That, Bo Bo, makes you a LIAR. Your lies are not limited to your claims about yourself but that one is without question the most egregious. Why don't you just upload the application and let everyone see it? When did you apply - the month and year? Yes, @Dan Avery is unbelievable with his penchant for facts and truth. It's so irritating isn't it?!?!
@Bo Bo what you are engaging is would be pathetic if it wasn't so frightening.
I said I was black to bring out a point that white people feel they are superior and blacks are all takers. You must not of got the jest of it. Here is the blurb I was trying to get across to you.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsSQtxrw7uU View it and talk to me and I will walk you through it if you do not see what I was trying to get across to you. The police candidate date was approx. Oct. 1994.
Dug out the the police exam review. 11/22/94. The one correction is 97 points for the exam and 5 points for the military so the score is 102 not 105. Sorry.
What is pathetic is your frightening views.
Laughable. You claims that you are in your 70's combined with your claim that you applied in 1994, means that you were in your 50's when you applied. It doesn't make any sense does it, LAPD is all about hiring rookie officers nearing retirement! Your reasoning as to why you lied about your race is pathetic but it does not change the fact that you willfully lied which means that you are a LIAR.
http://www.laalmanac.com/crime/cr70.htm Since there were no figures for 1994, I used the figures from 1983 and 2000 and then split the difference for each racial identity identified: 1983 2000 Difference 1994 Approximate Black 10% 14% 4% 10% + 2% = 12.00% Hispanic 14% 33% 29% 14% + 14.5 = 28.50% Asian 1% 7% 6% 1% + 3% = 4.00% Native American 0.3% 1% .7% 0.3% + .35% = .65%
Still wanna shoot your mouth off? I could use the money, honey!! $1,000.
Set up a meeting place and bring $1,000. If I cannot prove that my score on the police candidate exam was 102 you get my money. If you lack the courage, then try closing that pie hole beneath your flapping gums. You might re read my comment. I did not say that is why I did not get the job. An education might have helped you to read better but alas so goes the world. rsvp
From you 09/10/12 11:37am comment, of you NOT saying that race wasn't why LAPD didn't hire you, a man in your 50's: "I told my friends that after the blacks and Hispanic I MIGHT have a chance of getting the position. That is the way it is set up. The score was secondary to the race." Blacks and Hispanics who were about 40% of the LAPD in 1994, your scores were what didn't qualify you? I guess you need to keep believing that. You've got so much twisting going on Bo Bo I imagine those panties are giving you quite the wedgie!
You claimed my "frightening" views were pathetic and I replied that of course they would be to you - any thoughts using facts, honesty and critical thinking would be very frightening to a liar aka Bo Bo.
Where I come from people plotting against the best interests of the United States are considered terrorists. If these people were in positions of power in the government, then their acts would constitute treason. Imagine if in 2000 a bunch of Democrats got together and had a meeting in which they said that they were going to vote "no" to everything the usurper Bush sent to them. Imagine Faux News hammering them every day for their act of treason. So where was the liberal media for the last three years hammering away on this small group of powerful men, bent on his destruction, who secretly met to design a plan to create economic and political chaos in America? Does anyone remember the American Jobs Act? A year ago President Obama proposed boosting the economy with a combination of tax cuts and spending increases, aimed in particular at sustaining state and local government employment. Independent analysts reacted favorably. But the bill went nowhere, of course, blocked by Republicans in Congress. And now, having prevented Mr. Obama from implementing any of his policies, those same Republicans are pointing to disappointing job numbers and declaring that the president’s policies have failed. So, who were the traitors? And why did they plan the failure of the US?
Why? Think of it as a two-part strategy. First, obstruct any and all efforts to strengthen the economy, then exploit the economy’s weakness for political gain. The who? Eric Cantor (VA), Kevin McCarthy (CA), Paul Ryan (WI), Pete Sessions (TX), Jeb Hensarling (TX), Pete Hoekstra (MI), Dan Lungren (CA), Jim DeMint (SC), Jon Kyl (AZ), Tom Coburn (OK), John Ensign (NV), Bob Corker (TN), Newt Gingrich and Frank Luntz When Kansas Republican state Senator Jean Schodorf watched a discussion of Draper's book and learned about the obstructionist meeting she decided to quit the Republican Party, which her family had been active in since the time of Abraham Lincoln.
We know now, though, that the very same day the world welcomed the new President into office, a small group of powerful men, bent on his destruction, secretly met to design a plan to create economic and political chaos in America for the coming four years, solely for the purpose of regaining the House of Representatives in 2010, and the Presidency in 2012... The conspirators concluded not only would they attempt to win back power by any means necessary, but also they would oppose every policy initiative and every bill of any significance advanced by President Obama, and, by implication, whether the policy or bill forwarded the interests of the American public or not. As we now know, this plan included voting against legislation written and introduced by the Republicans themselves, or formerly supported by Republicans and opposed by the Democrats. As we know now, this agreement included refusing to raise the federal debt ceiling, or, in other words, refusing to authorize payment for expenses the very same Congress had previously voted to incur, which nearly led to a worldwide depression far worse than the "Great Depression" of the 1930's and caused the partial downgrade of America's triple "A" bond status. This all occurred while troops were in the field and the Commander-In-Chief conducted two separate wars, and played a leading role in a third. Treason against America and her people for political gain. Liberal Media? Nowhere to be seen.

What's the up date on the dog poisoner? Remember, if you want backup at the city council, I will cruise down for support. Just let me know.
And I am not voting for Bush or Cheny... lol
I am a Harley enthusiast and the same happened to them. If AMF did not buy them they would of gone down the tank.
Try stating what the subject is instead of attacking others. You have already convinced me to not vote for Bush, Cheny, Reagan, Clinton and others. Welcome to the present...
YOU brought up your not being accepted to the LAPD. YOU wrote, "I told my friends that after the blacks and Hispanic I MIGHT have a chance of getting the position." I replied to YOUR claims. I present numbers representing the racial composition of the LAPD in 1994 (63+%) and pointed out that you were in your 50's. Explain to me how replying to YOUR comment is not staying on subject?
If you were not ignorant you might of said were you kidding about what you said to your friend or were you serious? Instead you went on the attack, with Dan the man. For God sake I WAS JUST KIDDING about what I said. I was just kidding. You had to take it as a vendetta against racial reappointment. I did not. Your remarks are very ignorant and are designed, in my opinion, to inflame the commentators that do not agree with you and your son Obama. Both of you are losers in my book.(my opinion)
You lied about being black, which makes you a liar. You are characterizing being called out on lying a "vendetta"? That's laughable. Take some responsibility for yourself. Quit trying to rebrand your lies and just admit that you lied and you are a liar. There's also the incident in one of your cut and paste frenzies where you willfully left out information that would have undermined one of your arguments. That is a lie too. This isn't about me, it's all about you.
Still he's a fair liar and could give you more skills.
