"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 is a pretty startling statement for armed people who are supposed to understand and interpret the law, detect abnormalities accurately while not terrorizing the law abiding general public.
Here's a breakdown of appropriate jobs by IQ. Keep in mind the 100-104. This might be part of the problem.
I did read it and I disagree with that assessment. In my town, officers were required to have a Bachelor's degree. I'm not sure if that's the case in a lot of places. Unfortunately I think for some, training and "following orders," might override any benefit from education or IQ.
this seems to be a backwards conclusion - how do you propose hiring smarter people for what is in essence a very tedious and borderline unfulfilling job?
you think that any higher IQ person looks at any service job and goes "amazing, drudgery is exactly what stimulates me"
On that base you might just as well refuse all non-white and non-female applicants because they would leave after becoming the victims of internal racism and misogyny...
