>A man was denied his dream job in the police "simply because he was a white, heterosexual male", his lawyers said after Cheshire Police was found guilty of discrimination.
>Matthew Furlong, who hoped to follow in the footsteps of his father - a serving detective inspector in the same police force - had applied to join in 2017. The 25-year-old passed the interview stage and said he was told "it was refreshing to meet someone as well prepared as yourself" and that he "could not have done any more".
>However, the applicant - who studied particle physics and cosmology at Lancaster University - was later told he lost out to other candidates, prompting his father to file a complaint. Mr Furlong has now won an employment tribunal case, which found Cheshire Police had discriminated against the applicant on the grounds of sexual orientation, race and sex.
>The tribunal ruled the force had used positive action - where steps are taken to recruit specific groups - in a discriminatory way.
>"Matthew was denied his dream job simply because he was a white, heterosexual male," said Jennifer Ainscough, an employment lawyer at Slater and Gordon. "This is the first reported case of its kind in the UK where positive action has been used in a discriminatory way. Matthew's courage in speaking out will hopefully ensure it is the last. Had he not been such an exceptional candidate he may not even have suspected anything was wrong and this unlawful and unacceptable selection process may have been allowed to continue."
Even in winning they couldn't call out affirmative action for what is. Unlawful and racist. Sad

With this legal precedent we should be able to protect ourselves better from leftist bullshit in employment.

>It ruled that positive action should only be applied to distinguish between candidates who are equally qualified for a role.
>The tribunal ruled the force's claim it saw 127 candidates who were equally suitable for the police constable role was a "fallacy", saying an artificially low threshold from giving candidates either a pass or fail rather than a score was not a proportionate way to boost diversity.
The real question is why would a white heterosexual man(male) would want to join the bong police?

>i cant imagine any uncucked male wanting to be a police officer in this climate I would not want to be a White police officer having to shoot or use physical violence against a Black. A lot of things would be going through my mind. It would have to affect the way you do your job and stress levels.

>Unlawful and racist It's sexist and racist. Sexist, because he's male and straight, and racist because he's White. It's discrimination. But I ask these guys, why would you want to serve a country that hates you? Fuck them.

So where's the part about him still not gettingthe jobeven after they acknowledge why, and the round about statement where they say its okay to discriminate against heterosexual white men?
Thomas Baker
No, they deserve it for Oliver Cromwell allowing the return of the Jews.
What's so scary about fighting and savaging foes who violate the NAP ? Why are so scared you memeflaggot ?

>"This is the first reported case of its kind in the UK where positive action has been used in a discriminatory way. when he hire on race and gender quotas it means someone more qualified is being passed over for being the wrong colour. that's always been the case, every business by law has to turn down people who aren't helping them meet the government mandated racial and gender quotas.
Levi Harris
He's a British cop. No force or violence involved. Just polite requests for loicenses, and confiscating tools.

Nicholas Reyes

never be allowed to arrest muslim rape gangs. have to fight chavs and drunks on a weekly basis.
Caleb Reed
No idea why it has taken so long for this to reach the news. Police have been anti straight white male for a few years now. I've worked very closely with the Police in recent years and all the new Constables are basically either women, black or black women.
Fuck it anyway. Police are worthless these days.
Ryan Adams
Didn't your police start asking random bystanders to step in if they see a police officer getting their ass handed to them?
Brody Wilson
Nah, they asked bystanders to stop filming when they're being bullied
