The other thing with a policemans/woman's job is that you're exposed to some of the worse of human nature on a daily basis. You're going to see some really bad poo poo the people are willing to do to each other. That's got to wear on you if you start out as a normal decent person.

They also live in their own bubble of justifying awful behavior while promoting an "us vs them" mentality about the public. They are their own bad influences about the problems with humanity and Ed Balls agrees.

some people faint at the sight of blood

if they sign up to be an emt and take the time to go through the courses and get certified and then on their first time out faint on someone with a scalpel and kill them, im going to go straight to this thread and say "actually its a hard job"

I did look at career options and cops normally only require a GED or HS diploma so I guess critical thinking, which is focused on in college isn't really in the curriculum because your brain is still developing until you're 21 or so

what im saying is education reform

The legal framework rests on Tennessee v Garner (1985) "probable cause to believe the suspect poses a threat of harm to the officer or others" and Graham v Conner (1989), "Reasonableness of use of force shall be judged from the point of the view of the officer at the scene and without the benefit of 20/20 hindsight".

quote:

Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training.

Most Cops Just Above Normal The average score nationally for police officers is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an IQ of 104, or just a little above average.

Jordan alleged his rejection from the police force was discrimination. He sued the city, saying his civil rights were violated because he was denied equal protection under the law.

But the U.S. District Court found that New London had “shown a rational basis for the policy.” In a ruling dated Aug. 23, the 2nd Circuit agreed. The court said the policy might be unwise but was a rational way to reduce job turnover.

the police went to the judge and said "cops are bullshit, your honor" and the judge had no option but to agree that only people stupid enough to stick around should be hired
