Too stupid to be a cop? Move to Dayton!

Walt has always thought that "police intelligence" is the ultimate oxymoron. How smart do you have to be to eat donuts and occasionally taser an innocent civilian just for the hell of it?

But in Dayton OH, already low standards for admission to the local constabulary are being dumbed down still further, by order of the US Department of Justice. Why? Because the feds reckon not enough African-Americans were getting through the exam. No surprises there.

ABC's Dayton TV outlet reports that the Dayton P.D. is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees. However, the hiring process was postponed for months because the Deptartment of Justice rejected the original test scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board.

Under the previous requirements, candidates had to get a 66% on part one of the exam and a 72% on part two. The new politically correct scoring policy only requires potential thugs [police officers, surely! Ed.] to get a 58% and a 63%. That's the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’.
