Wild part is police are allowed to disqualify someone from being too smart. There was a candidate whose IQ was too high and they didn't let him be a cop because they knew he'd get bored soon and leave and waste the training money. Supreme Court upheld it.

Anyone applying for a job as a cop whose IQ is too high for the job is probably a mass murderer.

I'd love to see the test questions. Can't imagine they are brain busters.

You’d be surprised what are brain busters when you completely blew off efforts to educate you.

I took some police exams in the 90s. They were very easy. The ATC test was hard.

Please, my moobs reach that far without even breaking a sweat. I may have perspired a little when I had to break out the tape measure to mark the 1.5"

I can think of a couple of very plausible, non discriminatory explanations for the statistically significant differences:

1) Black people applying to be MDSP were statistically significantly less academically prepared for the test, because many of them likely went to public schools in greater Baltimore or greater DC.

2) Women applying to be MDSP were statistically significantly less strong, because women in general are statistically significantly less strong than men.

One component of Critical race theory postulates that if the outcomes are unequal, then the baseline has to be changed until those outcomes are achieved. There’s no such thing as an equal playing field.

Who gives a frick about climate change? We’re going to be a functionally retarded society by the time my grandkids are my age.

This has nothing to do with lawyers, it’s juries.

What kind of verdict do you think a Baltimore jury would return on a case like this? They would gladly bankrupt the state.

You may be able to do this, but not quite as easy as it may seem. Wonder how many on the OT could do it?

When the unqualified candidates who receive jobs because of this inevitably do something horrific, the same police department will be paying more lawsuits.

My God

If you’re trying to be a cop and this isn’t easy then you have no business being in law enforcement

Agreed, just wanted to point out that not everyone could probably do it so easy.

Fitness and written tests for employment are by their very nature, discriminatory. They discriminate against unfit and below average intelligent people, as they should. THAT'S THE POINT!

and in another universe, wife was denied disability Status ten years ago at aged 65 for US FED disability because she, quote the fed, she was too disabled to qualify for disability. You have to work 8 quarter before claiming disability. At age 3 months she had polio that rendered both legs without muscles which prevented her from working the 8 quarters.
Today she is denied a tax credit because her hearing at 15 % of normal does not qualify since we earn 5 thousand dollars taxable income.
