Jesus fucking Christ, I know police are dumb, in fact if your IQ is too high you can actually be legally barred from employment as a police officer in the United States of america. Look it up. But fuck incompetence of these Jokers continue to tickle my asshole in a negative way

    I did look it up and there is only 1 case from 2000 that set the high bar at 125. it's not really representative of the whole.

    I fuckin hate cops as much as the next person but people love to spout this fact, but there is literally only 1 police department ever that has been documented doing this, and it was the one police department in Connecticut.

    However the court did in fact rule it was legal, yes.

    But the way everyone talks about it you'd think this was some super widespread policy that many departments use. And as far as I can tell there's only ever been the 1 example. It's the same case that every single article about it refers to.
