Police Officers who are fat, overweight should be forced to get into shape or lose their job.

I agree. And for everyone nitpicking saying fat people can be fast or strong. Sure. They can be. But more of them aren’t. And he means out of shape, not fat. I think the physical test/training needs to be much more extensive(it’s like a 1.5 mile run with 50 pushups and 50 sit-ups type of deal). That doesn’t prove your fit at all. I think they should have to be able to bench their body weight, do like 100 pushups in 2 sets and a 5 mile run. I know they don’t do that stuff in the field but it would show they are in peak shape and are staying fit. 99 outta 100 fat people will not be able to do those things I listed. Police should only be the best of the best.
