Fun fact. Cops on average have lower IQ and often fail literacy tests. Furthermore it appears that critical thinking is discouraged in the job, with candidates being selected who lack critical thinking abilities over those that have them.
It sounds like this could be applied to the military too
The military doesn’t actively exclude smarter people. However they 100% prey on people who are less educated
We need to have a chat about your definition of “fun”.
Certain departments specifically have IQ tests, in order to ensure you aren’t smart enough to easily get a better job elsewhere.
I think it’s more nefarious than that. Many departments want a good 'ol boys club where they’re the ultimate authority and they want their officers to fall in line rather than question department actions.
This internet myth has got to die. ONE case in ONE department, a quarter century ago, does not mean it’s a practice.

Can you blame them if they can not find one from after 1999?
Because the 1999 story is the origin of this talk.
Anyone got a non-paywalled link?
