The only reason the elite MSM promotes the police state (against Americans, not illegals) is because the police PROTECT ELITE RICHERS! Otherwise, it's crap on your head coppers!!! Please WAKE UP, Johnny Flatfoot!!!!
"Security tightened for police promotion exams" by Maria Cramer, Globe Staff | October 18, 2008
Usually police search people's pockets and bags for suspicious objects. But today, officers will be the ones under scrutiny.
About 700 Boston police officers will be screened with a security wand for electronic devices and told to empty their pockets and bags when they take a promotion exam today at Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
The new security measures are being taken nine months after cheating allegations arose about the Boston firefighter promotion exam, leading state civil service officials to scrap the results. An inquiry revealed that numerous firefighters talked during the test, brought cellphones into the testing room, and took unusually frequent trips to the men's room.
How's the tyranny feel when it is applied to you, copper?
The investigation was prompted by an anonymous tipster who alleged that a group of firefighters went into the bathroom during the November 2007 exam and used their cellphones to text answers to colleagues taking the exam.
Of course, it is O.K. to CHEAT, LIE and STAEL when it comes to WAR LOOTING or DESTROYING an economy to get TAXPAYER LOOT!!!
Yeah, I am tired of the agenda-pushing shit in my Zionist War Dailies!
"In the past year, we have reviewed all of our security procedures and updated them," said Paul Dietl, head of the state's Human Resources Division, which administers civil service exams for police and fire departments across the state. Asked whether the new measures were a response to the investigation, Dietl said, "we certainly took that experience and learned from it."
Officers taking today's exam will have to put all their personal belongings in a clear bag and keep it under their seat, according to Boston police. There will also be more security around the restrooms. Anyone caught using an electronic device during the exam will be escorted from the center.
Twenty-five Boston police employees will be at the center to help direct test-takers to exam rooms and assist in administrative work, such as check-ins in for the exam and the handing out of tests, said Elaine Driscoll, spokeswoman for the Boston Police Department. Today's exam is designed to determine which officers are qualified to be sergeants, lieutenants, or captains. --more--"
