So... the U.S. DOJ thinks minorities are under represented and those minorities should be allowed to become law enforcement officers utilizing limited background checks while at same time not being required to be U.S. citizens.
This from an Obama agency that has led the way in shredding the rule of law.
Wow. Just as England serves as our coal-mine canary to debunk proposals by American gun banners, the DC Police department was serving way back in 1993 as an example of what we could expect from a newer, more politically-correct progressive America:
"Even with an affirmative action program that adds points to the scores
of candidates simply for attending Washington's public schools (and
not necessarily graduating), many potential officers could not pass
the police academy's tests. So the department changed requirements. In
May, 1985, a recruit at the police academy could be expelled for
failing two exams. Seven months later, the same recruit would have to
fail six exams to be sent packing...
"All this had a predictable effect on the caliber of Washington cops.
'I saw people who were practically illiterate,' says Mike Hubbard, a
detective who spent five years training recruits. 'I've seen people
diagnosed as borderline-retarded graduate from the police academy.’
"Things had gotten worse by 1989, when, in an attempt to fight rising
crime, the city hired nearly 2,000 new officers. 'In our zeal to get
as many new officers on the street as are being demanded,' said Deputy
Chief Melvin Clark, 'we kind of rushed the training process.' That is
a diplomatic assessment. Mr. Hubbard puts it simply: 'We swore in
entire classes - hundreds of people - without background checks.'
"To find out more, I called the recruiting office and spoke with
Investigator Debbie Reid. I explained that I wanted to join the force,
but was worried that my 'extensive juvenile criminal record' would me
that impossible. ’No,' she assured me, 'that alone will not keep you
from coming aboard.' I then told her that, truth be told, my juvenile
record was pretty bad. In fact, I said, I had spent considerable time
in jail for an armed-robbery conviction. Surely that would disqualify
me. Not necessarily, she said. 'It depends on what your disposition
was at the time.'”
