Maybe Obama can get some Undocumented Americans to fill those jobs.

Might as well since he loves them so much.

Maybe you're not allowed to have a juvie record, even if it's minor.

Maybe you're not allowed to have felons in your family, even if you have no criminal history.


The mass incarceration of blacks (specifically black males) since the crack era STILL continues to do this day. It's not a "myth" or an "illusion". Many are getting arrested, ticketed and fined for the most trivial nonsense known to man all over the country.

Many police departments don't want you to have any 'blemishes" in your past.

The only blacks who may have a shot at being cops in that miserable backwater town are probably ex-military or returning veterans. Maybe.

:Maybe".... LOLOL

They can't get in on affirmatve action alone, they need to pass certain requirements

Whose fault is that?

I don't know. I was answering Berdee's question on why the feds aren't hiring black police officers instead of dismantling the Ferguson PD.

It was just an OPINION.

Would you happen to know why?

I'd be really interested in your opinion.

Isn't this what I said?

Who said anything about affirmative action?

You either WANT to hire a diverse police force containing everyone or you don't.

Why should there STILL be quotas in 2014 to get a job in America?

I thought we were in a "post-racial" America.

(A) Because you can't be a cop with a criminal record.

(B) Because "snitches get stitches" in the black community.

They have to qualify.

Letting anyone in is just another potential excuse.

Are you saying that all blacks are just criminals anyway.

You're saying that. There's a reason Ferguson is majority black and the Ferguson PD is majority white. Why aren't Ferguson blacks becoming cops? I gave you the two reasons. Refute it if you can. I won't hold my breath.

How many times must I say that they need to pass the BACKGROUND CHECK?


Wouldn't military men qualify? If they're good enough to fight for our country, then they should be good enough to wear a police uniform. Correct?

Veterans just need to pass a psych test and leave with an honorable discharge.

Again, maybe they don't want to live in Missouri. Like seriously, who WANTS to LIVE in Missouri?
