Do cops need much IQ? by DesertRat662011-08-29 13:04:07

Not just VivianC but all of you.

I doubt anyone of you has more experience dealing with racists than me unless you've got a white hood in your closet and a swastika on the wall, OK? Remember the bomb story?

What we are dealing with here is the fact that one parenthetical word changed the whole context of the blogger's post. We are also dealing with the fact that the test scores are drastically different based on race. There is also the fact that we've gotten way far away from DR66's post about police needing brains, not just guns and handcuffs.

These are three different points.

Let's start with the first:

Steve Sailer used the wrong word in the wrong way. How many of us have never done that. How many of you have gotten torqued off over something I said by using the language wrong? English is an incredibly imprecise language. If you don't believe me try and write a simple shell script using it.

If you are still online you've realized how stupid that would be.

So what's next: Poor scores for minorities. Well, the minorities they track anyhow. Yup, that's a proven fact. It doesn't mean VivianC is a racist. he's just using the statistics. He never said that blacks or Hispanics are less able.

Point the third: Cops need to be smart.

I've had way to many dealings with the police these last couple of years. Darned tooting they need to be smart. IQ is a crappy way of determining who is smart, but it's apparently the only tool we've got. This really sucks because IQ was developed for the purposes of eugenics. Being able to talk people down when they are upset is a very important skill for first responders. I'd say that that is half the battle.

Wait, where was I? Oh yeah. I got an e-mail from one of my high school GFs with bikini pictures!
