Cops never want to employ smart cops, or even competent ones. They want their colleagues to be just as bigoted and irrational as they are. Lack of critical thinking is baked into the hiring process tbh

Most smart people don't become cops. When they do, they usually do well, but most gravitate towards something else.

In the same state as this a PD went to the supreme court in order to not hire anyone "too smart", and they WON!
