Examples of discrimination against police officers?

I think all police do their job well, but if you see a police officer do their job poorly, people suddenly yell that he is a pig or say dirty cop, and relate them with hanging out at donut shops...\n\nPeople make fun of police if they think the job is not being done well, but if it is done well, we all give thanks...\n\nThat pretty much fits almost any job though doesn't it???

Yes but they won't call it a quota system. most police officers are totally against it. but that is how their job performance is evaluated because the city wants them to bring in the maximum amount of revenue. So, if they want their yearly raise they do it

the biggest problem in this country is a lack of "accountability". Most police officers who are hated are uneducated about the behavioral sciences of the cultures they are sworn to protect. Their ignorance, lack of empathy and fear of what they do not understand, are all due to a system which ignores the need for educational application towards handling people. New york police can be especially indifferent due to their pompous and arrogant facades. I still respect them because they put their lives on the line, despite themselves!

Ask the officers what type of proof they are looking for.

Well one instance comes to mind immediately....\n\nRacial discrimination when it comes to public defense. For example Muslims.  While I personally understand that most Muslims are perfectly good people, there are a select few who "ruin it for the rest". But under our "tolerate and not discriminate" policy we cant just question Muslims because that would be "unfair" so we must question randomly... or question everybody, which wastes time and resources.\n\nSo this tolerance and un-biases-ness causes things to be less safe in my personal opinion. And if you dont consider it to be unsafe then at the very least it is a very big waste of resources and time.

There really isn't any "fair" discrimination.\n\nDo an internet search for "workplace discrimination" "labor laws discrimination" etc., and I'm sure you'll find all the articles you need.\n\nYou can modify your search to include specific terms that will narrow down the results, i.e. age, sexual, racial, etc.

There are some jobs that BME's can get preferential treatment over White British. The Police Force, some Fire Authorities and Civil Service departments for example. Oh I forgot 'under-represented'. Shouldn't it be the best person for the job regardless of colour or which 'group' you belong to?

It's not legal. All police officers, in or out of uniform, have to show ID if asked.

There should be no discrimination. I can do anything you can do, given we both have the same training.

Firstly, let me just say this to you sir: Try riding a motorbike.\n\nPeople are becoming anti the police because the powers that be are making the police anti the people, allow me to ellaborate. When I was a student I did student things like drinking and singing loud. A police officer in the city where I live now has the power to, and they do, as the simplest way of dealing with such behaviour hand out an on the spot fine for anti social behaviour, although they can be challenged when you wake up to find one of these on your pillow next to your fuzzy head I doubt you would. This has two main effects 1 - It effectively makes an officer judge and jury, with leave to appeal (for want of a better way to term this) 2 - It turns the police into that most hated of all human beings, an overgrown tax collector.\n\nNow look at some of the new powers that the police have in relation to youngsters- they can get a dispersal order for a particular area. Meaning that if you stop to tie a shoe lace and you are with a friend in the wrong area you can be picked up and taken home.\n\nNext consider that most hated officer of all and most often the only one the likes of you and me will ever come into contact with: The traffic officer, think of the sheer contempt they treat people with and the (often) blatently sneaky manner in which they do their job. \n\nNow throw in half a dozen media stories into the mix about people being 'framed' by the police and brutal attacks by officers and speak to some people who have had some involvement (in a legal manner) with the police, stir and bring to the boil.\n\nDespite what I say above I know that the police do a lot more than they ever get credit for but from my own PERSONAL experiences of the police ( I have had 2 motorbikes stolen, 1 car, been held up at gun point in a shop I worked at as a student, and been mugged) in all but one of the above situations the police just wanted to get a crime number issued and get out as quickly as they could. \n\nTo sum up I think people are anti police because they have low interpersonal skills, not very good P.R. and because they are simply becoming glorified tax collectors.

Actually when I worked for the police dept, it was against police policy to give a "jump" from the police car.  It can seriously damage the electronics in the police car ( 1000's of dollars worth)\n\nAn officer giving a jump to someone could be wrote up, given a day off without pay or more.\n\nThe police officer will call you a tow truck, or other road service,  they will often call someone else that you want called.

Oddly, the Federal government has anti-discrimination policies in place for civil service employees but not for military.  Very odd!
