Seems like a pretty open-and-shut case of discrimination, especially since the city has settled on multiple lawsuits over it, but then again the method they're using is 40 years old and that doesn't seem to have stopped them yet so it might get thrown out.

What were the scores of the promoted sargeants compared to the pales here? And what about their language/people skills?

If race factored into someone not being promoted, then we need to investigate this.

Mullanax said that in 2016, the department promoted three black sergeants, even though their scores were lower than those of 11 white candidates who were denied promotions. If it were one black cop getting the promotion over 11 higher scoring white men, you could chock it up to him being some sort of stellar candidate. But when it's 3, it seems like clear race-based discrimination. --- - The Admiral ... Copied to Clipboard!

Bishop9800 posted...Machete posted...Sounds like these white males were just not good enough to get promoted and now they're all "waaaaaaaahhhh racism D:" I read it. They aren't judged strictly by score. They were probably garbage in the other intangible criteria used. I doubt they would, for example, promote someone with a 90% with several complaints against them from members of the community over someone who scored 82% but was well liked within the community and had no complaints and lots of praise. It is pretty narrow minded not to consider such factors when looking at this situation and just jumping to "AnTi-wHiTe RaCiSm!" --- Place-holder sig because new phone and old sigs not saved :/ ...

What were the scores of the promoted sargeants compared to the pales here? And what about their language/people skills? I'd like to know the details on what they measure in these test. The the white officers have shown that they were more qualified overall then they have a case. However if the ones that did get promoted got them with their test scores alongside other reasons such as their reputation among the the officers and citizens or any other positive performance, the other officers need to step their game up. --- The 17th King of the State of K ...

I like how many people are acting like the test score is the only factor when the article itself says it wasn't.

You act like there isn't already precedent against San Fran for this exact issue though.... AmericaTheBrave posted...
