From the article:

"Most Cops Just Above Normal The average score nationally for police officers is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an IQ of 104, or just a little above average."

This has got to be a joke. Did this come from "The Onion"?

If it is true then there is no hope for America.

Man, I hate to go through the old "Dis be shit and dis be Shinola" routine when I get pulled over.

It's simple, really. Smart people question authority and the reasoning behind things, people who are not so smart just go along with it simply because "it's a law." without thinking about it or doing a little digging into the legalities of the law.

It's a damn shame that there's even a NEED to look into the legalities of a law. What's even more sad is that I can provide evidence for everything I've said here, and it's not an opinion.

Put another way, say a guy with a college degree gets laid off and needs a job, any job, to help pay his bills. There are a LOT of people who won't hire him because hes over qualified.

This isnt anything new.

"A man whose bid to become a police officer was rejected after he scored too high on an intelligence test ... "

Holy shit, lmfao!!!

You'd be surprised how many decent places won't do an extensive enough background check to find all the stuff you have. I hope most of those people know to just leave the overqualifications off the resume'.

Hood rats question authority and the reasoning behind things by wearing their pants down around their knees, so they must be considered smart people according to your criteria.

Courts may have just now jumped on the bandwagon, but departments have been doing this for the last 15 years.

Were you making an effort to commit a word-for-word logical fallacy?
