One of the problems is that the good ones are overshadowed by the ones that are propped up. When a woman or minority is promoted, the ones that really deserve it are lumped in with the ones that didn't. I worked with a Black Sgt was that was a ten. One of the best cops I've ever been around. He made Lt. after I retired and from what I hear, is still highly regarded. And when he sees another Sgt we both know who is Black and illiterate, his blood boils more than mine. He studied hard and earned his place on the list. Someone either took the test for the other guy or they changed the grade. No way could he pass the written test.
But it's so ingrained into the culture of the department that it's just accepted now as reality. Everybody there now has never worked in any other environment.
