Try to impose and/or enforce physical fitness requirements like the military and I bet there would be lawsuit.

Think those vests offer much protection?

^THIS

It's a constant battle. No matter what standard you come up with you will find some wannabe cop that cant pass it and throws up a complaint that it's not practical. Local SD used to have a mile and a half run requirement. Then people complained claiming that they would never have to run that far on the job. They, and the courts, completely missed the point that they can't exactly have a PT test where guys throw down for three minutes at 100%. The run was the next best thing to try make sure they have the fitness to live through a fight. Now in the interest of reduced liability, fear of on the job injuries during said PT test, and an inability to find anyone willing to do the job anymore, most departments have no test or physical standard.

That being said, PT test or not, these boys need to have some respect for the job and themselves. That's downright embarrassing. But as others have said maybe it was a tactical decision to ensure bad guys bullets dont have over-penetration.
 
Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 5-year-old girl and some construction workers that will make you believe that we all can make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time.

A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot. One day, a construction crew began to build a house on the empty lot. The family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in the goings-on and spent much of each day observing the workers.

Eventually the construction crew, all of them 'gems-in-the-rough,' more or less, adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her during coffee and lunch breaks and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first week, they even presented her with a pay envelope containing ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who suggested that she take her ten dollars 'pay' she'd received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.

When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with a real construction crew building the new house next door to us."

"Oh my goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be working on the house again this week, too?"

The little girl replied, "I will, if those assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the fuckin' sheet rock."

Kind of brings a tear to the eye - doesn't it?
 
What they should do is place those truly obese behind a desk and leave them doing inventory, parking tickets, etc. Those meeting the standards should receive an incentive pay. But we all know how long before that system would be corrupted or complaints follow.
 

The topic du jour on my local Neighborhood App. Or Yentas Central as is should be named. Nothing but whining and complaining about every mother fucker who didn't wear a mask or wears it wrong or doesn't social distance properly while biking at the local park. It's so fucking telling of what we've become. Pretty sure they have a snitches central thread going too as all they do is parrot whatever the latest medical "experts" propaganda on how a cotton t-shirt actually stops mucus. Fucking parasites.
 
The sun won't kill that virus, you'll have to cut it off now... the shame will live with you forever! You should have stayed sober.
I knew what I was letting myself in for when I posted that it was an oddball from normal roll. After Moose posted those I came across that one and thought I’ll throw this on his messing whatever he was intending there. It was a pure theme take-off switch-up. Don’t worry I wasn’t drunk...that pic...it’s not what I dooooo 😉.
 
That is nothing compared to the pad-lock set up on the Colorado Rifle Club. Pure Voodo witch-craft set up for multiple pad lock access. I literally can explain quantum mechanics better than how the CRC gate works.

I never could understand the logic behind those multiple padlock access "systems".

Would it not be easier just to create a "chain" from the padlocks - using the padlock hasps as links in the "chain"?

Open your lock - and break the "chain" - and open the gate. Lock two other locks together with your lock and join the chain back together. Sounds pretty easy to me.

If the multiple locks will not form a long enough chain with just the hasps, use short pieces (three links or so) between each padlock.

Of course, this system will only work if a chain is used to lock the opening. If there is some type of pin or other hasp, you will have to use another system - but it does work just fine on gates.

That absolutely works...until some douche nozzle locks your lock out of the chain. 😡😡😡
