A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by a man who was deemed too smart to
be a New London, Conn., police officer. U.S. District Judge Peter C.
Dorsey said the Police Department's rejection of Robert Jordan because
he scored too high on an intelligence test did not violate his rights.
The city's rationale for the long-standing practice is that candidates
who score too high could soon get bored and quit after undergoing costly
academy training. Dorsey said: "The question is not whether a rational
basis has been shown for the policy chosen by defendants. Plaintiff may
have been disqualified unwisely, but he was not denied equal
protection." Jordan, 48, scored a 33, the equivalent of an IQ of 125.
The average score nationally for police officers, as well as office
workers, bank tellers and salespeople, is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an
IQ of 104. >>
The mystery is not whether the cops are too smart or too stupid. It's how
they test for the correct element of sadism. I can't imagine how hard it
must be to find people who want to kill people for being there and shove
objects up the rectum of individuals with whom they disagree. Where do they
breed that kind of scum? And it has nothing to do with brains, because if
they can get a law degree, they can be FBI men (an odd lot) or work for the
CIA (an odder lot), and if they really max out the IQ tests, they can devise
various poisons and weapons for the aforementioned groups. Of course,
perhaps they're not bored at all. Prudy
