I think the Lakers and Dodgers rosters should reflect the ethnicity of the city they represent.

Justin,
Did the JDIC that Further to Follow refers to go out? Was the content of it what he said it was? Did he say anything that is factually incorrect? If he stated the truth why are you killing the messenger? Maybe because it’s not PC to say what he said. I thought cops were above the foolishness of PC’ness. I guess I was wrong.

Further to Follow stated: “And don’t say these comments are racial”. It’s hard to take your statement any other way as people like you only seem to concern yourself with hiring standards when it comes to women and minorities as if all white male personnel are always qualified. Sorry pal, but I’ve been around long enough to know better than that. I don’t think that we, members of the LASD, need to contend with this sort of divisive language at this moment in our Department’s history. We need to stick together in a common cause to overcome the damage that has been done to our reputation and to rectify the unwarranted damage done to the innocent.

Krauthammer On Drones Flying In US: "Stop It Here, Stop It Now" "I'm going to go hard left on you here, I'm going ACLU," syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer said in opposition to the use of drones on the U.S. homeland. "I don't want regulations, I don't want restrictions, I want a ban on this. Drones are instruments of war. The Founders had a great aversion to any instruments of war, the use of the military inside even the United States. It didn't like standing armies, it has all kinds of statutes of using the army in the country."

And if you don’t believe that, look at the recruiting JDIC that went out asking all of us to find that perfect applicant to meet our growing demographic changes in our county. Really? So a hispanic can’t work walnut, a caucasian can’t work south la, but instead, lets hire the mediocre that fit their race and place them in the appropriate jurisdiction.

This sickens me and only more sworn personnel will be relieved or fired because we didn’t do the right thing, but instead humped the leg of tradition of service.

Here’s a big hint for LASD. Stop the crap hiring based on minority, gender and whatever else they dream up. Everytime I go to personnel, all I see is these idiot applicants, texting, mad dogging people when they walk in, but hey, if you meet the hiring quota and federal mandate you’re in.

I think the Department should do a demograghics study of the last 3 years of candidates, their backgrounds, and see where all the current issues lie. Kinda like the MCJ asses throwing gang signs. Just like the varrio they live in.

And don’t say these comments are racial. It’s reality, but the cowards throw the race card when they have nothing else to hang their tan and green on.

A better idea would be to make the minimum age for Deputy 25. they can be a C/A CSO prior to that for experience. Lack of maturity and life experience is a bigger problem than a lack of education among the new deputies.
