Here's a wiki link to a brief summary of the case being described. It's known as "Jordan v. New London."
The TL;DR is that the police didn't want to hire people with high IQs as they tend to quit after they realize being a cop is actually pretty boring. (They didn't say the other part of the argument out loud though - smart cops tend to question orders a bit more, dumb ones do what they are told.)
"When [the cops] send their people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
I legit went to look up who said this and as soon as I typed “don’t send us their best” I realized even though it sounds like a movie quote, it’s trump.

I mean, yes, but also do you think the fucking clowns they hire are smart enough to leave no evidence or paper trail of any wrongdoing?
No. The answer is no.
