"Just like our police forces, the Government hires unqualified low IQ types who would not be able to hold a job anywhere else, overpays them, and gives them the power over others."

That is a blanket statement about police officers that simply isn't true. Good grief.

I had an acquaintance telling me about a brother or cousin {I forget which} who was denied entry into the police-force for being too intelligent; the reasoning being that “he wouldn’t have job satisfaction” despite ‘Policeman’ being the job he’d wanted from childhood.

Furthermore, I’ve had the police show up on my property for a multiple-step hearsay regarding a firearm “incident” [I was cleaning it].

In point of fact, the police departments give tests and weed out those above a certain IQ.

The very intelligent are likely to exercise judgment - such officers are not what a department wants. Especially, a department which is invested in the statist “Ubermenschen” attitude all too prevalent today.
