“What’s the average IQ of a cop? 100?”
The average IQ of everybody is 100, that’s its very definition. Cops on average are probably a little lower, I’d say 95-ish. There’s a few that are intelligent (I’ve never heard of one even marginally genius), but most of them are the scum of society. At one time period, that may not have been true, but they’re certainly attempting to get the worst thugs around, because it perpetuates the war on the citizenry. Police work by nature is corruptive, and those who are social misfits gravitate towards police work. In fact, if you look at most cop families, I would guess you’d see about half of the family being cops and half being convicts, or at least a corresponding percentage (I have known several, personally, and worked with or provided services for, countless more). LVMPD (neighboring Henderson), are some of the most corrupt police on the planet. The sheep dogs have all become the wolves. That’s why Sheriffs are to be voted in and out by the citizenry. Not municipal corporate police systems with lifetime taxpayer sucking, parasitic jobs.
Someone should not only lose their job, but be held personally liable for the settlement and criminally prosecuted. And then some.
Now, I realize we have cops on this forum and probably hate reading stuff like that and I can't blame them. Not at all. I'm just sick of cop brutality. And of course the real kicker for me is some cops knew I was completely innocent many years ago but they fabricated evidence and lied resulting in a guilty verdict. So yes, I've been found guilty for a crime I didn't commit and I mention that on occasion here. It still pisses me off.
One of the few things that Sarah Silverman has ever said that is worth repeating is her quip from the very first episode of her former sit-com:
Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Silverman: Because you graduated last in your high school class?
