Are cops/first responders out of shape?

[Jayburner]

I watch too much youtube videos of cops, but it seems crazy to me that you can be 300 pounds plus and actually do your your job. Do they not test your health after you graduate?

Yup, every single one. Clearly you have pin pointed the problem.

I'm looking at the special service people who are supposed to protect the president's life and some of them look so fat the criteria for hire must have been "can you serve as a human meat shield against a full AK-47 clip?". It's quite ridiculous.

Then again the food people eat in the US is absolute shit, garbage, processed manure, so it's no surprise so many are so obscenely obese. Even without regular exercise, no one should be that morbidly obese from normal food. Even after wasting my life for 3 years doing nothing but gaming and no exercise I had gained like 10 pounds extra, but not fucking 150.

Almost everyone is in crummy shape. While it's true that there are some very fit people in the armed forces and in LEO roles, it's shameful how many of them can't even remotely stay with a computer nerd like me in a race.

Luckily in America the perp is likely to keel over from a stroke after trying to run 3 steps anyways.....

Does it matter? Nobody is gonna outrun a bullet.

This coming from the anti-America bandwagon regurgitation machine?

But please, continue. *hands shovel*

So would you turn down an obese person trying to save your life?

I fucking love the US and its citizens, I just hate what some of the largest corporations are doing to it.

How the hell did you even interpret that as the meaning of what that person wrote?

What corporations are you referring to? Because if they have that much influence it ain’t just America sport.

He was casting judgement (its jayburner, I am just playing along) on first responders. Quite a bold move to decide the person saving your ass should lose a couple pounds first.

Never underestimate a crack head. They have stamina.

who gives a shit if a first responder is out of shape? Lot's of them are volunteers. Cops, some are, it depends on the physical requirements their employer puts on them. Some departments have annual fitness tests most smaller ones don't. Who are you to try and tell them they are out of shape or not?

Not having fitness standards for a job where it's relevant is a joke. Even the fitness standards that are present are usually a joke. How hard is to expect something like a 10 minute 1.5 mile run or similar?

Most police departments have a 10 minute mile they do annually. They also have firing range requirements annually. What does that have to do with non law enforcement first responders?

A 10 minute mile? That's a complete joke. That's an awful pace for a marathon, much less a single mile.

For non-paid people, I don't care. For positions where people are compensated, having some basic fitness standards really isn't too much to ask. Anyone that can't run a 10 minute mile is a such a lazy fuck that they have no business being in a position with any physical demands.

i'm fairly sure the fire department has standards?
