Police departments across the country hire from a pool of applicants for the job. If a person does not apply for the job, that tells me they are not interested in the job. A disinterested worker who's not motivated enough to even apply is not a viable candidate for a job!
As for TV hypothetically having 250 black officers for all of us, so WHAT???? If people bother to apply, go to school and graduate and get licensed by passing the exams, we don't care what color they are. That hypothetical scenario seems to assume that a majority of black officers here would mistreat us because of our color, which would be "prejudice".
