Someone in excess of 400 pounds should be able to handle them.

Perhaps. A brother-in-law of mine was partnered up with a 120-pound female on patrols in tough crime areas. He took the first opportunity to switch duties, as she left the dirty work to him, she didn't carry her "weight". Another brother-in-law of mine quit the police force because he saw too much brutality of cops against others. I have a nephew who is a cop, and my sister worries about him because he is only about 150 pounds. He does fine.

I saw corruption, too (sons of rich bosses = “untouchables” in that locale). There’s too much corruption. They tell the less influential constituents to move to other jurisdictions, if they don’t like it. But they also say that corruption is everywhere—true but nothing to be proud of.

Don’t move. This is our country. Many of us have been here for many generations, which is not so for most volks in political circles. Be impeccable but outspoken. Do what is healthy and productive despite efforts to stop productive, healthy activities. Clean up at least one little bit of it. For one, too many public officials have been pretty sneaky about helping to legalize dope. Some of them will do anything for more debt/revenues.

I preferred the job title, patrolman, by the way. The feminist phrase, “police officer” was not a smart one to use, in my opinion. It’s been causing trouble.
