Gay cops
This makes me shake my head.
Recruitment should be based on ability, not sexual orientation. Don't be confused that Police won't favour gays over other applicants when recruiting. It happened with Asians, Polynesians, Maoris and females. I loved this quote:
"By enlarging the police culture, it gives you a better understanding on how we can best serve the communities which we are in."
Here's a message for Lynne Turner: "Why not just serve the public irrespective of gender or sexual orientation"?
Some other doozies:
"We (police) take people on their abilities and not their (sexual) orientation."
Then, how Ms Turner, will you recruit gays if you don't take sexual orientation into account? Of course you will take it into account.
"Ms Turner said the best way of helping gay and lesbian communities was to boost their numbers within police ranks".
No, the best way is to stop writing traffic tickets and get your dipshit Minister and Commissioner off their arses!
Anyhow, maybe gays don't want to join the police. They'll join if they want to serve not because you come knocking on their door.
*Sigh*.
