100%. Courts have ruled in favor of police departments turning down applicants for placing too high on intelligence tests. They aren't looking for Columbo, they're looking for moronic psychos who will do whatever they're told. Add to that the direction of policing towards more military style units, strong turn from "here to help" to "here to fuck up your life"... what kind of asshole would want to be a cop now anyways?

They're all bad.
