Minneapolis To Reduce Police Psych Testing After Screening Out Too Many Minorities

Anders Hagstrom Justice Reporter 1:53 PM 12/15/2017

The city of Minneapolis may fire its police psychology evaluator because his tests screened out too many minority candidates, despite already lowering psych evaluations far below the national standard.

The July police shooting of Justine Damond triggered the city to scrutinize its psychological standards for police, with many claiming they’d become lax. Psychiatrist Thomas Gratzer has run psych testing for the Minneapolis police for the past five years, and in that time, he has eliminated four of the five tests used to determine whether a candidate is fit to be an officer, APM reported Thursday. Now, Gratzer is facing firing not for gutting his standard, but for screening out too many minorities.

Mohamed Noor, the officer who shot Damond, is Somali and was one of 200 cops approved by Gratzer’s standards over the past five years, which were already far below the national standard. (RELATED: 150 Minnesota Cops Are Convicted Criminals)

Minneapolis used a more standard five-test procedure up until 2012, and according to a 2004 federal study, those tests worked. The study found that the officers flagged as concerning by the tests were three times more likely to engage in misconduct, APM reported.

There’s no way to verify whether Noor shot Damond due to mental unfitness, but many are calling for him to be charged due to the circumstances of the encounter. Noor and his partner were responding to Damond’s call when she exited her home and approached the police car. Noor claims to have then heard a loud banging noise as someone–presumably Damond–slapped the car.

So more unqualified chain migrators from somalia can kill a white woman.

What could go wrong?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Oh, yes. The city that already hired the crazed Islamic Moslem Somali "cop" who shot to death an unarmed woman standing in her pajamas in her own yard while awaiting for the police to answer her distress call.

They "answered" her call, yeppers.

Good move!

Note to self: Stay out of Minneapolis.

CHICAGO

” Rahm has already been directing his HR people to hire anyone with a pulse and we’ve seen

recruit with Tourettes,
a guy who had to have two targets downrange in order to hit something his lane,
one who couldn’t walk without a cane,
a drunk who made it to graduation day, but was too plastered to shake hands with the mayor,
another aiming a gun at another recruit over an argument

Nice hiring practices Rahm.”

Gee, what could go wrong?

White people are just to civilized, it’s unfair.

Liberalism is a mental defect that kills people.

Ping.

Another major city to check off being destroyed. Let’s see, detroit, chicago, nyc, new orleans, and ? can now be spelled with small letters.

Here in NJ even the Hispanics were too competent; Hispanic men have been removed from the “hire” list. Now the only preferred hires are blacks and women; everyone else needs military veteran statues to get hired. It seems there is no screening process anymore (beyond a criminal background check); competence is irrelevant.

[kearnyirish2]

Just an open effort to grow the fake minority middle class though government jobs; the reality of the private sector is too harsh (has no use for incompetent tokens).

[rdl6989]

Words fail me.

Some big cities deny employment to veterans in order to hire minorities.

St. Paul has been found violating state law for hiring veterans
Applicant was wrongly denied preference for hiring in a repeat offense.
By Mark Brunswick Star Tribune
January 25, 2016 —

For the second time in two years, state officials have found that the city of St. Paul has violated a law that gives veterans a leg-up in being hired for city jobs.

As a result, the city could be forced to reopen the positions under dispute and make new hires, even though it already has filled the jobs.

Critics say St. Paul may be one of the most persistent offenders in violating the state’s Veterans Preference Act, which awards points to veterans and disabled vets applying for city, county or state government jobs.

I know a veteran that was denied a cop job for years because of alleged psychiatric issues (and preferred minorities were hired instead), but he finally landed one. Without that veteran designation, no white guy is getting a government job here in NJ...
