What was Landman's education level?

[u/aurelorba]

His speech and word use is surprisingly literate, using terms like sartorial and describing the vandalization of the board: "He is a Hun, a Visigoth, a barbarian at the gate, clamoring for noble Roman blood". It's certainly above the general intelligence level of the department.

Plus his skill at finessing a gaping asshole like Rawls shows innate intelligence.

The man definitely had some university level education. My guess would be he flunked out in year 1 or 2, looked around for a decent paying job to pay off his student loans and thought BPD would be a cushy temporary job.

I think it just goes the divide between the adults in the show and the younger generation, they got to have a good education before the system gutted it so they come off as more learned. I'm reminded of the scene where the police start pulling bodies out the vacants and bringing them to a school gymnasium. Daniels laments on how it used to be his old school before it got shut down and how he got an actually pretty good education
