It shows twenty (20) cops, and NOT ONE of them are what I would consider fat (though at extreme left, there is a Puerto Rican cop with sunglasses who might be "chubby."). No forty-plus waists, no bellies that would indicate advanced stages of pregnancies, no shirt buttons looking like they were about to explode and hurt someone, nothing. Now compare them to twenty random cops you saw on TV New Years' Eve, when the ball dropped, and it's sickening; I looked pretty close, and I'd say HALF of the cops I saw were not merely "hefty," but disgustingly overweight, and all looked fairly young, too. I guess this is what happens when they have a "any warm body will do" attitude at Recruitment? Is a new radio code needed for this new breed of overfed, ticket-writing zombies, like "10-40G"- gun belt broke?" .......or; 10-40F: "Fallen and can't get up!" .............10-40S: "Stuck in Radio car!" .............10-40B: "Need BOOMERANG to put on belt! .............10-62OS: "Can't suit up- Equipment section out of XXXXXXXL shirts!" .............10-63F: "Forthwith!" ..............10-85S: "Need additional unit to come & tell me if I put on BROWN shoes by mistake!"

But.......... ........It's always easier to blame "society" for a lot of social ills, but I can't buy it in this case. First, being grossly overweight in uniform shows not only a lack of self-control, but a lack in professionalism and pride, as well as selfishness on the cops' part; not only are these lardasses an embarrassment appearance-wise, but there's no way in hell these out-of-shape butterballs can protect the public, themselves, or their fellow cops when things really get hairy. And of course they know it, but instead of doing something about it (diet, exercise) they instead take a "so what?" attitude. SOLUTION: Instead of random drug tests, how about random FAT tests? Put them on the scale, write down their weights, look them up on the BMI charts, and give them a fixed (and I mean FIXED) amount of time to get in shape. (Come to think of it, "random" tests would be silly. Just have every CO in the city put down the names of any cop in his command who looks like they'd get winded peeling an orange and forward their names to Lefrak.) If they fail, treat them as you would a guy who failed the Dole test; someone who obviously doesn't want to keep his job. I'm done. Last Edited By: LouieLooseCheeks 01/07/12 17:10:33. Edited 3 times.

They are told to stand on the corner, and eat on post. The only exercise they get is walking to and from post. The grass may look greener on the other side, but look out for the snakes.

Have you EVER started a post where you had something positive to say, you shyt stirring juvenile ? I seriously doubt that you were ever even on the job. Probably a buff that couldn't make it past the psych and has been bitter ever since.

There were plenty of fat, cigarette smoking, daily drinking, no exercising cops when I came on (early 90s) and there were guys in great shape. Lot less females in he 70s too. Everyone as a different life situation and sadly other than promotional exam points we offer no incentive on our job.

They came on the job fat in the first place! Ever since the late seventies, because of political correctness and lowering standards, no investigator that wanted to keep his/her gig would ever tell a perspective overweight candidate they were too fat and would look ridiculous in a uniform, come back when you lose some weight. Then once in the academy the fatties were picked on and ridiculed somewhat, but were still allowed to drop out or skip runs and P/T entirely, all because of their weight. Then they were allowed to graduate with everyone else and just kept on getting bigger and the results is what you see today.

C'mon now sport. You obviously have six pack abs and 20 inch arms so put your money where your mouth is, and post a real picture of yourself. Either that, or SHUT THE FVCK UP already with your constant criticisms of everyone else on this job.

We had two cop's and I mean two cop's who were definitely overweight. They were sent down to 346 Bway and the most hefty one was told to slim down or get surveyed. Cop #2 heard that and told the hard ass Sgt. you survey him and watch me start eating. Both those cop's ended there careers after doing twenty years. Both those guys were good cops, they never backed down from anyone.

Its true that years ago guys put on weight on the job and lived unhealthy lifestyles. But if you start out chubby, the chances are you will be a blob in your 40s. Its all about standards. For sure, more guys hit the gym these days but still we are a LOT fatter than 40 years ago. No member of law enforcement should ever join the NRA after they referred to federal law enforcement as 'jack booted thugs'. Thats when George H.W. Bush publicly quit. There are other gun rights lobbying groups that do not demean our fellow law enforcement officers. Its one thing to attack the laws or the lawmakers, but I will not join a group that demeans fellow law enforcement officers.

Posts: 628 01/09/12 08:39:47	I came in the Job weighing in @ 135. Left 29 years later @ 225. I remember having a conversation with Police Surgeon Thomas about this very issue. I would have !@%%%*! and moaned if the PD had a mandatory program to keep the weight down, or else.........Knowing what I know now I would have welcomed and thanked them for keeping me aware that if one doesn't take care .... We spoke about why the JOB didn't deal with grossly over weight cops. It was very simple, or as one earlier poster pointed out - you want an ordinary disability pension and a early way out - Go to Mickey D's and load up.

And at the same time we're more sedentary. HFCS instead of the cane sugar we grew up on. High Carb diets that are grain/wheat based. Once again, it isn't the same wheat we ate as kids....they've increased the strength of it. Not only that but grains spike blood sugar and insulin...making you fat and possibly Diabetic. Vegetable Oils...pur bodies don't metabolize them well. While at the same time we're told to avoid healthy fats...the ones humans have been eating for 10,000 years. Fast Food ? You know it's sickening you....and your kids. Whatever...very few care. But they all want cheap healthcare.
