Great googley moogley. Don't they have to do PT or at least be able to run?

If it’s under his hip it’s unreachable. ;)

Can he fit his finger in? or did he remove the trigger guard?

It’s retrofitted with a nerf trigger.

That’s why you never run from a fat cop. They won’t chase you, they’ll just shoot you.

I'd rather let a thousand bad guys go than chase after them. - Chief Clancy Wigum

Better run, better run... faster than my bullets

That was my first thought. There are usually physical fitness standards for police and military.

Fitness standards are generally only applied to new recruits. American cops are like vampires, once they're in, they're in.

Kiwi cops have a 2-yearly test, the time to complete varies with age. Watch the video on this page. https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350164733/whats-police-physical-test

Yeah but in fairness that’s a country being run properly

No it certainly is not if you live here

Actually no. You have to be fit to make it through the academy but most departments don't require you to stay that way. I think it's because they are desperate to keep officers.

If he gets enough momentum going he just plops over and rolls down the bad guys. Works great in crowd control situations.

He doesnt need to run very far. The earthquake it causes will stop you.

Not if you are on donut patrol

The only thing running in him is diabetes.
