The actual answer is that they consider that job a poor use of that person's time and skill set. The person is also likely to get bored very easily or not take it seriously. Also it was only like one town in Connecticut that does this iirc.

intelligent people will immediately see the police or corrupt and retarded, therefore, must only hire retards that follow orders to kill kill kill, plant evidence, and lie to the jury. The retards are told they a smart, special, highly trained and then they believe they are so, when in fact they are still retarded, actually retards. Ever talk to a real cop? They are actual retards who think they are smart and brave. They see joggers beating and robbing people, burning down neighborhoods and what do the retards do? They take a knee.
