You would think that if law enforcement is so dangerous as so many self righteously claim that cops would be among the fittest.
I am not at all surprised at this. I used to handle claims brought against law enforcement officers and their departments under 42 USC 1983 (i.e., claims for violations of civil rights). Without exaggeration, I’d say fully 70% of our cop clients were “big boys and girls.”

You would think so.
But, alas, it is not so.
Sometimes when I see titles here before clicking on the link make a prediction on how many posts before seeing a word or phrase. When reading this title predicted the word donut would appear by the 2nd post, was right on this time.
