See I believe that the supervisors who deal with these people every day, who know their weaknesses and strengths are in a much better position to determine the promotabiliy of a deputy more than some jackass from NAACP headquarters. To the NAACP guy the candidates ONLY qualification is that they are black. |
First...this is not a black thing....let's just set that straight. If you think that the NAACP is only concerned for blacks...you're uneducated.
Second, there have been MANY qualified applicants (regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, ect.) that have applied for promotions in St. Mary's County and have been looked over for "good ole boys". I have close friends who work as deputies in this county and they share the same complaint...)the new deputies and the ones that have been on the force for years say the same thing), it's all in who you know and kiss up to. NOT KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE. So...just how do you suggest that that the BEST person get the job and gain experience IF the mentality of the people who hold the power positions doesn't change???
