Interesting.
I think those cases are isolated though, and most were from that New London, CT case...
I know a lot of smart cops, many of whom graduated with 2,4, and 6 year degrees in a wide spectrum of subjects.
I don't think they have dropped testing like that in California., but I might be wrong. I will ask about it tomorrow, or as soon as I can.
As for the last thing you wrote, I never knew that statistic. That makes me laugh, because stupid people should NOT be cops, especially since those tests test for reading, writing, memory, and reasoning skills! Scary!
