So how is it, that Washington DC has any sway over what a city determines to be a passing grade on a police extrance test?

This is NOT a federal issue!

I like how the local NAACP president opposes this lowering of standards too.

Even he sees this failure of checkbox "multiculturalism" and racial quotas for what it is!

The continued “dumbing down” of America...with the race card played to boot.

Listen, when the President says that the police acted stupidly, he wants to be factually correct.

I wonder if there will be other factors, aside from the artifically lowered passing grade, which will help in candidate selection

It will help if they have black skin.

Well, then again, truth to tell, that's how Holder got his job. It's intuitively obvious that you don't need to have brains to be a cop or AG, just the right color to "protect and serve."

Then again, that's why Obama has his job as well. And Biden. Obama needed some appeal to white liberals and Biden is the best he could do.

That's why Sotomayer made it to the supremes. Just because of race. Well, sex too of course.

Face it. The cornerstone of this administration is race.

The only way this jack booted strongarming by that damn thug Holder is ever going to stop is for people to just stand up to him and start telling him to keep his damn Federal nose out of their LOCAL business.

Ahhhhhh. But there is something that makes any and all local business a federal matter.

When minorities are involved, "civil rights" are involved. And that makes anything a FEDERAL matter -- even, presumably, the color of ice cream.

Any self respecting black will carry this embarrassing sign around their neck.

Some people just have to keep blacks down.

How degrading.

When you consider that white candidates will be rejected with much higher scores until the fill their quotas of blacks, it becomes doubly repugnant. And 58 percent? That’s disgusting. Ohio civil service exams have always been a joke.
I sat for one for a municipal fire department once, scoring 97% without ever having been to fire school. They wanted to hire some of their buddies that were volunteers, but their scores were much, much lower. Their solution was to make the test scores only count for 33 percent of the overall, with the “interview” counting for 66 percent.

I’m back in school, working for a nursing degree.
If you can’t maintain a score of 80 plus on all your work, you are out. In the pharmacology you must get 80 plus on every quiz and test. Some jobs just require a higher standard for the public safety. I think if you are putting someone on the street with a gun and the authority to use it, they better be an above average person.

Holder’s ultimate goal is to have an empowered black police force controlling the population.

Armed citizens can keep "an empowered black police force" from controlling anything.

When they come for your guns, give them the bullets first.

Way back in Greek mythology a guy named Procrustes used to welcome weary travelers to his home by the road with a meal and a nice bed for the night - and to make sure they were really comfortable he’d stretch them on a rack or cut off a limb or two so they’d fit the exact length of the bed - ‘course it turned out his real interest was in incapacitating and robbing his guests, and finally his neighbors got tired of his rearranging passersby to meet his own ends and treated him to a long rest on his own bed, using his own cut to fit methodology - truly Holder sounds like an up to date Procrustes, cutting and fitting reality for his own personal interests - let’s hope the neighbors get fed up soon.......

How humiliating to be recognized as an “affirmative action” hire, made possible by lowering standards. But there are those who can live with that stigma. No longer are we talking about justice, but about reverse discrimination and retribution.

Maybe I'm ignorant, but what authority does the federal government have over local law enforcement?
Could a LEO educate me?

I know they federalized the National Guard, but have they federalized all state and local government too?
I don't get it.
