The cops **have been** the "RIGHT-wing mob" more than once this week.

Sad thing is so many good people who wanted to be cops just don't
want to anymore. Who would? So you get what is left and the quality
of the police go down. What I see is police lives don't matter. Many
of the good cops from Seattle have gone elsewhere.

Or make the police serve the people instead of themselves.

Not every large city is accused of violent police. (1) Verify
that. (2) If verified, learn what they do right, and apply it
elsewhere.

There continue to be anecdotes of police ignoring 'bad apples',
like ignoring drunk driving. The complete saying is a few bad
apples SPOIL THE BARREL. Police have to hold police to a higher
standard, not make excuses.

In the U.S., if your IQ is above 107, chances are you can just forget about
a career in law enforcement. It's odd that many colleges offer degrees in
Police Science and Criminology, yet police departments prefer to hire those
who fit the "dumb cop" stereotype. This includes detectives. Small wonder
that there are so many high-IQ'd serial killers running around:

Can Someone Be Too Smart To Be A Cop?

Ever called a police officer “stupid” or questioned whether he or she was
actually using their brain? If so, you wouldn’t be alone, and you might not
even be wrong.

By Katie Rucke
June 18, 2014

It turns out that those who have cursed at a police officer for apparently
not using his or her brain or said an officer was being “stupid” may not be
as far off the mark as the American public might hope.

Although it’s not widely known, federal courts have ruled since 2000 that
police departments can legally opt to not hire someone simply because he or
she scores too high on an intelligence test. The millennium ruling followed
a lawsuit filed in 1999 by Connecticut resident Robert Jordan, who was told
by the New London Police Department that they only interview candidates who
score 20 to 27 points on an intelligence test.

Jordan, a 48-year-old college graduate with a degree in literature, had
scored 33 points when he took the Wonderlic Personnel Test in 1996, giving
him an IQ of around 125. His score was well above the 21 to 22 points that
officers score on average, which reflects a slightly above-average IQ of
around 104. (Interestingly, the Wonderlic test recommends that insurance
salespeople score at least 22 points and that police officers score at least
21 — meaning that at least according to the test, it requires more
intelligence to sell insurance than to solve crimes.)

The test, which is used by other employers, not just law enforcement, poses
questions such as: “In the set of words below, what word is different from
the others? A. Beef. B. Mackerel. C. Veal. D. Bacon E. Lamb.”

Based on his Wonderlic test score, Jordan was qualified to become a lawyer,
but he was too smart to be considered for a position with the New London
Police Department.

Jordan filed a lawsuit and took the police department to court, arguing that
he was discriminated against.

”I was eliminated on the basis of my intellectual makeup,” he said. ”It’s
the same as discrimination on the basis of gender or religion or race,” in
that an individual doesn’t necessarily have control of how smart he or she
is.

However, the courts sided with the lower police department. In its ruling,
the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York ruled that the city did
not discriminate against Jordan because the same standards were applied to
everyone who took the test. In other words, no one who was deemed “too
smart” for the job after taking the intelligence test was hired.

Jordan also sued the city of New London, Connecticut, saying that his civil
rights had been violated because he was denied equal protection under the
law. But again, the courts ruled against Jordan, saying that the city of New
London had “shown a rational basis for the policy,” which was that those who
scored above a certain level would likely grow tired of police work and
leave shortly after receiving “costly” training.

Although the court said the policy was unwise, it found that the city had a
rational theory to try and reduce the rate of turnover in the police
department. Jordan decided to not pursue the case further, and has
reportedly been working as a prison guard.

Given that the public’s trust in law enforcement has been shaken in recent
years, departments across the nation are trying to repair that important
relationship with the public by ending controversial policies such as ticket
quotas, detention of suspected illegal immigrants on behalf of Immigration
and Customs Enforcement, and use of stop-and-frisk, since law enforcement
officials are realizing that the work of police officers can’t really be
done without the help of the public.

As Jordan’s story finds its way back into the media, some argue that the
problem the United States has had in recent years with the increased
militarization of civilian police forces is related to the fact that the
only people eligible to become police officers are those who are of “just
above average” intelligence — especially since law enforcement agencies tend
to promote from within. This means that those who eventually become
detectives and solve crimes are the same people who were initially allowed
to become police officers at least partly because they did not score too
high on an intelligence test.

Controversial filmmaker Michael Moore helped expose what happened to Jordan
on his show “The Awful Truth,” which ran from 1999 to 2000.

On the program, Moore sent correspondent Jay Martel to New London to speak
with Richard Brown, New London’s city manager who rejected Jordan’s
application. Martel asked Brown why he wouldn’t allow Jordan to work as a
police officer even though Jordan scored well on the test. Brown responded,
saying that according to the test, people within certain score ranges were
likely to be happy and stay on the job, and he believed Jordan would grow
bored and want to leave.

Martel asked Brown if he ever thought the public would want law enforcement
to be intelligent, which is when Brown asked Martel to leave his office.
When Martel refused and continued asking Brown questions, Brown left his
office and threatened to call security.

During the episode, Martel also went around the city asking police officers
questions from the IQ test to gauge the intelligence of law enforcement.

When he asked police officers the question about which word is not like the
others, one officer responded, “I can’t say that I know, sir.” Police
officers were also unable to answer questions such as the distance to the
city of Hartford, Connecticut, and how long it would take to travel 150
miles to Hartford in a car traveling 55 miles per hour.

In fact, the only people able to correctly answer Martel’s questions were
security guards. One security guard even corrected Martel by informing the
correspondent that Hartford was not 150 miles away, it was only 30 miles
away.

Martel also spoke to some known criminals in the town, who said they are
comforted knowing that they are smarter than the cops because that gives
them about a two-week head start in trying to get away with crimes. When
Martel asked an officer about concerns that criminals were testing higher on
intelligence tests than officers, one officer responded that it wasn’t a
concern for him because it was his “job to enforce crime.”

Around the world and even within the U.S., police are not required to
possess remarkable intelligence. Police reform advocates argue that if the
standards were raised regarding what it takes to become a police officer and
if the pay was better, it would weed out the so-called “dumbasses” who cause
so many lawsuits and are a liability to their departments.

Many of these reform advocates also point to the apparent correlation that’s
been found between police officers’ salaries and the corruption among law
enforcement officials, arguing that the higher the salary, the less likely
law enforcement officials are to engage in corruption.
Mexico is often given as an example of this, as the border city of
Tamaulipas, where officers earn the least amount of money, is also among the
country’s most corrupt cities. A similar relationship between pay and the
rate of corruption has also been seen in Africa, which is why many believe
one step in reforming law enforcement in the U.S. and reducing the police
state, would be to start recruiting people who are well-educated,
intelligent and financially secure.

They have no reason to suspect they are. They simply asssume, "black =

leave the larger cities or go private.
