Being a “large” person myself, okay a FAT guy, I think all LEOs that are “out in the field” must be in shape to be able to chase bad guys, jump fences, wrestle them to the ground.
They should be made to pass an annual physical test. Weight isn’t necessarily the issue. Can they do the job! Big, small, fat or skinny, doesn’t matter if you are physically able to do the job.
perfect cartoon for this thread
“daily regimen included running 10 miles a day,
1000 sit ups, 500 trunk twists, weight lifting and a quart of ice cream a day.”
Where did he find the time to eat the ice cream ?
This is about 2 hours of running, about an hour and a half of sit ups, 30 minutes of trunk twists and then some on top of that ?
Yeah I call shenanigans.
I’m not sure if it’s modern living or something else. Most former military guys I know are obese, some teetering on the morbidly obese category. I’m talking 35-45 year old adults.
My grandfather was WWII Army and he was skinny up till the day he died.
I personally think the processed foods we eat and the modern inanimate lifestyles that engulf our world is what contributes to it.
In reality it was his molars.....
Wow. I’m amazed at the audacity of some people.
This is ridiculous.
You’re probably right on all of those reasons. I’m pretty sure you are.
