There are still places that ‘value’ those things, it’s just all bunk. I know of a local department that requires applicants to have a college degree. It’s just that (some) college(s) has both become a degree mill, and there are plenty of places ‘captured’ by conservative thought/material.
You could still be a fool, and a bigoted asshole, and graduate no problem. Even just going by intelligence, it’s not like being intelligent carries with it concern for your fellow man. There are brilliant individuals who are every bit evil.
I think that the overall push for why police are the way they are is that only certain types want to be a cop in the first place, much more so than intelligence, education, or desire to find truth in scientific ways.
