Why would they be apt to be murderers more than any other person? The BETTER and BEST police departments in the West do extensive psychological testing on ALL their recruits. No sane police department wants gun-toting, badge-wearing nut cases on their police forces.
Not extensive enough. Unless they are trying to get high school wrestling team rejects. They don't want anyone too smart on the force, either. That's why the courts said they are allowed to exclude applicants who score too high on the IQ test. They just want animals that will blindly follow whatever orders they given.
You live in a dreamworld.

Here in the northeast their status as “preferred minorities” supersedes all else (fitness, intelligence, mental health); for many it has become a workfare program. When the local paper showed a picture of a ceremony a few years ago when Newark NJ laid off 160 cops, you wouldn’t believe the fat asses on many of them (and they were the newest hires). A couple looked tough (probably military veterans); the rest weren’t about to enforce any laws that required them to stand up.
