Despite PBA Fears, City Succeeds with Gentler Touch in Parks

Now if we could just eliminate 80% of the patrol cops, who have nothing better to do than harass innocent citizens, and ad a few more detectives, maybe the scared, stupid, lazy, sadistic police, might actually get up off their fat asses, and go out and find some stolen cars.

Portland State University consists of lots of tall buildings covering many city blocks and is lit and heated, 24 hours per day. Why not open up the Peter Stott Center and let the bums sleep on the floor at night, get up and take showers in the morning? The PSU Safety Patrollers could watch over everybody to make sure that they all sleep safe and sound. That way, those rent-a-cops wouldn't have to be going around campus all night, searching behind dark shrubberies for bums to beat up.

Did you even bother to check the link?
There is no link for "programs".
These work, however.
http://www.pdx.edu/extended-campus/student-information
With hundreds of students across the United States, and three majors
to choose from -- Social Science, Arts & Letters, and Liberal Studies
-- our student body is as diverse as our course offerings.

By the way, 'information' and 'review' are the correct
spellings for the words you misspelled, "Doctor".

The so-called, "Public Safety Officers" of Portland State University, seem to be under the misguided opinion, that they are real police, only they just don't don't bother to identify themselves as such. Secret agents, I suppose? At any rate, they are incompetent and abusive.

San Francisco State University, however, has the good sense to employ actual California State Police to protect the students. Those officers are helpful, friendly, courteous, and they mind their own fucking business.

For that matter, the security guards at PSU used to be student workers. They did a great job of locking up and providing requested directions. If there were an actual emergency, they had the good sense to call the police rather than foolishly attempting to take the law into their own hands. Not only that, they worked cheaper than the abusive so-called, "Public Safety Officers;" even cheaper than the undocumented workers that half-assed sort of clean the place. Come to think of it, the janitors used to be student workers, too.

If the so-called, "Public Safety Officers" were actually real police, wouldn't they arrest the illegal aliens who are in the building at night?

There is no Equity pursuant to the 14th Amendment. Americans are getting kicked out of the public park blocks and Portland State University, while illegal aliens are being harbored there.

A man whose bid to become a police officer was rejected after he scored too high on an intelligence test has lost an appeal in his federal lawsuit against the city.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower court’s decision that the city did not discriminate against Robert Jordan because the same standards were applied to everyone who took the test.

“This kind of puts an official face on discrimination in America against people of a certain class,” Jordan said today from his Waterford home. “I maintain you have no more control over your basic intelligence than your eye color or your gender or anything else.”

He said he does not plan to take any further legal action.

Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training.

Most Cops Just Above Normal

The average score nationally for police officers is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an IQ of 104, or just a little above average.

Jordan alleged his rejection from the police force was discrimination. He sued the city, saying his civil rights were violated because he was denied equal protection under the law.

But the U.S. District Court found that New London had “shown a rational basis for the policy.” In a ruling dated Aug. 23, the 2nd Circuit agreed. The court said the policy might be unwise but was a rational way to reduce job turnover.

Jordan has worked as a prison guard since he took the test.

First of all, it’s a little stupid to claim that because he scored too high on the intelligence test, he would get bored with police work. There is so much wrong with this…I’m just going to jump in it in no specific order.

1) How do they know he would get bored? This sounds more like a psychological profile than it does a limitation on intelligence. In fact, maybe because he’s so intelligent, he would actually like the job better and perform better than his peers. Maybe that’s what the police in New York (and their terrorist union organization) are afraid of?

2) Being smart does not mean you’re automatically going to get bored with being a police officer. Highly intelligent people often like doing monotonous work because it takes their mind off of constant thinking and challenge. It allows them to relax a little. Being smart is not a toy they play with - it’s who they are inside 24/7. It can be a burden. You see, it contrasts their personality which makes this type of work such a nice fit. Occasionally, the job may provide opportunities to utilize those special talents that he has. To me, turning this man down for having such a high intelligence is equivalent to turning a man down because he has x-ray vision. Like the court said, “it’s not wise”.

3) High intelligence should be a prerequisite for ANYONE who has the purported authority to arrest, imprison, assault, and kill you. That one is a no-fucking-brainer.

4) If they’re using psychology to evaluate police officers, yet so many are prone to failure, corruption and criminal behavior, perhaps their psychological exams are complete bullshit? Or maybe they want bad people to be cops. Though, it’s worth pointing out that psychology and psychiatry are NOT sciences.

5) You’ve got to have a raging, steroid brute sometimes, don’t you? Unfortunately, it seems we have mostly brutes for police officers and very few of them with brains. After all, police departments operate like businesses. Having too many intelligent people on board is bad for business because it reduces waste. “Waste” in this conversation is better described as “surplus funding”.

6) The guy said that most officers score just above the national average. Please take into consideration that it’s the only answer they CAN give. Consider what it would look like if they said “Most of our officers score below the average”. Of course, that would be embarrassing. They can’t actually say “most our officers score well above the average” because then we would all know they are liars. They can’t say “We show the same average as the rest of the country” because that would still be less than impressive. Their response that the average intelligence of their police officers is just a little above the national average says that they’re not anxious to improve that rating and that they seem to be content with a mediocre score.

Personally, I think they’re lying. It’s always about the money.

Interesting article, there, Dim. You know it sort of got me to thinking. It's just like how the positions of PSU security guards used to be held by students. Maybe the student's were too smart to be guards; they'd listen to reason? I doubt if the PSU Safety Patrollers have college degrees. The even qualify for free tuition, but do they bother to take advantage of that big perk? It's also strange, how the president of Portland State University is never a graduate of PSU. It's almost as if no graduate of Portland State University is ever good enough or smart enough to be president of PSU. Or maybe it's that they have too high an IQ?

Where do people that have stuff, get off defining people who don't have anything, but what they don't have? The so-called, "Homeless" don't have a place to go. Many of them just want a place where they can go to be left alone. The last thing they need is some touchy-feely, Mr Green Jean "connecting" with them and feeling them all up, or else spraying them with pepper spray, butt then, what else can you expect, with a fascist pink mayor, like that pecker sucking you know who.

Psalm 10:8

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

(King James Version)

Come on, everybody hates the poor, because it reminds them of what they are one paycheck away from becoming themselves. People would rather submit to paying exorbitant property taxes on their over valued homes, and let the government slowly strangle the poor to death with bureaucracy.

It's illegal for the poor to even sleep.

You can miss a few meals, but how long can you go without sleep?

The solution is not to round up all the poor and coral them into close quarter where they are likely to all turn against each other. It would be more merciful to simply but them all out of their misery faster.

Damned good thing they're found the money for fluoridating the water, though.

You retards can't even make proper use of English grammar. Where did you go to school; PSU?

Two cops named Eric Carlson and John Ray committed a break in near 87th and Division st in s,e, Portland Oregon and they killed a child and they poisoned residents coffee pot!
Portland police covered up victims 911 calls and emergency visits to the OHSU hospital and local news media is mums the word on this.
18
OHSU covers for the PSU Safetypatrollers, as well.

Denis C. Theriault is a total pussy. What a fluff piece. He obviously is afraid of getting his hands dirty. He didn't even bother to interview street people for the article. All he did was contact another news paper to see if they had heard any news reported to them. Used to be that reporters went out and investigated for a story, rather than sitting back, and waiting for special interest groups to come to them with propaganda that they wish to have promoted.

I hereby challenge Denis C. Theriault, to spend thirty consecutive days and night, sleeping outside. You can spend some time in a shelter if you prefer, but at least one week of the 4.3 in the park, or in doorways, or on a porch somewhere, might be the most comfortable. No cheating by going into the office to clean up or to take a dump. You can eat at the Blanche House, St Francis Dining Hall, or the like, but you can't start out carrying any money at all. Most importantly, when you get harassed by the pigs, there's no telling them that you're a journalist, because you're NOT.

Doo be careful. People must be pretty desperate to actually sleep in the park with all that dog poop everywhere. Dog owners could give a shit about the off leash areas. They just let their weapons run freely where ever they want. Even the masters who keep their dogs on a leash, let the leash out as far as it will go. They do not have their dogs under control. How many citations are written to them, Denis?
21
Go job hunting without a cell phone. Just use email at the public library.
22
Try to obtain replacement ID with no money, and no ID. Try to get a replacement Social Security card, without ID. Try to get a job, without a Social Security card and ID. Seriously.
23
Nice to hear how what a big success the City is, though, at the expense of the Poor.

Please wait...
