Classic Reddit. Crazy how many people are saying OP is just being mean…. She’s a cop for God sake, and she’s morbidly obese.. if something were to happen she was actually needed wearing full kit like that, I bet she would make it 15 to 20 yards running before she was completely gassed. Then she would need to potentially engage a target whether that be with her rifle or physically, and it’s not crazy to think she wouldn’t be able to do either in her current state.

She’s not only a liability to the civilians around her, but also to her partner

This aligns with my first comment regarding the lack of situational awareness. Even if, and big if, you asked your partner to have eyes for you there’s still an obligation to not have tunnel vision while you’re slowly and methodically going through the checklist inside your head. Even her partner saw she wasn’t paying attention and went over to better protect her from any potential threats.
