I remember the story about the guy who was not hired by the police, because he was too intelligent. This cop is obviously fully qualified. This would be the only time Barack Obama is correct, when he said "the police acted stupidly".

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) --

The New London Police Department's rejection of Robert Jordan because he scored too high on an intelligence test did not violate his rights, according to a United States District Court Judge.

The city's rationale for the long-standing practice is that candidates who score too high could soon get bored with police work and quit after undergoing costly academy training.

When I was in the military the training routine was if you flunked out they made you a cook or a cop.
