@Sqad- - It doesn't stop you having an opinion, Sqad, nor expressing it - I would not dream of attempting to deprive anyone in such a way :
But any opinion is essentially a statement of perception rather than necessarily the truth or otherwise. Thats why generally I would prefer an opinion supported by an objective and robust evidence base:)
As a (retired?) surgeon, you would no doubt have had to change or update procedures based upon the objective evidence. It should not be considered heretical to challenge tradition. Equality for all, regardless of gender or ethnicity should be something all of us should embrace - not feel threatened by.
Across England and Wales,only 4.6% of the police force come from black and ethnic minority groups compared to around 9% of the population as a whole; In London that situation is even more disproportionate. There is also data to suggest that they are less likely to be promoted than their white counterparts, and more likely to leave early. There are numerous complaints of racial discrimination from within the Police Service; You cannot dismiss all of them as simply disgruntled or disaffected individuals playing the race card.
And as far as I am aware, there is no suggestion that the fundamental requirements of being a police officer - fitness, intelligence, etc are being subverted to allow more candidated from minority backgrounds to be recruited.
