Actually before they were swat most were military and you would never call them low IQ.

Of course guys that sit in cubicles all day can talk like that right?

Wrong, most cops are two damn lazy to be in the military, and yes, I have seen the military entrance grades give to military people that become cops. Let’s just say they become cops because directing traffic does not take any brain power.

"Actually before they were swat most were military and you would never call them low IQ."

I have a a high degree of respect for our armed forces, but -- being a veteran -- I would actually agree that low IQs are more prevalent in the military (and on SWAT teams) than in the total populace.

It is surprising how little IQ is required to be trainable to dumbly follow orders and to lug a ruck and rifle...

As one old sergeant told me, "Boy, you don't want to get out [of the military]. If you do, you'll have to compete with them people out there!"

SWAT members are the lowest-IQ ex-grunts who couldn't compete for real civilian jobs requiring intelligence and a work ethic...
