In the city I live in, its near impossible for police to get fired. Its likely that when he was hired he was in much better shape and quit giving a damn and that the chain of command can't do much about it. Just to prove how difficult it is for police to get fired here, we've had multiple officers on video tape, beating people, and then lying about it in their official reports. Hell, we had two that were drunk, in a police cruiser, in another state, who were pulled over for speeding and littering (they were throwing trash and beer bottles out the windows at other drivers) and they still weren't fired. One "retired" with full benefits.The other is still on the job.

he likely wasnt like that when hired andspent a long time either injured or behind a desk

or

he lives in a town that teaches everyon that cops are out to make your life miserable and will throw you in jail for looking at them funny

Well,somebody has to bring donuts.

Well he won't do that, they will be gone before he gets there

Thats a fair point.

low recruitment likely

That's what I said when I saw this on facebook.

suck my dick anon

Of course, then all the fatty-cops would start bitching about discrimination.

Lose the weight or lose your job.

I agree. They should be the ones who do the paperwork or control the chopper or something.

I am guessing they signed up for being a cop when they were young, years pass and the doughnuts add up you know?

it saves the department money when they don't have to pay for body armor

as soon as a cop reaches a certain weight. they should be kicked out IMO

I think they should be kicked out when they reach a certain body fat percentage or fail a physical ability test, and then they get a 90 day notice, which after 90 days they can retake the test and pass, or fail again and get fired.

The certain weight thing wouldnt be very effective, because 250lbs can be obese on one cop and muscular on another.

i guess so. Body fat percentage or BMI

BMI is not accurate. A physically fit guy with a BMI of 35 is classed as obese. BMI sounds good in theory however it most of the time ends up putting physically fit people into the same catogory as obese people all because of their BMI.

Body fat percentage is much more accurate as it takes away the weight caused by water retention and muscle weight (muscle weighs more then fat)

or go back to the academy and lose the weight...
