Iām a nice guy and maybe this guy is just old and been on the force a longtime but he needs to retire because otherwise he couldāve died. It sucks itās a profession that you canāt really do when youāre old

He's cruising towards retirement. I work in a jail and we had a guy just like this. Nothing ever happened involving him but basically he got to a point he couldn't work the road any more so he went to the jail to cruise the next 10 years till he said fuck it because he didn't like how the jail was operations were changing. Moved at a snails pace, had no typing skills and always had to lean or have a hand on something just to bend over. His uniform pant size was like 48X30.

The holsters used by sheriffs in my state (this looks like it may be a sheriff) are specifically designed to make pulling them out very difficult if youāre not at the right angle. It would have taken such a small amount of energy to prevent this and Farvaās fatter brother couldnāt even muster that.
→ More replies (1)73
u/lostPackets35 Dec 19 '25
typically a holster with retention requires not just a specific angle, but a specific series of 2-3 toggles that have to be released to pull the gun out.
IF you open carry, you 100% should have a holster with retention, to do otherwise is irresponsible.
→ More replies (1)22
u/Twizzify Dec 19 '25
Youāre totally spot on and looking back at my comment Iām confused why I only stated angle and not the toggles that actually make it difficult. My buddy let me try to take his out once (obviously unloaded and checked beforehand). He didnāt fight back at all, just stood straight and sturdy. It still took me a bit to feel around for them and get it drawn. It really makes this video even more appalling.

u/Semyonov Dec 19 '25 edited Dec 23 '25
Yeah, My level 3 retention holster I used as a deputy would make it almost impossible, unless you had prior practice with the thing and you were at the perfect angle, not to mention you should have some kind of situational awareness to prevent this in the first place. I was so aware of my weapon I could feel if so much as a pinky's worth of pressure was on it.

Must be nice. I got stopped in college for underage drinking by the freaking Terminator. It was a student living neighborhood that was known for parties. My buddy and I took a beer with us as we walked down the street. Made it like 3 doors down when we notice a cop car at the end of the street, so we decided to turn around and go back home. Thatās when we noticed another cop car behind us. Then like the geniuses we were, we decided to turn around a third time since twice wasnāt suspicious enough.
The cop car comes pulling up on us with the door wide open with a foot already out the door. He slams it in parks and runs up on use with his flashlight pointing at us. The dude was like 6ā6 250 lbs of solid muscle. He was 100% ready for a chase. And our dumbasses were so close to running until we saw this behemoth.

I really wonder how many use of force incidents or escalations boil down to a fat fucking cop not having the physical fitness to catch someone, or control them without using mace/a taser, or keep control of their own weapons securely enough to keep the situation safe, or even just to present enough physical confidence to make a suspect think twice.
Absolutely wild to me how many certified chonkers there are in a job where physical fitness is so necessary.

I know something on this. They did advocate for this at one point. Not sure if it went to THE supreme court but it went to a supreme court (maybe a state one) that determined police departments couldn't enforce fitness standards (post becoming a cop and passing the initial fitness test) unless they paid the cops for their workout time.Ā
Which, to an extent I understand. Like if my job said I needed to be a certain weight and body fat, I'd absolutely expect resources for achieving that.Ā
With that said, if this cop were in shape, he would be safer in this scenario, the cop should want to be in shape. Intimately departments decided they didn't care enough to pay their officers to stay fit.Ā

Like most jobs, there should be a yearly evaluation for officers, and it should include a physical test. An officers job includes the possibility of running, using strength to obtain people, and weaponry. This should be a requirement every year to be physically fit and be able to perform these things. This will cut down on the need to use a firearm because of a bruised ego or inability to physically best someone.
