“Or maybe it’s a case of stupid people with guns trying to do Police work.Could be time for IQ testing of cops.”
How much truth can you tolerate?
The dirty fact is that cops are IQ tested. Above a certain point, they are not hired.
Why? The officer is basically a blunt force tool and is supposed to enforce by the book. Too much IQ and they begin to use judgement.
Can’t have a thinking cop, can we?
You are exactly correct!!! Here's a case of this: Is it a problem if a cop is TOO smart?
>Can’t have a thinking cop, can we?
Of course not; but not for the reasons you think.
If they were to “read the book” then they would begin to see just how much the “ruling class” violates what’s in the book. That is to say, that if any sizable & concentrated collection of Law Enforcement types were to enforce the law [uniformly] the “ruling class” would be jailed.
An interesting example is US Code, Title 18, Chapter 13, Sec 242 — Deprivation of rights under color of law ( http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/242 ) if enforced would require the arrest of Law Enforcement officers enforcing the War on Drugs (blatantly unconstitutional, esp as prohibition required an Amendment)... but even more interesting, sec 241 would require the arrest of the legislatures, judges, prosecutors, and jailers involved in the War on Drugs. (Conspiracy against rights.)
