You obviously have a deep contempt for flexible, prepared and responsive police departments.

You would probably forbid cops from speaking Spanish even if they happened to know it.

I agree that they should learn some English. But, where would they learn it? All of them are poor, so they never took a foreign language in their schools. The fact is, like it or not, they are here. I don't want them here either, but police in some communities have to speak some Spanish.
Sometimes, reality sucks, so wishing them to disappear just won't happen.

I had a friend, many years ago, who spoke several dialects of his native Russian. When he grew up, he joined the NYPD. It wasn't long before the department discovered his facility with these language, and he was taken out of his Academy class, set up in a surveillance van with headphones glued to his ears, translating the evil plans of no-goodniks in Little Odessa. This he did for five years, and then, in return for his services, he was awarded with a detective's gold shield. He stayed, AFAIK, in OCCB for the remainder of his career.

Knowing some Russian has been a great benefit for me as well in computer security research in tracking down the sources of so many interesting little bits of malware, getting to know who wrote what and then finding them. Search for "apartment block in Moscow" in this article:

Still does not justify forcing cops to speaky Spanish.

This is wrong. Especially against blacks, who as a whole, rarely speak another language.

Pandering to them is not the answer.

Here are the most common languages spoken by Black people living in the US (in no particular order after English):

English
French
Creole
Spanish
Portuguese
Arabic
Swahili
Amharic


Millions of Black people in America are bilingual, as well. I rode in EMS with a Lieutenant who spoke five languages, all with a perfect Brooklyn accent, and he was one of the darkest-hued people of color I've ever known. Where you get your assumptions and generalizations from is still a mystery to me.

I would say most blacks don't.

Some do, but in most cases they don't speak a second language, and policies like these hurt them. Hurt everyone.

Guys, I agree with you 100%! People who want to live here should learn English. But, the reality is that they don't. Police have to deal with real situations with real people. That's why I am for Spanish language training, like this. If knowing Spanish helps to solve or prevent a crime, everybody wins!

Geez. Even around here, they have these little cards with the words for "you are under arrest" and so forth and if the suspect starts laughing when they murder the language, they show them the card and point. :)

In the Miranda v Arizona decision back in 1966, that might have helped.

Just because politicians have created this reality does not mean you have to "go along to get along". Unless you're OK with having QE II's image on the US Dollar, or the image of some other overseas leader?

Yep. Around here, it's a two-sided card plus another one for Chinese and French. Plus they know how to say "Arret" and "Ting." It's really not hard. :)
