Perhaps we should apply personality tests to all positions of power (mental health ones that is), so that it filters out the psychopaths [and similar]. The sad thing is: those types of people are good at faking normality, so I don't know if it'd have an appreciable effect. It probably should be done, though. They after all deny people with autism many positions of power, so it's not actually being unfair to the psychopaths and similar.

I think there are already established (and covert) ways of testing the suitability of applicants to the police force. However the question remains what is "suitable" in terms of what you want to filter out of the applicant pool.

I think they're fairly sedate tests compared to something like an extended clinical personality disorder test.

I can see the logic in that, as they have to pass the background checks, so history of conduct or antisocial behavior would be unlikely. However, plenty of people with antisocial PD get away with the antisocial behavior due to simple luck or being adapt at hiding such.

Which means the latter are probably good at faking normality in tests, and they're usually the worst types to have in positions of power. Lots of politicians are of this make.

Bad cops have never been anything new, but neither have good cops.

I grew up in a neighboorhood of police and firemen. A lot more of them fit the profile(irony intended) of racists and bullies then other groups of people but more then a few of them are the most unselfish people I know.

Joining the police is not the same as joining the KKK or the Nazis. Those main purpose of the last two organizations is racial and religious separatism. 95 percent of the people joining them are racists. The purpose of the police is maintain safety and order. Of course some people join the police to bully people or get an action high. People join also for idelistic and financial reasons. Some are idealistic when they join and because of the system or just the fact that as part of the job they see people at thier worst they turn into cold non caring people. But as I said a lot still are vary caring.


You said it yourself, more of them fit the profile of racists and bullies. Thats because a 100 years ago bully white thugs joined the KKK so they could lynch black people. Today they joint the police department so they can do the exact same thing.

I disagree that the purpose of the police is to maintain safety and order. The real purpose of the police is to act as government thugs to suppress people's constitutional rights, and to collect revenue for the government. Most cops in the US spend their entire day robbing people on the side of the road for stupid s**t like driving 10 mph over the speed limit or having a burned out tail light. That and fighting the Republican's "war on drugs" which also is nothing but a excuse to rob people of their money and property. Cops are robbing American citizens of hundreds of billion of dollars a year.

The police are criminal thugs for the government, that is all.


"Stupid s**t" like making sure taillights are working and ticketing people for going over the speed limit saves people from getting injured and dying as well enhancing government revenues. Maintining safety and order saves people from dying and getting injured and personal financial ruin and also prevents business from moving thus enhancing goverment revenues. Multiple purposes like many things in life. The police who commit crimes are criminals, the others are not.


They are all criminals. They are all out there robbing people, and that is BS. Nobody has ever been injured or killed because one tail light was out. More traffic accidents are caused by cops stopped on the side of the road while robbing people, then are caused by what they are writing the tickets for. Like the one below. But that doesn't matter because, because safety has nothing to do with it. It's all about robbing people to raise over ten billion dollars a year of revenue for the government. If it was about safety like you claim, there would be no fines for traffic offenses. Everybody who would get a ticket would instead be required to go to traffic school, to make them better drivers. But that will never happen because safety has zero to do with it. It's 100% about legal highway robbery to raise revenue for the government. And the victims are the poor and minorities, because those are the victims who the bully thug cops pick out to rob. Other cops, and the politicians get professional courtesy, and don't have to worry about being robbed on the side of the road.



Just watched the video - - OUCH!


There are plenty more videos like that on YouTube. It's called the "Moth Effect". They have known for years that traffic stops are inherently dangerous, for the cops, for the motorists being stopped, as well as for bystanders who happen by. More cops are killed getting hit by cars while robbing people on the side of the road, then are killed by gunfire. Now the highway bandits have started shooting the motorist in their cars during these traffic stops, because they could potentially be a threat to the cop. So now even more people are getting killed because of this highway robbery that is going on. But no matter how many people die because of this BS, the government it not going to stop robbing people on the side of the road, because they don't care about anyones safety. They only care about the tens of billions of dollars of revenue that these highway robberies bring in.
