Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27

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.

104 IQ cops aint too bad

[Thulack]

Bet judges have to score between a 10-15 on that test to be candidates too by that ruling.

They want pigs who are just smart enough to follow orders but are to dumb to realize they are being used to crush freedom and liberty in America.

ahh ok, pretty absurd.

Thanks for the update, hbb is my tom brokaw

Was this an especially long appeal or what? I'm assuming he's 49 now, right? Not in 1996 when he took the test?

At any rate.. Lame excuse to turn him down, but noticeably not a reason that is apparently protected by law such as age, race, gender. I wonder if it was really something else that caused him to get turned down but this was the "official" reason. I feel like some info is missing here.

That being said, my IQ is higher than his and I rarely get bored unless something is terribly monotonous. A cop job seems like it would be anything but boring because cops in general get so many different types of calls.

Oh you guys didn't realize you lived in a fascist dictatorship?

fascist democracy. it's trickled even to the luddites that said they were just going to ignore the thing which only enabled it more.

[runlvlzero]

A democracy nah nah, we don't pick our leadership or rules, a small elite group does.

They want the dumb ones because they don't question orders as much, and don't typically have moral and ethical problems with beating the shit out of old women, retards, and especially black males who piss them off.

I should have been smart enough to realize this. Ok. Makes sense.

[runlvlzero]

Habeas Corpus.

[Estolcles]

Habeas Corpus.

They're basically getting ready to suspend your rights. Enact martial law. And turn police into a military force with the authority to ignore Habeas Corpus. Which is an ideal that is at the very core of our legal system.

Let Anarchy Commence. I wasn't sure it would happen in my lifetime. The faster and harder it happens. The better off I think I will be. If this is a long process I am fucked for sure. Because that means I have zero allies.

[runlvlzero]

I.e. Please good governmental sirs. Do push more people over the edge of dieing and insane patriotism to your good old boy network. So that a new one may rise from it's ashes that holds dear the ideals I love so much.

This makes for fun forum discussion and it is tastefully edgy, but it's not true.

It costs a shitload of money to train a new police officer, and they've found that, for whatever reason, officers with certain characteristics have lower rates of retention. (Retention across the board for new police officers are already pretty terrible). This isn't just IQ; it's psychological examinations, character traits, etc. It is very uncommon in the United States for IQ to be one of these factors. It may manifest itself informally in the oral board process, but not usually as an arbitrary policy. It's just a measure to try and weed out people who they think will be risky investments.

Also, almost all police departments now require a college degree, in many cases even for military veterans.

You do realize how bad anarchy is, right? Like a Punk rock (like late 70's PUNK specifically) concert, but with no guards to keep the bloodflow to a minimum. It'd be like the Superdome during Katrina, except widespread across the country.

Martial Law is the lesser of two evils in that situation.

Not saying either is a good thing, just making a statement.

More than likely the laws they are forced to enforce are so bad thaty they loose their minds. My godfather has been a cop for a few decades now and they had him doing facebook crimes. I'm sure he wants to quit. But he's close to retiring.

Needless to say its not a particularly hard job that cant be filled by most people. With the right training it's something anyone can do.

But our country is on the brink of fucking self destruction. Because of greedy greedy assholes. And cops are feeling the brunt of it. They are loosing their minds because their being forced to be bullies for the power elite.

Look at the guy who got pulled over for having an illegal clip in his car but was let go because he was one of the officials on Fast and Furious ( the gun running shit ). Cops are getting fed up just as much as everyone else.

I also personally know one of the guys who arrested Charles Manson. A U.S. Marshal. And he is also pissed at the way cops and government is being used now. This is basically across the board.

[runlvlzero]

I never said Anarchy was good. I'm saying thats what their pushing for and it's better than a totalitarian police state.

Anarchy sucks. Even compared to what we have THIS moment. Which is 1st world problems still.

[runlvlzero]

They being GoPers and the NWO fuckers Ron paul called out like 30 years ago.

[runlvlzero]

Martial law is Jews getting stuffed in ovens at that point.

[runlvlzero]

Guess who it'll be this time around? I'm pissed.

[runlvlzero]

What surpises me is your gay as fuck threads. No wait it doesnt.

Fuck you.

[runlvlzero]

You don't see where I'm going with this Estolcles. Martial law under the Bilderbergs and Rupert Murdochs, Hollywood execs, and oil barons. With the NSA and Military Industrial Complex at the tip of the sword.

[runlvlzero]

You fuckers are crazy if you think anyone else other than you is going to look after you lol. It's nice when they do. But Martial Law is not about protecting civilians. its about protecting infrastructure, businesses, assets, money, banks and maintaining order so people do not riot and tear down the rich part of LA.

[Estolcles]

Guess who it'll be this time around?

White people?

[runlvlzero]

White people?

Heh, nah, but "the mentally insane" anyone on welfare, disabled, vetrans probably mostly ex military and police.

Anyone who won't give up their guns. etc..

[runlvlzero]

Of course you will be insane by default for having a weapon or living out in the woods minding your own business.

[runlvlzero]

Guess who got fucked the most in communist countries first? The farmers and redneck rural classes who "had to much wealth" compared to inner city folks and industrial workers.

[Estolcles]

Heh, nah, but "the mentally insane" anyone on welfare, disabled, vetrans probably mostly ex military and police.

Anyone who won't give up their guns. etc..

Welp. I'm fucked.

[runlvlzero]

Biker gangs for sure.

[runlvlzero]

Welp. I'm fucked.

Nah I'll stop them with you, for you.

[Estolcles]

THis would be better...

Scottland and Ireland are great. I dislike the English nobility.

[Estolcles]

Although, it should be pointed out that the Gov't shut down before back in 1995, and things got better for a while after that happened.

But now I sleep with fears in my head. Greaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

[runlvlzero]

Yeah I'm not freaking about the govmnt shutdown. But who knows. Sorry =/

I think we'll be ok for a bit. Heck, banks are still giving out loans on mortgages.
