  • I applied in Canada to a Law Enforcement program with a past-secondary institution.

    I was told by a VERY senior member of the force (family friend) that I was simply too smart for the rank and file and was consequently turned down. He said “…they don’t want people who will think for themselves and question their orders. The whole point is to have force who will follow the rules without question. You don’t fit that mold”. The “rules” in this case is really just the police culture, and status quo.

    The man who told me this, rose to Police Chief of a Major Canadian city from uniformed officer. Retired now.

    I believe him.

    Dumb soldiers who apply force when told. That’s what they want, …mostly.
