I hate the fat cops around here. Disgusting that the same union that protects officers from cronyism and nepotism also protects fatties.

Wait. Is this the same ARFCOM that bashes the Marine Corps for having appearance standards? How dare you bash these LEOs! If they are capable of performing their duties in accordance with current standards, then who cares what bags of shit they look like? View Quote You don't grok the difference between "fitness" and "appearance" do you? |

Quoted:
Because that has sooo much relevance to what we do on a daily basis. Do officers have to run after someone every once in a while? Depends on their jurisdiction You could lose plenty of good otherwise competent officers for simply *not running* to some standard Unlike the military which is trying to slim down, many LE agencies can't find enough qualified people.

Quoted:
Clearly you are not familiar with policing. It's mediocrity as far as the eye can see, with occasional islands of competence and professionalism valiantly resisting the undertow trying to drag them into the morass of inept oblivion that surrounds them. View Quote Why do you hate cops? |

LEOs seem to fit one of 3 types.
1. Hugenormous fatties like those pictured 2. Roided out monsters with impulse control issues 3. A handful of "normal" guys that just kinda shake their heads at the first two groups and cross another day off their "until I can retire" calendar. |

Extorris, to the white courtesy phone, Extorris to the white courtesy phone, please. We need heavy cop stories. View Quote Meh, my department bounced a guy in our precinct who was too heavy. Before the days of cages in the cars he would routinely break the seats. His statement to our union delegate was "I'm the first guy to be fired for being too fat". He wasn't technically fired though. |

I had a client who went down to the police station. They tried to get a statement out of him, he refused and said "Hey i'm not under arrest so later" He started walking out and a detective said that he was under arrest so he ran out the front door (he was past the door that locks). He was a generic kind mostly out of shape guy in his twenties, but he started to run for it and cops streamed out of the station after him. He ran up and down the street, behind buildings, up a fire escape and around and around with a trail of panting detectives and fatty uniformed guys behind him, unfortunately for him two patrol officers heard about it on the radio and each pulled up at the end of each end of the block he was on. The little one ran 10ks and coached track and took after him like a greyhound, so he ran the other way, unfortunately the other officer was the town "karate cop", oops |

Most of the cops I know are # 3. There are departments that have height and weight standards and, I think, make you run once a year or something. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Don't talk about the local sheriffs relatives . He goes through a lot of trouble to keep them employed . And out of his house.

I'm a fat ass. that being said, I would NOT want that hephalump diving on me in court if I was unruly. They seem well suited to the job. Lots of area to hide behind, getting bullets to vitals is going to be a bitch, and if you get sporty and they topple over on you, game over.

Seriously. Where are they going to go out in the country? We have about one or two foot chases in the whole agency per year. I am sure its different in a more urban area. Every little twit wants to think they're a track star and runs from police they're interacting with. There was this moron who ran at the local hippy music fest over the weekend, but of all the dumb places to try to flee from, he made his dash at a festival with dozens of officers patrolling the area: http://www.ithacajournal.com/story/news/crime/2014/07/21/grassroots-festival-arrests/12970745/ |

Why?
The ADA and DIVERSITY. A desire that the police are comprised of the community members. The American diet. |

OP, there is a small community here in Southern Ohio called Hanging Rock east of my town that is notorious for writing speeding tickets on the small section of U.S. State Route 52 that, unfortunately, goes through their incorporated area.
I have not seen the dickhead lately, and I never got ticketed there because I always slow down to 10 mph UNDER the 55 mph speed limit, but they have/or had an officer whose belly was so large and distended that it actually covered his entire gun belt in front. I used to see him writing up people who passed through the Hanging Rock area who didn't know to be careful. He is hard to miss with that belly. As a retired military officer who had to maintain high standards of physical fitness, it makes me disgusted to see that particular leo in a uniform. Now some of our state patrol officers in Ohio may be dickheads but they all maintain decent physical fitness standards. But that officer in Hanging Rock is the most obese fucker I ever saw in any type of uniform. So I can understand you posting this topic. |

Must be enough of them otherwise they wouldn't even make uniforms that size. View Quote The county jail we had to lock up our prisoners at had a woman that was so fat her uniform pants were two pairs that had been sewn together. In the departments defense, they had fired her for being too fat but the union and courts got her job back for her. She was a sergeant too. |
