Dayton's News Source :: Top Stories - Civil Service Board Announces Police Recruit Scores

So, how do you find more blacks that can pass a civil service test?  Low “passing” to a grade equivalent to an “F” or a “D”.  Sweet!!  So says Eric Holder and the Big “O”.

 

Dayton's News Source :: Top Stories - Civil Service Board Announces Police Recruit Scores

DAYTON -- The Dayton Police Department is lowering its testing standards for recruits.
It's a move required by the U.S. Department of Justice after it says not enough African-Americans passed the exam.    
Dayton is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees.  The hiring process was postponed for months because the D.O.J. rejected the original scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board, which administers the test. 
Under the previous requirements, candidates had to get a 66% on part one of the exam and a 72% on part two.
The D.O.J. approved new scoring policy only requires potential police officers to get a 58% and a 63%.  That's the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’

iowahawk: Longhorns 17, Badgers 1

Interesting stats – Wisconsin (union) vs. Texas (non-union).  Worth your time just to see how things work out when data is treated in an honest, forthright manner.

 

iowahawk: Longhorns 17, Badgers 1

Please pardon this brief departure from my normal folderol, but every so often a member of the chattering class issues a nugget of stupidity so egregious that no amount of mockery will suffice. Particularly when the issuer of said stupidity holds a Nobel Prize.

As The Saudi Tanks Roll To Bahrain | RedState

Yes, absolutely true.  We are about to pay a terrible price in the energy sector, which will most certainly spill across our economic landscape.

 

As The Saudi Tanks Roll To Bahrain | RedState

Sadly, President Obama, is worse than evil. He suffers from the Peter Principal and Peter Pan Syndrome in vicious synonymy. He has neither the professional experience in national policy, nor the intellectual honesty to deal in fairness with adverse facts. Data that contraindicates his ideological fantasies that command and control economics can work simply doesn’t exist in his magical world. In Obamaland, political oratory marks the very day on which the levels of the oceans begin to recede.

Financial terrorism suspected in 2008 economic crash - Washington Times

Why is this just news now??  This was talked about quite a bit in early October 2008.  It had to do with a targeted run on “money markets” and then was simply squelched.  It always seemed like the Bush administration knew more but thought it was too risky to tell the common folk.

A few links:

””Money Market Run” – 9/17/2008

”Run Ends on Money Market Funds” – 9/29/2008

”How the World Almost Came to an End on 9/18/2008” – 2/8/2009

There are more, but this was no surprise to the old or new administration.
