Is a SWAT Team the Place to Get PC?

Random thoughts…

The ones who will suffer most are the men on the SWAT. They’ll break down the doors, they’ll be the first ones through, they’ll get all risk all the time without rotation. After the action, on the news it’ll look like the women did it all by themselves.

Take the firemen and the fireladies. When women couldn’t demonstrate the necessary strength to pass the original test (one that many men failed) they changed the test. And if you film a training exercise that proves it, kiss that career bye-bye.

A fireman has got to wonder when he looks over at the little firefighter next to him, “Is she gonna be able to drag my unconscious flaming butt out of this place if it comes to that?”

Too bad we haven’t figured out a way evaluate people for jobs without knowing their age, sex, religious affiliation, etc.

I agree that one of the reasons that the state is falling apart is because we aren’t putting the best people in important jobs. Taxpayers are stuck with incompetent services AND the lawsuits that will inevitably erupt.

LMAO every time I see the SFPD chief on TV. At least I think she’s still the chief. Or maybe she’s on RENO 911 now….
