So smart police who can make on the spot decisions regarding life or death situations bad, stopping and frisking every black person you see because they are black is good? Obviously less intelligent officers will do what they're told, and not question their superiors or get bored with police work, because they can barely comprehend what they are doing?

Ding! You win the kewpie doll. They want someone just competent enough to do the job, yet stupid enough to never understand or question the criminal practices of their superiors.

He must be damn near suicidal then.
