Police Officers Need To Get In Shape
posted June 21, 2011

I saw an article on here a few weeks ago talking about out of shape police officers in Chattanooga and didn't think much about it until I went to the Riverbend a few nights last week. I must agree with the guy that said he has never seen so many overweight and out of shape police officers as there are in the Chattanooga Police Department and the Hamilton County Sheriffs Dept.

I think the thing that bothered me the most was the age of most of the overweight officers. If they are so overweight and out of shape in their 20'ss and 30's, what kind of shape will they be in in their 40's to retirement age? Something really needs to be done about this problem. It is getting out of hand, and we elect our officials to keep a check on this.

I am not the expert by no means, but I think it would cost less to get these men and women into a wellness program that what it is going to cost the citizens to pay for the health care for out of shape employees.

In the 29 year of police work, not one person who ever called for me to rescue them asked about my body fat index, whether I smoked or not, nor what my cholesterol level was.

What a bunch of whiny ass, intolerant, demand-a-diamond-at-cubic-zirconia pricks.

Wellness program? How about relieving 95% of our stress by not having to deal with intelligent quotients like these idiots possess.

Damn, they need to be eating those lo-cal donuts.

Damn, they need to be eating those lo-cal donuts.

And drink diet beer, use organic condoms and smoke "light' cigarettes.

Who would you rather have come to your aid?

A somewhat overweight, experienced, cynical, but smoking cop with common sense who drinks straight up coffee 24/7 or......... a 'roided' up fitness junkie, save-the-world rookie cop with zero % body fat, zero % IQ, and a zero tolerance mentality who drinks 'natural' water all day*?

Healthy (mentally and physically) cops are far over-rated.

* Uhoh, PM. Somebody's gon kick yo ass.

I'd prefer to have a responding officer is who is knowledgable, experianced, doesn't have an us vs. them attitude and someone who isn't gonna be rude b/c of the B.S. he had to put up with on their last call.

I dont care what the weight/height/sex/color/etc is of the responding officer. as long as the officer is professional.

How things change, yet stay the same!

Some years back, the department decided to commence "fitness and agility" testing, with a three-tiered performance scale.

Naturally, only "Level One" officers would be eligible for promotion.

The catch? The very guys with the worst problems, the hypertensive diabetic three-pack-a-day beer-swillers,

WERE EXEMPT, with a "doctor's note" that participating would be DANGEROUS TO THEIR HEALTH!

Guess who got promoted? anyway

Brother Jackson, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Maintain yourself on our budget, schedule, and activity level for thirty days, like the guy in the McDonald's movie, and see if YOU can maintain that ideal weight you think we should.

I'll settle for Officers who know and care more about the Tennessee Code than the damned "D" codes half a dozen rear-echelon motherf*ck*ers oversee.

Well, goomba, Bruce Jackson, Marcia Lewis and Sarah Stokes seem to disagree with the rest of us. And the fucking idiots probably vote, too.

But, goomba, the votes of the realistic and intelligent can (not that they have in a while) overcome the votes of supreme idiocy as espoused by Bruce Jackson, Marcia Lewis and Sarah Stokes.

Opinions expressed freely and publicly as is their right, defended daily (at the risk of life and health) by the very fat ass cops they disparage.

On the internets.

For all to read.

These same idiots would chastise, disparage, ridicule and dismiss President Lincoln because he suffered from depression, President Washington because he failed to exercise adequate tooth care, General Patton because he cursed, Prime Minister Churchill and Gen'l. U.S. Grant because they may have imbibed in a bit of 'spirits', President Reagan because he was divorced, President James K. Polk 'cause he couldn't grow a mustache to save his life, President Kennedy (A Catholic) or Dr. King (A man of African descent) because they slept around, and, finally...... President Eisenhower because he smoked, cursed, wore dentures, never wore a mustache, was depressed, drank alcohol and slept around (But, thank Gawd, never divorced, nor was Jewish).

Hitler?

Now there was a mustached, stone cold white, aryan (Non-Jewish, so ignorant fucks like Bruce Jackson, Marcia Lewis and Sarah Stokes can get the fucking picture), tee-teetotaler, never was divorced, with semi-good teeth, vegetarian, unobsessed by sexual identity, monogamous and a slim leader these fucking idiots would seemingly accept as a role model for our local street cops......

We should all strive to be that fucking sane and physically fit at the same time.

At least trim and fit Mussolini had the trains running on time. That is what is really important in the great scheme of things in the tiny, barely functioning beyond the ability to type and send an email, imbecilic minds of Bruce Jackson, Marcia Lewis and Sarah Stokes.

Fucking idiots. Perception is a bitch.

I'd submit the above to Chattanoogan if they'd print the word "fucking" as long as it came from someone who meets the demanded height/weight requirement.

Fucking idiots....

Bruce Jackson, Marcia Lewis and Sarah Stokes are Fucking Idiots.... Are friends of Mayor Littlefield and Sheriff Hammond....... And they can vote.......God help us all........

You sound fat.

[osrb]

Well it seems like cops are just like the rest of the country. Over weight and under paid.

[LimitedRecourse]

"You sound fat."

He doesn't sound all that jolly...

Cop 1: Hey man would you go a year without maintaining your service pistol?

Cop 2: Hell No!

Cop 1: Would you go a year without changing the oil in your car?

Cop 2: Sheeeet! Are you crazy?

Cop 1: Would you go a year without cleaning your pistol? Rotating your tires? Buying new boots? Polishing your brass?

Cop 2: Only a crazy person would not take care of their shit like that.

Cop 1: When was the last time you got a physical?

Cop 2: Fuck that. That's a wast of time. Are you kidding me?
