Well said. The good ones leave pretty quickly.

Also remember that affirmative action means there is a LIMIT on how smart a cop can be. In a sane world, there would be a MINIMUM IQ, not a maximum IQ! But that would be Rayciss...

I've heard the issue is that higher iqs tend to leave the force. I think we'd need to address ways to entice them to stay.

Yep, they either see it's corrupt and hopeless, or they're just kept out in the first place or prevented from advancing by Affirmative Action.

Dieworsity is our greatest weakness.

It hurts how much this applies to the military. Smart/hard workers/risk takers get out. Dumb/lazy/cowards stay in, get promoted and end up in charge.

The only exceptions are the 10 percent of people who are trying to "change it from the inside". Generally you can tell them apart from the rest because they are usually angry, look older than they are, and stay sitting in mid level positions to retirement.

I couldn’t imagine staying around fellow law enforcement that bully a woman from standing in public and do nothing as her property is stolen. These cops need to be fired.

You assume they hire smart cops: Police department disqualifies anyone whose IQ is “too high".

Irony alert: This is the same city that took Kelo's property by eminent domain and gave it to a developer. Getting higher taxes on the land was "in the public interest." SCOTUS upheld this taking.
