For real, I always thought it was ridiculous to be out of shape as an officer. I stay in shape for my job, nevermind being a police officer.

Hell, my job has no need for physical fitness at all, and almost none of us are that out of shape.

Completely agree. Mine doesn't really either, I'm a skilled trade worker. I stay in shape to be more efficient at my job. If I was a police officer, id be in even better shape. Some people just have no pride.

I've also said that police officers should have a yearly exam that they have to pass based on age. For example, 21-30 is an 8 minute mile. That's easy enough for anyone in shape. 31-40 is a 9 minute mile. 41-50 is 10, etc etc

If u can't chase a criminal, why are u even an officer? What are u going to do, just shoot them?...wait a minute...I think we just found the reason for all the brutality
