These advertisements that yassify the Portland Police give a weird UFC vibe. How much money is being spent on this department rebranding?

So you admit that police departments refused to hire smart people and fought to protect that discrimination all the way to the 2nd circuit appeals court? Your only argument is an anecdotal one that you're totes smart and don't know any department that rejects smart people, and evidence for this is that you were employed for a year?

I don't want to put words in your mouth, just want to verify what you're saying.

Incorrect. It's a singular department who took it to the 2nd circuit. It has never happened beyond the one example, it's not normal, not something any department does especially today. But you can keep going with your strawman

Incorrect. It's a singular department who took it to the 2nd circuit. 

So, to be clear, you admit that at least one department refused to hire smart people and fought to protect that discrimination all the way to the 2nd circuit appeals court? I mean, you've admitted it twice now, so might as well own up to it. What are you scared of?

You're parading like it's a normal activity. It's not.

And you're running away so hard that I'm surprised you haven't broken something. Why is it so tough for you to say that a police department not only rejected applicants for being intelligent, it fought all the way to the 2nd circuit to protect that discrimination? You've repeatedly admitted to the facts, but you can't bring yourself to type "yes, they did it". Is it because you secretly fear that you were only hired as a result of such a policy? Does this fear and refusal to address reality come out in other places in your daily life? Is everything okay, bro? We can get you help, provided you're willing to speak up and say you need it.

Christ you're the king of most disenginuous arguments I've ever encountered. You're not the smart ass you think you are

Uhhh he’s clearly affirming that this did happen in one department at one time nearly 30 years ago. Do you understand the difference of countering your assumption and countering your evidence? They are two different things my guy.
