

Lowering the standards for idiots?
These are the IDIOTS who believe this! Why not just not test anyone since you are basically doing it anyway? SICK and the PC is killing our country. BAN and DEPORT all these non-Americans!
Don,t do it or you,ll pay. Your gonna get alot od nomads.
No, never
That is a really bad move on the part of people who should know better….
~~~ Most people do not seem to realize the seriousness of a takeover of the world by Islam, by the sworn enemy of Jesus Christ!!
~~~ The serpent started this in the Garden of Eden, then tried to redirect Abraham with Ishmael, and now Satan desires the whole world to bow at his feet!! And he is a cruel, cruel enemy, and the enemy of Jesus Christ from the beginning of time until now!! ~~~ NO, we, the people of God, need to recognize our enemy and aggressively look to Jesus Christ as our Captain of the Lord of Hosts, and follow Him!!!
You are qualified or you are not. Period. Race or ethnicity, etc should have no bearing
Should never lower standards for ANY group. If they don’t meet the standards then they just don’t pass. Why are they even admitting they can’t compete. Because that’s what quotas mean.
Lowering the standards does NOT work! Please remember EEO is supposed to work BOTH ways .Bypassing qualified people because of “diversity” is reverse discrimination. (which has run rampant in this country for decades)
we know you think your special but your not this is AMERICA we have laws
