Cops grab paraplegic man by the hair and drag him out of his car

I honestly believe it's a prerequisite to have rocks for brains and anger issues to be a cop anywhere in Ohio.

Some police stations will refuse to hire you if you're "too smart". Being smart means you can think critically. They don't take too kindly to that. Unless you're willing to enforce things blindly and obediently then they will not hire you. Courts agreed that this is fine and it's reasonable for cops not to hire based in this premise alone.

I know the linked article probably says this, but in case anyone doesn't click through- it's not just that departments will refuse to hire people because they're "too smart", but also that someone who was denied a job on those grounds took the police dept in question to court, and the court actually said it was fine. So there's actual, on-the-books legal precedent for police departments discriminating against intelligence during hiring.
