I’m trying to figure out if Trausti is saying that police departments refused to adequately do their jobs if they were going to be scrutinized for the occasional murder of unarmed black people.
Conclusion assumed in argument.
The problem is most of these "unarmed" shootings are justified.
What does that mean (in relation to this discussion) lower the standards to meet the quota?And yet, white men’s credentials were never considered suspect.
If you’ve got to lower standards to meet the quota, that ought to concern us all.
Because that has been a common "solution" to increasing diversity hires.
There have been times it's appropriate--old standards that have little to do with actually doing the job, and old standards that don't really imply someone is unsuitable (for example, possession of personal quantities of pot.) However, mostly it has resulted in inferior hires.
