"...... It turns out that those who have cursed at a police officer for apparently not using his or her brain or said an officer was being “stupid” may not be as far off the mark as the American public might hope.Although it’s not widely known, federal courts have*ruled*since 2000 that police departments can legally opt to not hire someone simply because he or she scores too high on an intelligence test. The millenium ruling followed a lawsuit filed in 1999 by Connecticut resident Robert Jordan, who was told by the New London Police Department that they only interview candidates who score 20 to 27 points on an intelligence test.Jordan, a 48-year-old college graduate with a degree in literature, had scored 33 points when he took the Wonderlic Personnel Test in 1996, giving him an IQ of around 125. His score was well above the 21 to 22 points that officers score on average, which reflects a slightly above-average IQ of around 104. (Interestingly, the Wonderlic test recommends that insurance salespeople score at least 22 points and that police officers score at least 21 — meaning that at least according to the test, it requires more intelligence to sell insurance than to solve crimes.)The test, which is used by other employers, not just law enforcement, poses questions such as: “In the set of words below, what word is different from the others? A. Beef. B. Mackerel. C. Veal. D. Bacon E. Lamb.”Based on his Wonderlic test score, Jordan was qualified to become a lawyer, but he was too smart to be considered for a position with the New London Police Department.Jordan filed a lawsuit and took the police department to court, arguing that he was discriminated against.”I was eliminated on the basis of my intellectual makeup,” he*said. ”It’s the same as discrimination on the basis of gender or religion or race,” in that an individual doesn’t necessarily have control of how smart he or she is.However, the courts sided with the lower police department. In its ruling, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York ruled that the city did not discriminate against Jordan because the same standards were applied to everyone who took the test. In other words, no one who was deemed “too smart” for the job after taking the intelligence test was hired.Jordan also sued the city of New London, Connecticut, saying that his civil rights had been violated because he was denied equal protection under the law. But again, the courts ruled against Jordan, saying that the city of New London had “shown a rational basis for the policy,” which was that those who scored above a certain level would likely grow tired of police work and leave shortly after receiving “costly” training.Although the court said the policy was unwise, it found that the city had a rational theory to try and reduce the rate of turnover in the police department. Jordan decided to not pursue the case further, and has reportedly been working as a prison guard.Given that the public’s trust in law enforcement has been shaken in recent years, departments across the nation are trying to repair that important relationship with the public by ending controversial policies such as*ticket quotas,*detention of suspected illegal immigrants*on behalf of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and use of stop-and-frisk, since law enforcement officials are realizing that the work of police officers can’t really be done without the help of the public.*
......Police reform advocates argue that if the standards were raised regarding what it takes to become a police officer and if the pay was better, it would weed out the so-called “dumbasses” who cause so many lawsuits and are a liability to their departments........"

Yup, this was going around like a year ago. Pretty pathetic and speaks to the kind of zombies they want cops to be.
Anyone verify if it's true?
Never heard this before, but I doubt it applies to the FBI etc.
this is about prison guards not FBI agents
So who gives a about security guards?
Is this supposed to be a lame attempt to insult SBM?
Because he isn't a security guard, he is a cop, and my guess is they have a lot more intelligence than they are given credit for, at least in my experience they are.
sbm isn't in the bureau
True, but he is a cop.
And he says lots of very profound things when he isn't trolling those who deserve to be trolled.
Except for the finger he put on male asses, there is nothing profound about SBM
Oh really?
Sounds like you know this from hands on experience?
You must have liked how it felt then.
oh really you are a re and a gor Glen Hobart... cute house you have btw... gratsOh really?

this applies to all jobs imho. If you're smart it'd be a torture for you to work at a treadmill job, like my Jacob.
lol
What does it say about your IQ =
if you allow other men to bang your woman's orifices mercilessly while cuck and child listen to her moaning in the next room?
What does your IQ matter - if you have been "that guy that loves getting cucked"

"My intelligence doesn't matter because I'm enlightened!"
