my point is that I don't think you can complain when the advertising of what is wanted is clear, and doesn't match you, and you apply anyway.... what do you expect to happen !?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My point is that it's not fair. Like I said before, imagine the outcry if it said white officers only to apply.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There would be outcry because it is already predominantly white so there is no reason to stipulate that you want more whites...
Whereas advertising for more ethnic officers isn't bad because they are in the minority in the police force. Is that really so difficult a concept to grasp?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I understand the concept. I'm saying its not right, like I said before it should be BEST MAN FOR THE JOB
But if the best man for the force is an ethnic person that would help improve the overall image of the force and, as Chronic says, start to match the diversity of the population, then why is that a bad thing?

yeah but the police is full of white officers.....
surely the police should aim to match the diversity of the population it polices... that's how you get a more respected police force that people will cooperate with more...
not just a race thing, but a class thing too....
forget race... a police force of upper class twaaaats would be a nightmare... as would a police force of chaaavy yobs...
need a mix
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats what happened in Northern Ireland's police force. After decades of it being a predominantly british protestant police force, there was seen to be the need for the police to reflect both sides of the community. Its hard for the police to be respected if they are made up entirely of one side of the community.
Many a friend of mine missed out on a job simply because of their religion, but it was a necessary means to an end.

Its not fair that Britain plundered half the planet for a couple of centuries either. Give it back, and then you can have all the white officers you like, Memphis.

Unfortunately, this is the piece most people either miss, or misinterpret. The candidate hired is always someone who is fully qualified for the position. But where there is the need, lets say, for female officers to perform duties that are best suited to a female, then of course the best qualified woman would likely get the job over the best qualified man.

It really is, it's clear there are elements of this in western society, but you will be told from some quarters that every white person oppresses minorities even without doing anything, oppression by association, that is clearly wrong,.
But to totally deny white privilege exists is also wrong, it does. The media reporting on this shooting is a prime example, immediate reaction is he has mental issues, when a young black male shoots several people (usually black too) you don't hear anything about his background, mental state etc.

If you're a woman that needs to be searched, are you going to be more comfortable with a woman, or a man (bearing in mind that at this point you're generally not already proven guilty, so rights should be respected)

No you clearly can't read things in context.
My statement that they felt terror was in clear CONTEXT of the incident.
If my argument for terrorism is that one must only feel fear then you might have a leg to stand on.

Hippo you are a fool.
What was the purpose of the perpetrators action? It was to target a specific group of people, to promote the perpetrators ideals over theirs. Force them away from their church etc too. That's terrorism, just because something is racist doesn't mean it's NOT terrorism. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
How about you tell us why it isn't terrorism Hippo?

What's it got to do with male and female exactly??
"You now have people making excuses for him, because he was apparently on anti-depressants that MAY cause violent outbursts."
Stating a contributing factor and making excuses are two entirely different things.
Whoever the doctor is that prescribed these medications probably needs to look in the mirror. Too often doctors write out a prescription to keep their patient happy and their appointments on time.

It's a similar concept. You wouldn't get all antsy about them only asked for female officers, would you? Do you understand the need to have gender diversity in the police force?
If so, it's very similar to the need for racial diversity
