we need some blind or parapalegic cops.
my friend's dad was president of a very large company... jesse jackson in person went and complained that there were no minorities in upper management and blah blah blah he then told him to hire a black man.....
my friend's dad said he was gonna hire a gay white guy.
hahaha
not a joke

what if the best qualified person to patrol a "gay" neighbourhood with gay bars, and a gay population happens to be a gay cop? what is wrong with that?
there are studies that show that matching authority figures to the demographic of the area is very helpful. if people see cops as one of their own, they are more likely to respect them
do you honestly think sticking a homophobic bigot in that scene will help to enforce peace?

It has nothing to do with not hiring Group A and only hiring from Group B. It has to do with creating a team with various backgrounds (education, experience, languages spoken, etc...) that will help the overall police force prevent and investigate crime. If a certain aspect of the team is lacking, you hire specifically to fill the void. What is the big deal here?

I never said the police force shouldn't hire gay people. I said they should hire the best person qualified for the job. If the gay person is better qualified than a straight person then the gay person should get the job.
Yeah,... sometimes I forget words. I think I read it come back and it's not there. hehe
The interviewer "I'm sorry you don't make the cut"
ie. not getting the job because I'm not a gay.

Either way I can believe that, but just because they are looking for homosexuals doesnt mean they will be placed in homosexual areas..
By your standard then, a black guy in a white neighbourhood wouldnt be as respected or viceversa?

Who ever is the most qualified, or has the best interview/application should be hired.. not based on anything else.
BTW, there is lots of diversity in the Police foundations program (humber and seneca).. maybe take a look. I have 5 personal friends in the program, none of which are white. I was at the school picking up a friend, I saw his class leaving, a diverse group.
Back to my point about being placed in the area, I currently live at Dixon/Kipling in toronto. If you are fimilar with the area, you would know that the area has a large amount of somolians.
about 15.9% in 2001, that has gone up.
Link
You know how many somolian cops are in 23 division? 0. This comes from a friend who went to 23 division on a school trip. 23 division is my local police division.
Now this is not towards you, but to everyone...
What if the police force came out and said they were looking to hire hetrosexual white males? imagine the outroar..
In this case the police force would be racist, that would be terribly wrong right?....
To me, either you think both are wrong or both are right... not one way or the other.
