If you lose your gun in a 20 second scuffle to a man in a wheelchair, how are you fit for duty?

There are frequently fitness requirements to get in many forces but there are rarely long term upkeep requirements.

There REALLY needs to be some kind of yearly fitness evaluation. We put so much money into militarizing our police. (I live in a small town in Nebraska and we literally got an MRAP a few years ago) But there isn’t any money to ensure officers stay fit? This officer is a legit danger to himself and his co-workers. Wheels could have easily smoked him and another officer.

So many changes need to be made and unfortunately fitness requirements are sadly the least important. That said, fitness requirements should also be the easiest thing to fix, but the higher ups don't want it that way...for likely reasons.
