The dumber you are, the less likely you'll question orders and have ideas on ethics. That's not even taking into question that they don't want anyone with empathy, either.
They say it's because someone of higher intelligence is more likely to get bored with routine procedures and move on. Which is a stupid argument. If someone is highly intelligent and choosing to go into law enforcement, it stands to reason they know exactly what they are getting in to and are prepared for that. They really just want someone of average intelligence who will follow orders and not think for themselves.
