One of my friends from high school has considered becoming a cop because criminology is easy. He was always a little chuddy but more because he wasn't that bright and came from a poor background. He was usually well intentioned.

I could not disagree more, just because cops are dumb doesn't means smart cops would be better.
Then they'd just be better at hiding drugs on people smh. Also do you not think that the entire system isn't set up to protect itself?
I've seen your take more than once in the wild, but there's many places where the police still suck even though you need to be more qualified than :amerikkka:. It's almost like the institution inherently sucks because it must be reactionary to protect the interests of the ruling class.
Corrections also can't really get better because incarceration is bad because of how society views criminal behaviour as mostly a moral failing instead of a systemic failure.
They literally have intelligence tests, and if you score too high they won't let you enter the police academy. They consider it a waste of resources to train you because you'll just quit out of boredom.
I think there's an unconscious implication in your comment that low IQ people can't be nice or develop class consciousness, and I think a dumb person who means well can become a cop and quit because they don't want to beat up homeless people.
I also think you're falling hard into good cop fallacy, where if more good people became cops the institution suddenly wouldn't suck, which discounts the history of the police, what they do, how they protect capital, and the defund movement.
I have heard that IQ test thing before but it's largely irrelevant tbh, they have other non-IQ tests to weed out people who don't have terminal cases of cop-mentality. And not all places with bad cops even do the high IQ based filtering
Where'd you even get that? That thought is in your brain, not mine. I said they won't let people whose IQ is too high into the police academy.
I think low IQ people are some of the nicest in the world. They don't become CEOs or start wars. You know who starts wars? High IQ people.
Well to me it seems like you implied high IQ cops would fix the issue.
They stop higher IQ people because they think they'll get bored, not because they think they'll fix the system.
If you aren't making the point I read into it then I just don't understand why you brought up the IQ tests. To me it's not relevant unless you're making that point. And I see libs bring it up a lot like if we pay more then smart people become cops then problem solved.
ah yes, 'intelligence' 'tests.'
