I've never seen a convincing story that this was true.
Convincing story? A police department went to the Supreme Court to defend their right to not hire applicants that scored too high on the Wonderlic portion of the entrance exam because, "They would find police work too dull and move on to another field."

I am extremely intelligent(compared to dumbass Pig standards), a CPA, and confirmed cop basher on here. If I was with my kids at a playground and saw a kid with that gun posted in this thread and he made a move for it after I told him to put it down, he would have been shot as well. Now more may come out in this story, but I am amazed by how many people are blaming the cops with the info we have now. It is truly scary

One police department used a high cutoff on the Wonderlic to narrow the applicant pool. The Supreme Court decided that for a department to limit the applicant pool to a reasonable number based on the low/high cutoff was acceptable despite it being "unwise." To suggest that police departments across the United States "disqualify applicants for being too smart" is an extrapolation at best. My statement of "a convincing story" was a very poor choice of words. Perhaps your statement suggesting it was the norm was, too, and I am misunderstanding you.
