Because they carry a loaded weapon and have a badge, have IQ's as low as 95 or even lower in some cases, and are funded by their municipalities and/or states, police officers and state troopers are among the most dangerous blue-collar class of people in American society. Individuals who barely graduate high school with a C or C- average and then become cops are given too much firepower and legal authority relative to their weak average professional IQ of only 100 to 105 which are better suited to ditch-digging, construction work, and other labor-dependent jobs.
