Article here. Excerpt:

'Perhaps Mr Furlong was more qualified than his peers. But then again, he’s benefited from privilege throughout his life. And while he’s perfectly entitled to call out discrimination where he sees it, there are occasions such as these when it is justified and – until real equality is delivered – necessary.'

AA used to say if you have equally qualified candidates, go with the non-white male. Now it dispenses with all pretense and says to pick anyone non-white male regardless of qualification.

Who do you want doing police work? A guy like Furlong or someone who couldn't get a GED?
