You have to understand police culture. Their recruitment draws heavily on military veterans even though 2/3 or more departments require a 2-4 year college degree now.

There is a certain kind of person they are looking for, and somebody who knows or cares about the nuances of constitutional law is rarely that person.

i'd say that that's the biggest problem now in police officers and the military. smart folks are too smart to be cops. sad when you think about it.
