Years ago the NJ state troopers eliminated the boxing segment of their training because a female cadet was killed in the ring. The boxing was critical because many of the troopers patrol alone; they HAVE TO be able to defend themselves and their weapons. I guess it just fell through the cracks now...
Firemen in particular have to be able to carry a motionless person out of a building; how do you ignore that? Will it be like the NHL, where the smaller guys are matched up on lines with monsters who can protect them?
If you cannot defend yourself via your own hands, feet, etc., you have ZERO business being a LEO, man or woman.
Firemen. Exactly. If you cannot pass the physical requirements for basic functions (like being able to carry a motionless person out of a building) what the hell are you doing in that job?
Your NHL analogy would be funny if this entire scenario wasn’t so tragic in nature.
