Affirmative action hire for this position is stupid

I don't care what her gender is. My concern is if she is competent. If she's sentimental and emotional, things can slip. I'm already challenged with the number of "different" individuals are being rapid hired to the NYPD.

Let's celebrate diversity and inclusion and forget qualifications and safety.

Does anyone know her predecessor? Why don't we know? Why is she advertised? Because of her color and gender?
This should tell you EVERYTHING about her competence and actual merit 🙂

It's not about "the 1st". In her 30 years of service how many WOMEN officers did SHE mentor.
She now needs to rise up and represent in this important position. We shall see.
