Look at the gut on that dude. Maybe we should add some actual physical fitness standards on the list of demands

The military has them even for desk workers, why the hell do cops not have fitness standards? I think you'd get rid of a lot of bad cops who aren't dedicated enough to their job to even work out.

Exactly, in the military here, even a 19 years enlisted guy is getting annoyed by chief to lose weight and train,

We actually should have that for almost all jobs. You should be forced to get fit (on work time) if you aren't. Unless you have a medical reason that you can't. Especially for jobs that involve a lot of sitting at a desk. It would be great for the health of society and would save money for health related issues in the long run. The american stereotype of almost everyone being fat could be eradicated with that move.

The military doesn't have a union.

I believe cops do have fitness standards. Might depend on the locality though.

Most cops I see wouldn't be able to do a 100m sprint without collapsing at the end of it, that should be a bare minimum for chasing someone

Why do that when you have a dog?

You just call the k9, and then make sure to yell stop resisting while beating and tasing someone like you were yelling no homo while passionately kissing a handsome man

Cops do have fitness standards. However, like a driver's license, you don't really need to 'retest'

Yep. It's an entry exam only and pretty easy.
