Women Can't Pass Test...
Physical test
That's right, Holder's DOJ is suing the PA State Police because they say the physical requirements to be an officer are discriminatory, especially against women.

So the anti cop people have figured out a way to combat what they see as a police brutality epidemic....Make all cops women.

There's a difference between being anti-cop and anti-jackbooted thugs.

RE: Women Can't Pass Test...
Let's just point out something:
Quote:From 2003 to 2008, 94 percent of male applicants passed the fitness test, while 71 percent of female applicants passed. Under a similar test administered in 2009 through 2012, 98 percent of male applicants passed, while 72 percent of female applicants passed, the lawsuit said.
So, what is the problem. Women are less suited to physical demands than men on average...that's a fact...so, I would expect less women to qualify than men. And, there is a need to be physically fit to do the job (imo other jurisdictions need to add this requirement as some of their officers are a bit out of shape). Apparently 3 out of 4 made the cut, which is great.

There's a reason women aren't Navy SEALS, Army Rangers, or NFL linebackers.
