Fat coppers

Cops in the USA look obese. Honestly. I'd be half tempted to commit a crime just to watch them chase me. I guess that's why the country has so many controversial officer shootings, it's because they can't be bothered to run.

Chase? they'd pop a few in your back

How much running do you think is involved in police work? I mean even if you was quick and had immense stamina, theres a lot more to it and the criminal could still get away by running anyway, and they probably have to run less then 5 % of the time.

Never mind fat policemen/women, the amount of overweight people employed in hospitals is ridiculous. A family member has been ill recently so I've been to the local hospital quite a number of times in the past few months, and I've hardly ever seen an average build NHS employee. It seemed most of them were the size of a small wardrobe. And they say obese people cost the NHS millions/billions every year. They might want to practice what they preach...

I'm a policeman and I had to pass several fitness tests in the uk, I once arrested a football fan named mons for molesting pigeons outside Bethnal Green.

And on that note, im out.

I have to be honest I've not met an overweight police officer in the UK. Like Ronny says the police force require a fitness test so really they shouldn't be getting through the netting. America on the other hand? Honestly no clue on how their recruitment works.

I used to work at a place when one patrolled and he was a monster, if he caught even a strong bloke, they'd be stuffed, although I cant see how this guy woulda caught anyone light footed or agile. He must have have been around 17 stone+ this bloke.
