Why So Few Minority Cops?
No brainer.

Blacks make up only 12.5% of the US population.
The overwhelming majority of cops are male
1/3 of the population of black males over the age of 20 have felony records.
Who knows the statistics of how many blacks have criminal records period.

So I would say that one of the biggest reasons is, many blacks would not get past a background check.

Another interesting statistic: 80% of NBA players are black.

You can't be a cop if you have a felony record.

Also, if you become a cop, they fire you for taking bribes and being corrupt.

That takes a lot of minorities out of the equation.

Interesting read. While criminal record and background check issues may be what is preventing some minorities from being police, I don't but that as the only reason. Not all black people have criminal records. Those who could become police officers simply do not want to join the people who have abused them. Some could say more blacks becoming police officers would change the opinions of white officers about the black community, the the non-blacks on the force could leave them out to fend for themselves while on the beat. Then you have the issue of blacks seeing a black officer as a traitor and threat to the black community. Black comedian Bill Cosby has repeatedly pointed out problems inside the black community that the community needs to work on...The community turned on him and treated him like an Uncle Tom.

When blacks only make up 12% of the total population, have THE highest drop out rates for public school, and THE lowest test scores for math and reading comprehension, only a racist idiot would wonder why there aren't more black cops.

Yet another example of why "equality" and "diversity" is just liberal / minority bullshit designed to discriminate against whites, males, and white males. When a dumb ass "mick" Irish dude from Boston fails his fire fighter exam, it's because he's a dumb ass, but when a minority fails, it's because the test was "biased". When a "Wop" Italian dude can't jump his sorry ass over a 6 foot wall for his police test, it's because he's weak, but when a chick fails, it's a "biased" obstacle due to her gender.

/spit

If a WHITE cop isn't good enough for minorities, then MINORITY cops aren't good enough for whites. Either this shit works BOTH ways, or it DOESN'T work at all.

Lessons have been learned before in regards to lowering standards to recruit women into the FBI. A long while back (many years ago), the FBI reduced marksmanship requirements for women so more of them could "pass" and become FBI agents.

By and large, who do you think most resented the women who couldn't meet the mens' shooting requirements? Answer: the women who COULD meet the mens' shooting requirements. Because they felt like the men FBI agents looked down on them. And they did, because of the special treatment the women were given.

I'm not sure if the FBI still has special, lowered marksmanship requirements for women.

No, lessons have NOT been learned, because the SAME policies are in place today, and females are STILL recruited as if they were "equal" to males, and test standards are STILL being lowered to accommodate minorities, or deemed "bias".

If lessons were actually "learned", then organizations would assess the data available over the past 3 + decades of "womens' lib" bullshit hiring practices, realize that it has been a dismal failure for EVERYONE involved, except females, and they would change the standard and EXCLUDE females in positions they have NO g'damn business being in....like cops, and fire fighters, and soldiers, and ANY other profession that requires the ability to MAN HANDLE people / enemy.

The inclusion of females has not only made organizations less effective, less efficient, and more expensive to operate, due to the female presence, but they have also lowered the over all quality of MALES in those organizations due to the lower standards incorporated to accommodate females.

The same thing applies to minorities that are too fucking stupid to pass a standardized test, or meet the physical requirements of an organization.

Nobody has learned SHIT.

Good morning/evening Buck...I knew you'd immediately think "stormfront". That's your goto defensive strike phrase these days...

And John Lott has not been discredited...except by extreme leftist liberals who won't believe facts.

Unless things have changed, when I was in the military, almost all branches made lower PT standards for females. I could fail a male PT test, but easily passed the requirements for a female...but I still failed. Again, unless things changed, the Marines decided to treat males and females equally. EVERYONE had the same PT requirements based on what males were required to do. If a female passed that requirement, she was equal to the male. If not, she failed. Male, female, gay or straight...if I was down I didn't care who you were as long as you could drag my wounded ass to safety.

Just like a good little leftist, you quote some phrases out of context...

And I don't completely agree with all the comments made here. But most, yes.
