The Police Are Still Out Of Control -Frank Serpico

Holy crap. NYPD starts out at 46k. $24 bucks an hour. No way in hell i'd do that job for that pay. efff that.

Intelligent policing means reduced revenues.

Which would result in the cities having to pay more. The job would then attract smarter people.

Yea, just look at Arlington PD and their degree requirement.....

We know they don't want that, since they're actively eliminating people with high IQs from their potential rookie pool.

Proof?

My idea is to set the standard higher, rather than lower. They can exclude an applicant for a high iq, where they should have a bottom and no top.

Drive out done of the idiots, and pay a bit more to hire people that can think and have good decision making and can work well under pressure.

Then you would have everyone screaming racism....


I applied for DPS back in 1991. I was told that they were only taking 10 applicants from the Waco region and that I better score high, because they were only taking the top 5 white males. If I scored a 95, and I was the 6th ranked white male I was out. Even if the highest minority scored a 71, he was in over my 95.

Seem fair? Gotta love Affirmative Action.

When did stupid people get to be a race.

[ ] white
[ ] black
[ ] Mexican
[X] stupid

[Sean88gt]

Am I wrong? I'd actually like to see a state by state comparison of number of police per capita, total revenue raised, numbers of arrests for serious crimes vs. petty crimes, and the overall crime numbers.

I believe Texas has 7.7 police per 10,000 people (These are older numbers from some research I had done about 5 years) and Colorado was around .7/10,000, and I felt far safer there than in Texas. Granted, the demographics are completely different, but more police does not mean more safer.

You couldn't just show them your ASVAB score?

And that is why I'm going to champion for gingers to be their own race.

Proof?

I'm not gonna go digging for it, but there was an article posted here a while back. Their reasoning was that the potential officers with a high IQ would be more inclined to look for a different job. They were afraid they would spend money on training and gear only to have the officer quit relatively early in his career.

What do you mean, Proof? It's in the political forum, and you've commented about it several times already when it has been brought up in other threads. Do you ever remember anything?

Did you really read that article and swallow it hook, line, and sinker knowing the agenda?

That article has no credibilty. There are valid points, but as a whole the agenda ruins credibilty. The author has made it say what he wants it to say.

Of course no one here said anything about a degree, only higher pay.

[03trubluGT]

Of course no one here said anything about a degree, only higher pay.

So Arlington, with a degree requirement, has the lowest pay?

That makes sense. People with college degrees working for low pay. Makes total sense.

I don't see how you'd have a problem with that since it describes any post we could pull out of the air that you've made in regards to the police.
