  1. I agree. Police should be fit.
  2. Officers are in good shape here too, Olof. Are you sure you weren't watching something from 1970? I certainly wouldn't mess with the guys (and girls) I see patrolling the streets.
  3. Originally posted by Mr_Trek:WAs it in Britain cops where only tested for fitness when they joined, and then grew really fat? i think there was a spot on the news here about that. Things were going to change.

    Yes, we have a pretty low crime rate, yes. Something is done right here I'd say.

    Oh yeah, everything is perfect in Sweden.

    Actually Tim: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2115335/Fat-cop-crackdown-Police-officers-unfit-beat-face-pay-cut--later-retirement-looms-current-head.html

    Kieran: I wish it was. But it's not. I think a lot is good though, is there anything wrong with that? Because a lot of things agree with me, but sure it's not perfect. I'd say the UK is a very good country too.
  5. Nothing is wrong with it, I just notice that you seem to highlight Sweden's good points a lot; and it was basically me being sarcastic about it too.

    Not all police officers are slim, some are fat. Of course some are going to be. That link you posted Olof shows the picture of the two fat police officers - that's not real police officers. Honestly, some of the police here are proper tanks. A guy comes to our school occasionally to talk about the usual drugs and alcohol and he's bald, plus he has massive arms. I wouldn't mess with him. He's practicually Bruce Willis.
  6. I never thought I'd see the Daily Fail mentioned on here. Surprised the headline doesn't say that Fat Cops Kill Children.

    I live between two forces and often see a third force helping out with the football. Have yet to see a fat officer. Although that article does only mention Metropolitan Police so, since I don't live in London...
  7. Kieran, it wasn't a picture I wanted you to look at, I actually didn't look at any myself. It was the stats in that article...

  8. Depends on their tasks. Detective should be as able to be as fat as they want , people on the street should be able to take some one down.

    Lol, take this article instead then, I don't read UK newspapers a lot, so I didn't instantly react. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2115335/Fat-cop-crackdown-Police-officers-unfit-beat-face-pay-cut--later-retirement-looms-current-head.html

    I'd think a review like this should be quite correct.

    Of course it wasn't, hence why you posted a link to an article. I was just pointing out that the picture is only there to make the situation look more worse than it is. That is the Daily Mail for you. They're almost as bad as The Sun. Even then, the stats are probably slightly incorrect considering it is published by The Daily Mail.

    One thing I would agree with is that the British justice system is shit.

    "You're sentenced to 3 years in jail"
    ...
    "You've only been in for 16 months, but ah, you've been on best behaviour so we'll let you out. Don't commit any more crimes now!"
