The important thing is that the instructors were able to go home to their families.
The only major city police force I have seen that has a higher body mass index than the Austin PD is the Houston PD.

I was picturing the opposite - a bunch of distance runners being wheeled off muttering "just...can't...eat...another...donut."
Merciful Maude. Have they downgraded the quality of the recruits so terribly? Truly, I’m serious in asking.
Probably what we call down south, here, “big ol’ boys”. With all our southern fried cookin’, they’re apt to carry a lot of weight “out front.” They’re big and imposing, but unless they decide to sit on someone, that weight out front can be a bit of a hindrance to runnin’ down the bad guys. God bless ‘em!
Austin is a liberal city but oddly has a first class and very professional police force out on the beat. At the top it is very political but the cops out on the ground are some of the best in the state of texas. They have extremely high standards for ability and physical standards. If u can not meet the standards u are gone.
This is good.

Unless it was due to heat exhaustion.
