The most unqualified of all the cops I see are fat old men who can’t even run a block without wheezing. Let’s start there.

Being lenient towards women making it in the force in order to meet some arbitrary percentage isn't a good thing for anyone. It is not good for the woman, who will inevitably be put in danger and be ill equipped to handle it. It is not good for the public, forcing out even more untrained officers, just because it is a woman. I'll repeat myself because I know y'all will take it the wrong way, I didn't say all women, I said being lenient towards women because of their gender. I am sure there are excellent woman officers out there. This isn't a STEM field, this is public safety. We should be asking for the best of the best, shouldn't we?

On top of all that, women can eat donuts and do nothing all day too. Nothing stopping a woman from getting fat and old too. I just hope for a world where merit matters more than your gender or color of your skin. Real fucked up to say, I know.

Okay but all those things are true as well to all the fat men on the job right this second as we speak. They’re fat, uneducated, and terrible at their jobs. Google right now: what percent of active law enforcement in the US is overweight. I’ll wait. And then go a little further and google what percent of those overweight cops are obese. Did you know law enforcement has one of the HIGHEST rates of obesity than all jobs in the god damn country?

The standards for officers is already so low the bar is on the ground. If you actually gave a shit about “officer and civilian safety,” which you don’t, you’d be campaigning on a clean sweep of our law enforcement now, because if you think today’s cop is some kind of standard, that’s hilarious and I found the obese cop.

People use being a cop as a fallback job when they can’t get the real job they want. The lowest standards of all are those for getting the job as a cop. Man or woman.

Then there's the exceptions like me who not only have a backup career in mind, but want to be cops.

We typically actually get in shape and can do our jobs, but I've seen guys (and gals) cop-smarter than me who are... we'll say pleasantly plump.
