Post #19.What prompted that?
It's bound to happen sooner or later.OMG. Mikkel is correct!
I'm too lazy to go back again and look.It's bound to happen sooner or later.
What was it?

What was it?
I've never had an issue with any cop.
Become a landlord, & you'll get to knowI've never had an issue with any cop.
I recall the IQ issue from a while ago, but recently ran across this article....
Excerpted....Court OKs Barring Smart People From Becoming Cops (Really)
Reader Ryan McCormick sends this amazing story from ABC News. Robert Jordan wanted to be a cop and he applied for a job as such in New London,reason.com
Jordan sued for discrimination but to no avail. Here's what a federal court ruled:
Too smart for police work, "Jordan has worked as a prison guard since he took the test."
@Wu Wei might find it fascinating that even a lowly engineer
would be rejected as too smart to be a cop. An interesting
aspect of the average 104 IQ claim is that this means that
nearly half of cops are below average (100 IQ).
So we're giving a couple hundred thousand below average
intelligence people a gun & a license to kill to civilians.
And this after training that's less than what's required
to be a mechanic, real estate agent, or cosmetologist.

U.S. law enforcement officers 2023 | Statista
How many police officers are there in the U.S.? In 2023, there were 720,652 full-time law enforcement officers employed in the United States, an increase from 708,001 the previous year.www.statista.com
It's been going on for at least a quarter of a century.
Since when did 125 IQ become slightly above average? Which police departments exclude such people? And how do you know that alone was the reason for their exclusion?By this claim, are you arguing that they are all above average?
It's a major problem that they can exclude anyone slightly above
average, eg, the 125 IQ case ruled upon.
What percentage of cops are unaware of these things? And how do you know the ones that appear to not know, do know but are just being jerks and breaking the rules?They aren't aware of enuf.
Many are unaware of (or flout with impunity) even the basic ones...
- We have the right to record in public, including them.
- We have the right to insult them.
- We have the right to speak in their presence, even if they order otherwise.
- They must not search a home or vehicle without a warrant or exigent circumstances.
- They must not use excessive force.
- They must be honest on their reports.
- They've no authority to demand ID unless reasonable suspicion of a crime, or driving a vehicle.
- They've no authority to demand ID from passengers in a vehicle.
- Traffic stops can legally last no longer than required for the citation/warning.
It's simply inexcusable that so many cops are too dumb to do their job properly.
Excessive violence does not equal ignorance of the law. Consider for a moment that the cop is just a jerk. The smartest people in the world can be jerks ya know!@Kfox....
Here's an example of the "above average" cops you're defending.
These dumb lying cops acting incompetently, illegally
(breaking multiple laws) & excessive violence.
And now their department is investigating itself.
Clinically, scientifically, statistically, the average IQ is between 85 and 115.It would depend upon the jurisdiction.
That's just not the case. At all.What if all the top intelligent people are weaklings and scrawny?

Here's the difference. My IQ is 148, amd, yes, I can be a *****. But I lack the power that a cop has and can't totally ruin a life like a cop can.Excessive violence does not equal ignorance of the law. Consider for a moment that the cop is just a jerk. The smartest people in the world can be jerks ya know!
Is that why I've been pulled over for my legal underbidy lights?But cops are aware of the laws they're supposed to enforce.
Must be nice. I've been harassed and put in a couple cruisers because I'm autistic amd those bozos thought I was intoxicated solely based on how I talk.I've never had an issue with any cop.
