I was being sarcastic, of course I am glad to see that they have a black officer (since it is more rare than an alive T-Rex). AK, I will gladly dismiss your argument/statistics. Your stats would be meaningful if only the people who lived in the town could apply, but that is not the case. This town is located very close to the top tourist destinations in Florida, so there are thousands more people just a county a city away. I frequently lived over 50 miles from my employers, and if you were employed at one of those big touristy towns, where would you want to work your part-time job -- a small, a slow department, less than an hour away. It has been my experience that these smaller departments are "training grounds" for rookie firefighters who usually move on to a bigger department after a couple of years.
It amazes me to watch the lengths you guys will go to protect your racist counterparts. Think about it, you are actually defending this department; 2 women in 40 years, and they are not discriminating. AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where is Tnuigs on this one, I know it would kill you to agree with me, but c'mon.
