“Do whites have activist? “

If whites had activists they’d be called racists. Blacks can not, by definition be racist.

Police Activists =

Either Black Police in Gangs, like in NY, attacking whites.

or

DO”J”-empowered Black LEO operating above all “Laws”
(which don’t apply to the EXEMPT or criminals, anyway).

An “activist” is merely an agitator.

Behind closed doors? With the Mayor? Sunshine Law doesn’t exist in St. Pete, apparently!

Is there any workplace where affirmative action is used to award jobs and promotions to people where it doesn’t cause tension? This is absurd...

No, there are no white activists. Maybe it is time they got some.

“With four sergeant slots available, the chief can look at five candidates for each job. Of the 36 eligible, the highest African-American ranked 22nd. The other two were ranked 30th and 32nd.
“For one lieutenant spot, the highest-ranking black officer was fifth.”

If it’s based entirely on merit (it may not be, I know nothing about that department), and you promote solely on that basis, then where’s the complaint?

“You should inform the mayor that we need an independent, outside investigation of the Police Department,” a man told Tomalin. “They don’t have the best intention of African-Americans.”

Cry wolf too often (everything is racism!), and one day I’ll stop believing you, even if that does turn out to be the case.

“These promotions will not happen.”

Is that fair to those who were going to be promoted? Can they sue for loss of wages, seniority, etc., caused by racism?

According to the chart at the site, about 1/8 of the whites hold higher rank (sgt. and above); and 1/4 of the blacks hold higher rank; and only 1 out of 37 latino officers holds higher rank.

Maybe their first job (if race is what counts) is to promote a few more latino officers—and decrease the percentage of black officers?

They don’t want to be treated equally.

promotions based on merit (test scores) or skin color. lets see the skin color must take precedence, otherwise it is racist.

gee where i live the chief of police has a problem busted in the past for being intoxicated in a police cruiser while on duty. the state patrol caught the police chief once again, the union says it did not happen.

An “activist” is a brilliant, really-really smart, intensely intelligent, Progressive genius who knows everything, sees everything and who is the only legitimate answer to everything.

IMHO

Actually, blacks are by definition racist. Most all of their organizations and institutions are racist. Their leaders are professional racists.

The evolution into racist is a destructive rather than constructive force.

Exactly. The individual is the smallest minority.

Once again the politicians overlook the obvious answer to their problem. Since the Africanmericans POlice officers just want a way up the ladder andbelive they are being discriminated against, maybe the city should just make every Africanmerica new hire a Sargent and any with more than a month seniority a lieutenant Oh yeah, appoint he black guy chief. Oh yeah. Don't forget to redesign the uniforms. Something along the lines of Idi Amin's. That solves one problem. But...................
