Yeah, sure you could use a baton, or the Pr24 would have worked, but I read Secret Service pioneered a new technique with maxipads


According to Secret Service sources, Herczeg arrived for duty acting erratically, grabbing a fellow agent's personal phone and started deleting applications from it. She also was mumbling to herself, hiding behind curtains and throwing items at fellow agents including menstrual pads, according to the report.

Is saying "running in police uniform with all the gear" a polite way of saying they are fat and never had a chance?

Maybe she was pacing herself for the long haul.

Sprinters get caught by joggers.

It's why the Wetzel brothers could run down any animal except for a horse. The deer would sprint away then stop to rest. Keep up that cycle and they would eventually run it down.

No one that's strong, or fast, wants to admit it, but some people are naturally one or both.  I've fought some psych patients in the ER that are very fast, and I promise you they don't train cardio.  Also seen some dudes that could walk on stage at a local bodybuilding show and do pretty well...guarantee they don't lift or do shit for work.  Just naturally really big with abs.

all my kids ran XC and track in HS over the years.  no lie been to hundreds of XC and track meets.  they were all mid to long distance runners -- no sprinters

always interesting to see the different 'body types' in the events and running styles.

some runners are not particularly 'athletic' looking.  the long-legged kids don't look like they are going fast but they cover a lot of ground per stride.  whereas the smaller kids legs are pumping furiously to achieve their speed.  

so in the end -- the proof is in the result.  but the 'mechanics' of the gait can be quite variable per runner.

Some people will fool ya.

Back when I ran adventure races,  I could maintain 8 minute miles for a long time. Not fast by runner standards but not bad.

Was out on a trail and on a long straightaway,  saw this pudgy lady up ahead. Figured, I'll catch and pass her in short order.

Never caught her. She just chugged right along.

I’m in pretty decent shape and hate a foot pursuit. You’re guaranteed to be at a disadvantage because of all the crap you wear. They likely could have gotten a good taser shot off a couple of times though.

Those two female officers are easily more than 30 lbs+ overweight that would make them not just "overweight", but class II obese.  

Given that women are already at a severe physical disadvantage to men their physical standards in terms of BMI, body fat percentage, and overall medical health should be even more strict than the men's standards.

Put fat officers on bike patrols and you have them bike their rear ends off.   Like set patrol routes for them to complete each shift and you have their supervisors track them to make sure they're doing it.  They should be biking those calories off all day long in the hot Texas sun.  Now, they probably eat like absolute garbage and there isn't much you can do about that, but could as an incentive offer some kind of "fitness bonus" to officers that meet or exceed the physical fitness standards each year.  Some places in the private sector will even reimburse employees up to a certain amount for physical fitness equipment or gym memberships.  

Might be worth it for departments to find nutrition coaches and certified fitness instructors that they could recommend to officers who didn't meet the body fat standards.   Maybe work out a deal with a local gym for discounts for police officers as well.

I pulled the video off the net and converted it to a gif.  It supposedly is from Corpus Christi, TX.  To answer your question about fitness standards at that agency, I did a quick google search.  The first result is pretty funny.

I got to interact this week with a 20yo female police officer. 5’4, 110lbs or less.

The only way she’s ever arresting someone is if they let themselves be arrested.  If she’s ever involved in a lethal force situation, whoever hired her should be charged with manslaughter.

A lot of officers eat fast food during their shifts.  

Unfortuantely, a lot of the healthy fast food options were removed from menus when COVID hit in 2020.   McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy's all removed their grilled chicken sandwiches from their menus and now you can only get the fried chicken sandwiches that are multiple times higher in fat and carbs.   McDonalds also removed their egg white breakfast sandwhich, which was fairly healthy.

Meal prep is something officers need to do and they need to pack their lunches for work.  Eating fast food and sitting in a patrol car for hours will absolutley make anyone fat.  You can't outwork a bad diet either, could spend two hours in a gym every day and still put on weight if you're eating like crap.

I have a cool story…a department had hiring testing in ongoing 90 day cycles, physical, written, medical, board, etc. Didnt get a lot qualified females, so we just thought outside the box… segregated the physical agility, so proctors could help as needed, no more dummy drag, no push a squad car, no grip strength, no bench body weight, etc, as to the run and wall climb, the proctors assisted as needed, like a battle buddy.

So, there was a big complex, range, shoot house, gym, obstacle course, track, etc where this was held. I’m coming out of the gym and throwing my bag in my trunk when I see 2 test proctors getting a female up over a wall obstacle… we see each other and I’m like WTF! I get the it’s all good brah, no one chases anymore, we just motorola!

There was one female officer at my agency that I hated to get paired up with.  She was argumentative and bitchy and often seemed to pick fights with people we were talking with.  Once the fight started, she would stand back and I was left to fight with the person.  I avoided getting paired up with her if at all possible.  Fortunately she left the agency and went somewhere else.  She was downright dangerous.

We had a guy that was like that, 5'5" manlet with a chip on his shoulder that treated everyone like garbage and would talk himself into fights for no reason. He moved on to a bigger agency not long after I left and, last I heard, was involved in 4 or 5 OIS in his first five years

On this particular note;

I don’t know what the heck prompted it, but several coworkers decided to have a foot race after work. 2 males, and one tiny female (I’m talking might have been 5’ even. Might have been just under 5’, but slim and athletic).

They asked if I wanted to get in. I took one look at the competitors (2 overweight guys, and the tiny female), and laughed. “Nah, but I can help judge”, so I told them, “OK, we’ll keep it simple. Starting line is here. Run to that van (about 40 yards away), and back. First one to cross the line, wins”.

What was funny to me, was hearing the difference in their footsteps.

The overweight guys (who both talk about going to the gym regularly) were running STOMP…STOMP…STOMP…STOMP…

The tiny gal’s footsteps were patpatpatpatpatpat… I’d estimate she was taking 3 steps for each step from one of the guys.

One of the guys gassed out before even reaching the van (definitely less than 50 yards away), and the tiny gal had already outdistanced him in that short run, then he tried helping out the other overweight guy by running interference/blocking the gal on the return run, and she STILL almost caught up to the 2nd guy.

The rest of us watching had a pretty good laugh.

One of my other coworkers said, “So that’s why you didn’t join in”. He tried to outrun me once. Said he was running as fast as he could (also overweight, shorter, and I don’t think he’s ever worked out at all), and said every time he looked, I was right behind him. I told him after a short initial sprint to catch up, (since I gave him a head start), I realized I could easily keep up to him while just loping at a leisurely pace. Told him I kinda felt like Pepe LePew, keeping up with the frantic cat, without breaking a sweat.

Gal in this video looked to be doing the same; Quick initial burst to gain a comfortable distance/separation, after which she realized she didn’t need to push herself to stay comfortably out of reach.

DUI used to mean DRIVING under the influence.
OVI meant OPERATING a vehicle under the influence.

NOW, you can be sleeping in your back seat, with the car not running. Keys not in the ignition. And STILL get one of the above.
