White males need not apply?

They do need female officers to do a search of female suspects though, so there could be a legitimate reason

Sensationalism; the article is about the West Des Moines Police force wanting to broaden their applicant pool. No where in there did I see them say "We are only looking for women or minorities." What I did see was;

"We just want as many people to apply so we can start the hiring process."

I guess you can take that as reverse racism, or you could be logical and think the Police Department wants to see applications from all qualified individuals.

Should we just ignore the fact that it might be practical to have a more diverse police force? Heck, I'm white myself and I don't trust Caucasian P.O.'s.

I think the white males of Des Moines have had (and continue to have) every opportunity to join their police force.

I was smoking outside a bar in central London on a Saturday night. There's an old guy causing trouble. He looks 50 odd and not a big build, looks like someones dad, but he's drunk and acting up to one of the bouncers (the smallest of them) has him pinned to the wall.

The bouncers call the police.

Two female officers arrive in a patrol car. They look at the situation. They do not help the bouncers, they just immediately call for backup. A couple of minutes later, two male officers arrive and arrest the man. He looks weak so he can't put up much of a struggle compared to the obviously stronger male police officers. The two female officers stand around watching.

The male officers take the man away in cuffs. Then the female officers leave.

"My tax money well spent on the two female officers", I think to myself.

If these to female officers cannot arrest this guy when he's resisting, they can't arrest any men who are going to resist arrest, as I'd say this guy looked like he was below average physical strength. Despite this the female officers are paid the same as the men. If two male officers had acted like the female officers in this situation, they'd be in trouble for their lack of action. If they repeatedly did it they'd be out of a job.

Some female officers are needed in order to do intimate searches of women, but female officers should be kept to a minimum, or tax payers money is just being wasted.

Hey, reminds me when I tried to get a scholarship to college! Ahh the memories.

I was looking at suicide rates early.

73% of suicides in the United States are WHITE MALES.

I wonder who's oppressed in this country?
