Right now America’s police has fallen to diversity. From being defunded to actively getting more brown in the expense of White people who would actually serve and protect. Black People won’t stop until its nothing more than destroyed and nonexistent because they were too mean to a Black criminal in the 90s.
Maryland in current year is trying to recruit Black females into their state police force in the name of inclusion. One problem they have is that all the Black women who sign up fail the tests and women version of the physical exams. This totally isn’t that Black women are just incapable due to IQ and being overweight, no its that its discrimination says the DOJ who sued the state because Black Women can’t pass. The lawsuit is over and the State has to pay 2.75 million dollars to Black women who couldn’t make the cut.
The Maryland Department of State Police agreed to settle a Department of Justice lawsuit to the tune of $2.75 million, which will provide back pay to female and black applicants who failed the physical fitness and written tests.
The physical fitness exam, called the Functional Fitness Assessment Test, required applicants to complete 18 push-ups in one minute, 27 sit-ups in one minute, run 1.5 miles within 15 minutes and 20 seconds, and reach approximately 1.5 inches past their toes while seated. Candidates were allowed to take the test up to three times in one year.
According to the DOJ’s lawsuit, 81% of males and only 51% of females passed at least once.
“The rate at which female applicants passed the FFAT at least once is statistically significantly lower than the rate at which male applicants passed the FFAT at least once; and the female applicant pass rate is less than 80% of the male applicant pass rate,” the complaint read.
Yep the government now believes that women who legitimately fail at this is somehow discrimination. The written test meanwhile is the same story, they found that Black women don’t have the smarts to pass it than Whites and Black men.
The written exam, the Police Officer Selection Test, included four components: mathematics, reading comprehension, grammar, and report writing skills. To pass, candidates had to achieve an aggregate score of at least 70% on all sections combined and minimally 70% on reading comprehension, grammar, and report writing skills. There was no minimum required score for the math component. Candidates could take the test four times within a year.
The lawsuit said that roughly 91% of white and 71% of black applicants passed at least once.
The lawsuit claimed that both the FFAT and the POST, which are used by MDSP to screen trooper applicants, are “not job related or consistent with business necessity.”
The DOJ argued that MDSP’s screening “results in a disparate impact” on female and black candidates.
“MDSP’s use of the POST has disproportionately excluded African-American applicants, and its use of the FFAT has disproportionately excluded female applicants, from employment as troopers,” the lawsuit stated.
So in the end this doesn’t matter since if the state isn’t changing their rules to take them in anyway they are getting sued and paying the people who aren’t qualified to be police officers. Which in this case is a bunch of money to these failures.
On Wednesday, the DOJ announced that the MDSP has agreed to settle the lawsuit.
Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general in the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, released a video statement, saying, “Maryland State Police discriminated against black and female applicants by using hiring tests that unfairly and unlawfully excluded them from employment.”
“Under this agreement, the police will adopt new tests, extend priority hiring opportunities to previously disqualified applicants after they complete the new and lawful selection process, and distribute $2.75 million in relief to people unfairly disqualified by the old tests,” she continued. “The underrepresentation of black and female applicants in law enforcement undermines public safety.”
A little bonus is that Maryland will end up hiring these Black women to serve so if you are in Maryland you will face Keke and Luquisha at the traffic stop or the home invasion.
As part of the agreement, the MDSP will hire up to 25 candidates who previously failed the tests upon successful completion of the new tests.
Secretary of State Police Col. Roland L. Butler released a statement Wednesday, saying, “The Maryland State Police is fully committed to meeting the consent decree guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Justice and remains fully dedicated to supporting our sworn personnel, protecting our communities, and serving the people of Maryland.”
Better invest in home defense since in the future with these people in the force.
