A Federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by a man who was barred from the New London police force because he scored too high on an intelligence test.Good grief. I am dumbfounded.
Perhaps if "The Only Ones" are too bright, they might start questioning things...?

Not the first time I've heard of this. "You'd find police work boring and move on, and we'd be out the expense of training you."
Instead they hire racist elitist thugs like the South Carolina cop from a story the last couple of days: "You better run, [N-word], 'cause I'm fixin' to kill you." Or did he say "I'm a-fixin' to"?
A police officer is a public figure. Everything he or she does reflects on the community and on other law enforcement officers. It's not a personal playground and stress-relieving therapy session.
What about the feds? It would explain a lot about ATF.
And maybe we should remind black anti-gun acivists about the ATF Good Ol' Boy Roundup picnic: "[N-word} Checkpoint: Any [N-word]s in that car?" Hyuk hyuk.
Didja catch this rationalization (I simply cannot bring myself to call it logic):
Judge Dorsey ruled that Mr. Jordan was not denied equal protection because the city of New London applied the same standard to everyone: anyone who scored too high was rejected.
I very nearly sprayed tea all over the keyboard at that. (What can you even say to that? Makes me think I've slipped into another universe.)
But, I suppose, it may explain a few things. Anyone who could (with a straight face) actually peddle this definition of equal protection, probably cannot be counted on to understand other simple jurisprudential concepts, such as rights or individual sovereignty.
In other words, this anecdote is probably prima facie evidence of a similar if even more rigorous filtering of applicants to the bench.
Seriously, what planet are these people from?
Next cop who shows up here and tries to scam us with all that whining should be informed that it is now a matter of public policy on the public record that only the less intelligent will be accepted as law enforcement officers.
I am not surprised — AT ALL
In the Air Force the two lowest jobs you could get were Security Police and Cook — in that order. Why, oh why, would the civilian world be any different?
If they were smart enough (when I was in) they would get themselves a more technical job — say Inertial/Doppler Navigation Systems Technician, perhaps?
Don't be dumbfounded David. If you're too smart you'll make your Chief and fellow officers look bad.
You must remember who it is that develops the requirements for such positions. :)
I know New London quite well. I'm not surprised that they'd only want to hire retards to be cops.
