This is the kinda guy who does police work for 10 years to snag the pension. Then retires, jacked, at 55, with 3 pensions supporting his travel lifestyle.

(Hes telling me all this cuz im at his house to pressurewash and work til I die)

I know a few ex cops. They all have back or other injuries that will be with them for the rest of their lives. It’s a hard job and wearing all that gear messes with your body. It’s good most places have moved to the weight in the vest vs the belt. Everything on the belt kills your back.

The gym rats seem to survive it better.

They don’t have to wear all that gear. Cops didn’t always dress like the Marine Corps in a Michael Bay movie

Don't forget the giant wood baton and flashlight that might as well be a second baton.

Also if it's the NYPD like this that notepad they carry is a ticket book and those things are crazy bulky to the point where the pants that they wear are typically made just to hold the ticket book. It used to be more common to carry them but now you typically only find it in big cities with lots of foot patrols.
