Their justification for it is such an open and obvious lie too. He might get bored and quit? Because he’s too smart? Makes zero sense. On the list of jobs one might do I don’t think being a cop would rank very high in the boredom rankings.
Are you judging the profession based on television? The majority of cops sit somewhere for a long ass time waiting for something to happen then when it does its mostly something boring like hauling a drunk driver in, writing a speeding ticket, or responding to a domestic violence call to either play therapist or MAYBE haul the guy off for the night knowing that nothing will happen except a tearful reunion.
On TV cops fire their guns twice in 30 minutes whereas in reality 68% NEVER fire a firearm in their career. There are almost a million officers in the US you have no doubt seen many in passing. Did it seem like on average they are out doing exciting things?
The bigger flaw in the logic is that since when do dumb people get bored less easily? If anything they get bored more easily because they’re not observing potentially interesting things in mundane scenarios.
