I am willing to bet that she has disciplined line officers for the same infraction. What happens if she fails the qual course? A regular police officer would lose his/her gun and badge until they can pass. Doubt it would happen to her. If she is a cop, she needs to be held to the same standards that her officers have to follow. I am willing to bet that she has disciplined line officers for the same infraction.

I don't know about growing up here on the West Coast. And I've never been asked that as an adult.

That really happens? Ernie mentioned that his quip about Jackie Chan not winning image awards or whatnot was because he was a martial artist and that was kind of a stereotype. And I will admit that I have certain stereotypes about Asians which I feel are positive (good at math, talented musicians, sexually talented women, etc), I never really assumed that all Asians know kung fu or really are any more likely to know martial arts white people. Joe Piscopo, Chuck Norris, Jean Claude and even Steven Seagal... But....I'm a black guy, (at least for the most part) and I have rarely heard anything about liking chicken or watermelon (though I did marry a white girl and enjoy other positive stereotypes about black men...the few that there are). Do you guys regularly encounter the kung fu stereotype? That just blows my mind. Do you guys seriously get asked if you know kung fu, simply because you are Asian? That really happens?
