Until the 1960s, most cities had height limits for cops also. If you were not at least 5’ 10”, forget it. They wanted big guys only. No tasers in those days, just billy clubs and big cops.
Only short black people. Check yourself.
On the Korean DMZ in 83, the MP’s had to be 6’ or better. The ROK’s had to be black belts alt least. Nowadays when the stakes are high, send girls so you can scream, “Not fair!” or something.

It always struck me as sadly ironic that women who demand the “right” to be cops and soldiers because they are tough enough to do anything a man does, run shrieking in tears when they feel harassed. How will that serve them if they are captured by ISIS at some point?
Orwell would be proud. Now being fit is illegal and unfit is more legal, because somehow choosing someone on personal preferences and not qualifications is not racist.

Fat butt boy there couldn’t chase a criminal half a block, nor run for cover if he had to. But then that’s what the firearm is for.
