This issue has nothing to do with race, period. It is about hiring a bad apple on the dept. LMPD at one time had hiring standards now it seems they don't. The Chief needs to step up and stop this guy from being hired. He needs to put Buckner in his place and if he can't take it move him. If this gets through then I have no faith in Conrad as chief. The dept has enough crap going on and doesn't need any more bad publicity and you bet the media will find out and throw it in the dept face.

You should learn how to read. The. problem is now and has always been the favoritism given to those deemed special due to their race, gender or family relations. If you meet their hiring goals or know somebody, they will hire you even if you're a thur or a village idiot. Obviously some see no problem with that system becaus they wouldn't be officers otherwise, even though these officers tend to have a self entitled lazy attitude at best, or get someone hurt at worst. Quotas and relatives should never trump qualifications.
