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.”

Not really.
Have you been in a fire station recently?

Maybe the fact that they are not fit is one of the reasons it’s so dangerous...

This fails to mention the effect that stress has on the human body. Stress causes weight gain.
Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters are extremely stressful.
For a firefighter to go from a dead sleep to fully operational ready in 30 seconds stresses a body.
A good portion of both jobs requires hours of waiting for all hell to break loose.
Not conducive to a healthy life.

Nope. Ill admit ignorance in this. It seems to me that an occupation requiring a fair amount of physical strength wouldn’t allow for obesity.

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.
