The problem was not with black cops, Lott's study showed, but rather with the lowering of standards across the board, resulting in less-qualified officers of every race.

Uh oh... Stand by to Stand By.

Is Ferguson deliberately turning away black applicants for the police department? If they are, they should be prosecuted. If not, we should ask why there aren’t more black cops on the force. Could it be because (1) blacks aren’t interested; and/or (2) you need a clean record to become a member; and/or (3) black applicants can’t pass the entrance tests?

First they threw out size requirements (cops used to be big so they didn’t have to depend on their gun), then intelligence requirements for written tests, and then strenght requirements to get females.

Evidently, 40 to 45 years of dropping standards, has not been enough yet.

In a massive, detailed 2000 study of the effect of court-ordered affirmative action plans on police departments, economist John Lott found that the more minorities on a police force, the higher the rates of murder, manslaughter, violent crime, robbery and aggravated assault will be. Violent crime increased by a minimum of 3.3 percent every year after affirmative action policies went into effect -- and the spike in crime was highest in black neighborhoods.

So. The more Afirmative Action cops that are hired - the higher the crime rates?

lolol

Good catch Annie!

How many blacks had applied, been turned away by the Ferguson PD?

Telling that NOT ONE MSM outlet has looked into this.

WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE FERGUSON RIOTS ?

All this inflamatory reporting of confrontations between black youths and authority is ruthlessly designed to keeping the black segment of Obama’s political support riled up so that any thought of instituting a richly deserved impeachment proceeding goes nowhere.

This regime and its supporters don’t give a damm if some poor black women or anyone else used all their resources to set up a business in those communities only to have it destroyed through blacks rioting resulting from what democrats created through their propaganda. Such blacks are viewed as eggs that must be broken to make their omlet.

That includes the whites,”hispanics” (note quotes) and asians. They are the other victims who have been maimed, assulted, and murdered by blacks citing those Florida manufactured episodes as their excuse for retribution.

This POTUS (president of the United States) signaled the clever direction to take through his use of “The Bully Pulpit”. And continues to rely on the constitutional office of The US Attorney General to conduct activities and investigations which promote division rather than supress it. Two examples of this used in the Florida case were Holder’s support of the Black Panther’s protest activity and the reward for the demise of the alledged murderer George Zimmerman of the “child”, Treyvon Martin. Which got a wink and a nod

With Ferguson beside sending in 40 DoJ prosecuters which remain to be seen what they come up with. (The Washington Post sent in 4 reporters to work over officer Wilson). Holder demanded witholding the devastating release of the video showing the “victim”was a 6 foot 4 inch 295 pound Michael Brown assulting a dimunitive asian store clerk, who was being portrayed as Brown a just turned 18 year old black”kid” innocently walking home to grandma’s house shot in the back by a white police officer, Wilson, just because Brown was black.

That video was released according to press reports by the police chief of Ferguson responding to FOIA (freedom of information act) requests. But had that video been released earlier there was a decent chance there might have not been 4 days of rioting looting, and destruction of property.

The POTUS has yet to acknowledge and decry those other results, of killings and assults by blacks of whites, “hispanics”, and asians, in retribution for what a “white” hispanic did to a black kid.. Let alone be urged to do so by “news” members of the democrat propaganda army known as the media. They have yet to suffer as their victims the same or any conseqences. They like him are being held unaccountable . It’s time both are. .

While the Florida thing was going on nobody noticed what came out of HHS and its resettlement/relocation policies as a means to handle the racial divide. If Obama had his druthers and could pull it off we’d be all living in urban centers taking a street car to work, store, and play living happily together in a utopian setting with our thermostats set at 67 degrees.

They and by they I’m mean that political party which is in name only called “democrat”. There is nothing “democratic” about them. While the riots were going on you had a democrat governor calling for a “vigorous prosecution of the white officer involved” and his black state police commander depicted flashing hand signs marching with the radicals . And the cops reportedly told, let them riot. As the local state democrat representative repeats the propaganda dished out by the regime.

Not recognizing why this “racial divide” is being perpetuated has nothing to do with such lofty counter arguments being offered by the political opposition on “equality” or “justice”. Those discussions are viewed with glee and laughed at by the democrats because it first of all lends credability to their lying assertions and diverts focus from the real reason why the those in power are using this political device known as division. It’s to keep them unquestioningly in power.

When was the last time a white cop got convicted of raping a black woman?

I remember a black cop raped a black woman in Milwaukee which I guess has more a quota friendly hiring policy than Ferguson.

9/10 of the “white racism” stories turn out to be hoaxes.

I read an article a while back about the availability of Black Males in the labor force. The point was that government has hired so many black males that private companies have a very difficult time recruiting Black Males.

I have been looking a labor data and a website call black demographics to verfiy to article. It is not easy to analyze the data because the raw data is not available, but the article had a point:

1.) Employment-population ratio for Black over 20 is 58.5 compared to 68.4 for white men;
2.) 50% of all Black males are employeed as white collar (includes government).
3.) 19.7% of all Black are employed by government compared to 14.5% all other. (initial research is that black males approaches 25%. This is most likely civilian labor but not verified.
4.) Police obviously makes up part of the government employment. I can't find the police employment of Black vs other but large gaps exist in education and public services. The means that black are choosing government field other than police.
5.) Blacks employment in Military generally exceeds population ratio.

All this means the poll of available Black Males to serve as police officers is very few.

Nah, impossible, they had no quality so it could not decline, regardless of what they did. They were at rock bottom even before they went out and hired the “Reverend’ Al Dullthud. That is like the talk of Obama losing his credibility, ain’t no way you can lose what you ain’t never had.

It’s a tad more complex than Coulter makes it sound. Lott found that affirmative action (lowering standards across the board) kicked crime rates up considerable, but norming (lowering standards for a particular group, like lower strength requirements for women) “had much less harmful results.” (John Lott, Freedomnomics p. 131)

Coulter is correct that he says it hurts the most vulnerable — “Ironically, affirmative action consent decrees cause the biggest spikes in crime in poor African American neighborhoods — places already plagued by terrible crime.” (p. 132) Lott also believes that “the sharp increase in accidental police shootings” is related to lowering strength standards and hiring more female officers.

I thought the whole “Crime and Punishment” chapter in that book fascinating. Worth a read.

80% of blacks that are killed by cops are killed by black cops.

To get more of MSNBC's "voices of oppression" on police forces, requirements are reduced for all recruits. (Just as quality declined at MSNBC when "voices of oppression" had to be added to their lineup.)
