Do you think cops and first responders are getting too fat?

I want this fucker tracking down criminals.

Dunno, but I've seen some that probably shouldn't have a field job. Of course, you can't fire them cause it's "discriminatory", and a "health issue".

In Kansas, they just shoot everything that moves.

Is that wrong?


I like how the cop opened the last gate.

In THIS case I would say Yes, its fucking wrong. But I guess you missed the Kansas reference.

Hmm...

Well most don't start their careers fat. Many are actually in decent shape. But, as with anything people get lazy and an athletic cop in his 20s turns into an overweight mess by 40. Throw in a nagging wife, stress, bills, kids and you get the picture. I'm not saying it's right. Just pointing out the reality for many cops, and most people.

a while back i read an article about how a lot of volunteer firefighters suffer heart attacks - they aren't necessarily in shape, or sometimes very out of shape, and they go from long resting periods to high stress scenarios in an instant. pretty sad

He caught the effer. That"s not good enough for you? I fast walk like 10 miles a day and I would have just shot his ass as soon as he tried to take off.

Back in the day I was just hanging out on my back porch. All the sudden I see my buddy from up the street running for his life jumping the chain link fences like they were hurdles in track. I'm like what the hell is going on are we about to throw down with someone, then I see the fat cop behind him about 4 houses up from him barely jogging struggling to get one leg over a fence. It was one of the funniest goddamn things I ever seen. My buddy made it like a mile away they had the helicopter out and everything couldn't find him.
