Anecdotes from a collapsing civilization. Sometimes, you've got to wonder if they are making this stuff up. Police department says man too smart to be a "dumb cop." Judge agrees.

"A man whose bid to become a police officer was rejected after he scored too high on an intelligence test has lost an appeal in his federal lawsuit against the city."

Mike: If this the case from New London CT, what do you expect, if the cops are smart, they might notice the criminal activities of the Politicians...(No Link so I do not know which case it is....)

I don't know how anyone can be surprised by this, it's the only reason they give tests. You can't have anyone of even moderate intelligence in uniform, or they might wonder why they are enforcing laws that at the very least have no constitutional basis, or are flat out unconstitutional.

Smart people tend to think critically. Critical thinkers have a lesser probability of following orders blindly than others. Das Reich cannot have that.

Promotion policies are even more strict.

Just a reminder, this is the same city that gave us the Supreme Court Ruling in Kelso vs. New London, making it ok to steal from the poor and give to the rich!

We need to come up with an oxymoron similar the the "military intelligence" that the Leftist Libtards like to use with such smirking sarcasm.

@Seremzh: "Smart people tend to think critically. Critical thinkers have a lesser probability of following orders blindly than others. Das Reich cannot have that."

Actually, the nastiest entities in the Reich were staffed with very smart people: Heydrich, Eichmann, Mueller, Jeckeln, Stahlecker, etc. Smart guys will do their duty and find a way to expand government power while doing it. They also come up with ever more efficient ways of rounding up and disposing of the folks that get in the way.
