Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice (under Obama’s orders) put pressure on Dayton’s Civil Service Board to lower the police recruit exam’s passing test scores because too many black recruits were failing the test.
The original passing scores determined by Civil Service required candidates to answer 57 of 86 (66 percent) questions correctly on one portion and 73 of 102 (72 percent) on the other. The lowered benchmark requires candidates to answer 50 of 86 (58 percent) questions correctly and 64 of 102 (63 percent) of questions on the other. Source
Naturally, the citizens of Dayton (whose taxes will pay the salaries of these unintelligent officers) are outraged at the rule change.
Who wants to live in a city where certain members of the police force (regardless of their skin color) can’t pass a basic competency exam by at least a C minus? If a D is all that is required to pass the exam, why give the exam at all?
