Why would they reject smart people in the first place? They don't want intelligent policemen or what?

Intelligent people are capable of questioning orders. From my personal experience, the police force is akin to a pack of dogs.

You don't consdier people with an IQ of 105 as smart?

Intellegence much less  to do with questioning orders then you would think.

I mean... I'd note that the big study about resistance to authority is called the Stanford prison experment.

 

No, I certainly do not view those with an IQ of 105 as smart, not even close. Considering how dimwitted human beings are as a whole being slightly above average is simply slightly above braindead.
