Simple Gifts

The interior ministry of Baden-Württemberg is concerned that there are too few Turkish-speaking couch potatoes on the police force, and is planning an affirmative-action program to rectify the imbalance.

Many thanks to JLH for translating this brief news item from Junge Freiheit:

Baden-Württemberg Planning Simpler German Test for Police Officers

The Baden-Württemberg interior ministry is apparently planning a definite simplification of the appointment tests for police. To attract more immigrants to police service, consideration was given to simplifying the requirements of the German test. This was said to be necessary as a response to the rising numbers of poorly educated students, the ministry said to Junge Freiheit.

As a result there was a discussion of whether knowledge of Turkish could be evaluated as a bonus, if the candidates had problems with German. The ministry confided that, since more than 30% of the candidates fail the athletic test, lowering these requirements was also considered.

As early as July, interior minister, Reinhold Gall (SPD) complained that there were “far too few people with an immigration background in the police.” He announced his intention to increase their participation in public service. Since 2007, Baden-Württemberg has been seeking to build more trust in the police among immigrants.

Imagine a Muslim (or a few of them) being tasked with investigating the rape of an infidel slut.

Imagine Muslim policemen passing information on where potential honor killing victims are hiding. Or apostates, or blasphemers, or Jews. Or whatever offends Muslims.

Imagine Muslim policemen siding with Muslim thugs who are involved in crime.

They're all brothers! Their loyalty is to the ummah, are the Germans resistant to learning the obvious?

The Irony is of course, that they are unwittingly proving Thilo Sarazzin right:

In England they have tried this, with horrible results.

We just cannot kill ourselves fast enough can we?

Suggest "dumbing down" - sorry simplifying the requirements for neurosurgeons and then sending all these nice politicians to have their brains examined.
If someone cannot do the job, then there is no reason why we should pay them.
