For an American having long experience with the “affirmative action” scam, this news report from Germany is a dog-bites-man story. Yes, of course there is a quota, and the system is rigged to push migrant recruits through. And the academy official being interviewed is either clueless or dishonest.

Many thanks to Nash Montana for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Video transcript:

0:00 Of course it’s well known that the Berlin police are in need

0:03 of personnel, and that’s why they’re trying to employ anyone at this time,

0:06 and so they turn a blind eye.

0:09 Lee Roy graduated from his training with the Berlin police academy four years ago.

0:12 Today he is concerned about the future of his profession,

0:15 because he is convinced that standards for new trainees

0:18 during the recruitment tests have been drastically lowered.

0:25 This is very easily explained. They want to raise the migrant quota

0:28 working for the Berlin Police; this is deliberately political.

0:31 And so there is pressure from the top to the bottom.

0:34 And so they had to think about: how do we get more migrants

0:37 into the agency when they can’t master

0:40 the current tests? So they were given a memo with the answers on it,

0:43 so they could pass the tests in any case.

0:50 Lee Roy says the testing questions are available on the internet.

0:53 And should they not pass the exams,

0:56 the initial exam can be repeated over and over.

0:59 These are the accusations against the Berlin Police Academy that

1:02 Thomas Neuendorf has to address a lot.

1:08 First and foremost I want to say that this is really getting on my nerves,

1:11 these anonymous people, concealing themselves,

1:14 without revealing their names, putting out accusations into the world.

1:17 It is very, very hard to rebut these allegations,

1:20 and to see whether

1:23 there is even some truth to these claims,

1:26 and that’s why I find this very sad, and the only thing I can offer

1:29 is that these anonymous people should contact the Academy leadership,

1:32 and to explain these problems

1:35 that in their opinion exist,

1:38 and that way we can find solutions.

1:41 But that is exactly the one thing seasoned police officers don’t dare to do,

1:44 Lee Roy explains. They are afraid of possible negative consequences on the job.

1:50 When you openly criticize, you can kiss your career goodbye.

1:53 You can leave your post; the career ladder ends for them.

1:56 Criticism is not desired, and it is not wanted.

1:59 You have to direct lies to the top so things look beautiful.

2:03 And then Lee Roy shows us how people cheat on those exams.

2:12 It’s known that one of the ways they cheat is that

2:15 some of the applicants take pictures and publish the test questions,

2:18 that there are people who have been deliberately brought in

2:21 who would take these pictures

2:24 and publish them via WhatsApp.

2:27 But is that even possible at exams for trainees

2:30 in the presence of professional supervisors?

2:33 We do ask everyone to leave all aids and tools at the door,

2:36 but we don’t do body searches,

2:39 so of course I can’t exclude that someone or other

2:42 brings in a cell phone or another type of tool.

2:45 And how true is the accusation that the Berlin Police

2:48 wants to increase the migrant component

2:51 at all costs?

2:54 There is no quota. Not for migrants,

2:57 nor for genders. We employ solely

3:00 based on capability and skill.

3:03 It is a fact that many incidents can be defused

3:06 through the understanding of the culture involved,

3:09 also by knowing the language,

3:12 so the fact that we do need help in that regard,

3:15 is of course the main reason we desire

3:18 to employ migrants. Other than that there is no quota;

3:21 the only thing that counts is skill and competence.

3:24 Lee Roy sees things differently. He says that

3:27 the criteria for these entrance exams are being softened more and more.

3:30 They pull those trainees through because they need the quota.

3:33 We need those people in the streets.

3:36 For ten years we didn’t employ anyone,

3:39 and now they realize we’re soon going to have a huge upswing in pensions,

3:42 and so they take what they can get. You’ll see the consequences

3:45 of this in four or five years on the streets, of what’s happening right now.

3:50 A seasoned police officer rebels against his own leadership.

3:53 Who is right?

3:56 And the question remains: will his criticism be heard,
