Law enforcement is most obese profession - study

[MadSquabbles500]

Imo job w physical demands like this should require certain level of physical fitness. A fit cop can chase or detain a person without having to shoot or tase them. Fat cop like in above pics is less likely to be able to do this.

Imo someone should do a study that compares physical fitness with use of force. The data already exists, can be retrospective.

the thing is, if you think Murican football is just a few seconds of explosiveness with lots of rest in between, than being a cop is like grown geometrically to 10. Most of the time they dont chase people down, wrestle them. They mostly drive around, and if they do get out they end up just talking to people.

so you are a cop that advocates torture, murder of civilians and all kinds of war crimes if it's your side committing them?

huh? yes I advocate torturing our enemies and shooting unarmed black teenagers for actionable intelligence that will save American lives not sadomasochistic torture for sexual deviants like yourself. and I've never condoned war crimes but to paraphrase Col Kilgore " I love the smell of willie peter in the morning" "It smells like victory".

now stop trolling me LR or i'll have my CIA contact spam your email account to the point were you'll have to register for a new one

we sit in cars and shoot people all day? wow thanks for letting me know that judothrowfiasco! you must be some kind of wunderkid with that nugget of intellectual enlightenment!And after serving six years in local PD I never knew that we were supposed to shoot people every day?

listen dickhead, we don't join Law enforcement because we want to shoot people. the vast majority of us joined because we want to help people and always had an affinity for military, police, and fire from childhood. tell me this smart guy would you reeaally want to wake up tomorrow and there was no police officers, state troopers, or Federal agents? think of the film "The Purge" X 1000. People want police but piss on us when we get confronted with situations that require split second decisions. none of you liberal vagina's would have said a word if Michael Brown had beat and killed Wilson.


There was a video years back showing a very large man beating a female Florida state trooper with his young daughter watching. he broke her face and knocked out half of her teeth. now would she have been justified in shooting his ass? in your brain no. just like if Wilson had been a female or older and shot brown nothing would have been said. Michael Savage is right liberalism is a mental disorder.

No, people want police with integrity and honesty. They're public servants, their donuts and coffee are paid by the people. When cops consistently abuse their power (not talking about Mike Brown situation, seems like Wilson's story checks out enough for him to not be indicted) and then not being held up to the same standard as a civilian because of some piece of metal you call a badge. In fact, if you're in a position of such power you should be held to a much higher standard. Instead, usually the cops get off with a paid 2 weeks vacation for a severe violation of the law they're hired to protect. That's what people don't want.

By your posts you seem like the type of cop who would ruin someone's life for having a joint on them.

I am actually surprised by this, I have yet to see a fat cop in my county. I know they have a good free facility they use to train with the reservists so maybe that's why but I always thought it was just a Simpsons stereotype for the most part.

I see this everytime I see NYPD, and I see NYPD all the time because I live in a barrio. These are usually real out of shape, but they do seem jolly.

They frequent the same Dunkin Donuts and Burger King I do. Yeh, and they order a lot of food LOLZ.

But being overweight can cause depression and anxiety on the neuro-bio-chemical level in the same way an atkins diet can alter your mood. So yes it can lead to very poor decision making.

is that why I well up every time Pyle Shoots Hartman in FMJ?

 

[MadSquabbles500]

But does the stress of the job actually come from the nature of the job, or the workplace treatment?

I am not knocking the job cops do, but most cops do not experience what Raylen Givens goes through on a daily basis. I do know they get crappy hours. Does the stress mostly come from the lousy work hours?

I wonder how often or how many individual officers will actually experience an on job call that is eventful enough to cause massive stress. Does giving out speeding tickets, or arresting someone for domestic abuse really that stressful? Unless of course they put up fights, then yes that would be stressful, but most people dont do that.

let me tell you something. I used to be on an extreme atkins diet because I thought it would help me lose weight right. Whenever I went to the local rink to get some quick skating in, they would be playing this emo, depressing music on the loud speakers because they wanted to keep the kids calm. When I hear it, my mind would start running, and thinking about all this negative stuff. I could not get it to stop. Even my face was starting to cringe up. So yes, I think it can be why you swell up when you see someone getting shot.

A study on the prevalence of obesity by occupation found nearly half the cops, firefighters and security guards in the United States are obese. Economists, scientists and psychologists scored the lowest rates of obesity.



Didn't know firefighters and security guards were considered law enforcement.

LoL. Try eating rotten sandwiches that have been sitting in the hot ass trunk of car in the middle of a summer

The vast majority of cops out there are not fat, but once in a while you see a fat hog for a cop and his picture plastered all over the internet. All of the sudden people believe all cops are fat. I am telling u some people are....sheep.

Take example this picture that has been on social medias. A lot of people think this fat guy is a motor cop, but he is not a cop. He works for a private escort. Think funeral

I never wrote shooting unarmed people. what I do know is that you have never been in a dangerous situation.you would never protect this country or put your self in harms way by becoming a cop, or joining the Military. Because your pussified coddled liberal upbringing means you would rather die without a fight because you secretly are scared to death of confrontation.

you know you sound a lot like my old sociology prof. clueless about the reality of this world.

Thanks for the tip. I live in a third world country and I have never seen a cooler bag

If you live in a place developed enough to have a fridge in your home you probably have access to a cooler bag. My workers who earn around US$250 a month have access to cooler bags. I also live in a city where the average summer daily max temp is 100F.

I agree that long workhours makes people fat, but the "I dont have a fridge at work" its a pretty lame excuse.

How do you say sarcasm in spanish?

 

[ultramanhyata]

I say these too often unsung American heroes have earned the right to pamper themselves calorically.

I know it was sarcasm, i just dont know why it was warranted.

Your argument that your food would spoil in hot summer was not sarcasm certainly.

 

[funcrusher2007]

I take great umbrage with you and others that responded to my thread attacking my mentality. just because we have differing opinion's based on our socialization doesn't mean you're smart and I'm stupid. it just means you're probably a pansy and I'm a real man. things that I know about you instinctually from reading your posts are
1.you probably enjoy taking baths
2.you like Kenny G and you think Creed is hard rock
3. hearing Micheal Savage, and Rush's voice makes you physically ill while they're soothing to me
4. the only gun you've ever fired squirts water.

if you've said yes to one of the above (you can lie on SD but I know)

then well.

Lol..I dont need to make you look stupid, you got that covered on your own accord. Truthfully you are a mental midget. Your false sense of masculinity is way to easy to flip on you. But truth be told you sound psycho as fuck..like Unibomber psycho, like lay off the sevelster Stallone reruns man.

You can always test my theory. Put a sandwich or left over dinner in a cooler bag, stuff it in the car trunk for 10-12 hours in the summer. Let's see if it's still edible

Yooo..man, your in costa mesa..whats the average temperature there 70degrees..I work in Palm springs area alot (construction) and my little ice pack thingy works perfect in 100+ degree weather..also why would you let it sit in your trunk...just put it in the cab with you ..I know you got a/c right?..and why would you let it sit for 12 hours? Say you take your lunch mid shift thats around six hours..not bashing man but you are making A lot of bad reasons for eating poorly...something I do is pack the ingredients separate in Tupperware and they stay fresh way longer.
