Officer Sean Bostwick has been FIRED from the Detroit Police Department for his highly insensitive snapchat post!!

He was suspended first with pay but now Chief James Craig said he has been removed from the force effective immediately

He voluntarily removed his racist post but it was already shared across the internet and he had no choice but to fire his behind.

Sean says he was extremely sorry for saying what he did but didn't mean to come off the way it did and said he's NOT racist..

However, Craig said that his "reasoning certainly didn't pass muster. I mean, what were you trying ot say? What was the true intent of your statement? Highly insensitive..Our officers were deeply troubled by him making these comments".

He's only been working there for TWO MONTHS because he had to take the academy TWICE before finally being accepted.

According to Dailymail, he did not pass the academy because of LOW TEST SCORES as his written tests on his knowledge were fairly low and he barely passed the second time. Further back shows that his high school education scores were also low as Sean did not do well there either.

Do you think you need to be relatively smart and have an education to be a police officer?

So he said zoo animals and everyone assumed he was talking about non-white people? it's like saying "fat" in public and people automatically assuming you're talking about them.

That doesn't sound racist to me, but it's probably not a good attitude for a cop to have either.

Considering he misspelled "wrangle," I get the low test scores bit. (Unless it autocorrected to mean the disgraced politician Charles Rangel, seen below.)

To be a detective, maybe. Beat cops don't need that much education.

Zeus confuses facts with bias.

I'm not sure if he's still fighting the good fight for re-defining the meaning of the word "casualty" or he's finally decided to slink off into the night and try to pretend the debate never happened.

Says the guy who literally wanted to redefine mass shootings purely for propaganda and was startling upfront about it. And of course you of all people would defend BAD's silly anti-cop gimmick. Otherwise there's no confusing that you eschew the facts every time in favor of the most ridiculous biases.

I guess I should expect that a guy who never gets out wouldn't be familiar with colloquial usage and, more importantly, a guy who can't argue against the other points would seize on this one.

I had initially missed the link when I first responded, but it doesn't change the fact that he's been going hard on that anti-cop bias for a while now (including a long string of cringeworthy statements in that other cop topic). If you want anything negative about cops, you can turn to BAD for it.

As for the broader issue of "intelligence discrimination," part of a recruiter's job is to evaluate how likely a candidate is to stick around which is why people who are overqualified for jobs in some form often lose out to less-qualified individuals. And, of course, this was a single police department's policy whereas BAD's wording implies that it's a national trend.

If you read the article the average IQ is 104 putting cops above average for intelligence and the guy who was rejected had an IQ of 125 which is 95th percentile. So really it's more like being dramatically smarter than than the average citizen is a dealbreaker for hiring which is a bit different than saying being intelligent in general.

You could just as easily attribute it to departments worrying about attrition as you could assuming they don't want smart people for nefarious reasons. Extremely smart people tend to have a lot more options than average or slightly above average people and it isn't cheap to train police. Hiring people who will be gone next week when they line up a better job isn't good. It's the same reason why lower skill jobs don't want to hire people with Ph. Ds. Sure it'd be nice if cops could all be patriotic, passionate geniuses, but unfortunately that's never going to be the case.
