“Just like our police forces, the Government hires unqualified low IQ types who would not be able to hold a job anywhere else, overpays them, and gives them the power over others.”
That is a blanket statement about police officers that simply isn’t true. Good grief.
In point of fact, the police departments give tests and weed out those above a certain IQ.
The very intelligent are likely to exercise judgment - such officers are not what a department wants. Especially, a department which is invested in the statist “Ubermenschen” attitude all too prevalent today.
Above what IQ? Where did you get this information?
"The very intelligent are likely to exercise judgment - such officers are not what a department wants."
Don't know where your line of "very intelligent" might be. I'm not talking about officers being genius. Police work is a constant flow of making judgments. You never know what you're going to roll up on or be faced with. Then you get into investigations and you have to be able to think.
Have I known dumbass police officers? Yes. But I've also been acquainted with a number of extremely capable individuals. Perhaps it all depends on where one lives.
