 He can't get up from a kneeling position, How the hell is he qualified to be a Cop ?

WTF, he can't even stand up from kneeling

he has no place on the force.

Actually, legally he does. Morally I would 200% agree with you.
But this is a time that when we live by law as we should we get the bad end of the deal.

Also remember that the supreme court has ruled recently (again) that the police do not have to protect you or provide services in a timely fashion. I will be looking for that url as I remember it within the last week or so.

The SCOTUS made that ruling in a 70's gang rape case where DC police merely drove by a couple times during the womens (3 of them ) 16 + hour ordeal.

Officer Doughboy is a disgrace to his oversize uniform.

Sad all of the way around. While he is back on the force, I hope that he can be confined to desk duty. There should be physical requirements in place before an officer can hit the streets.

As long the union maintains that: "there is no physical requirement for existing officers", it would appear that the Departments hands are tied.

I find it disturbing that a police union would take such a stance. The union should support physical requirements for the safety of its members.........................not to mention the safety of the public.

thats not a union, thats a cartel.

If you can do the job, fine, if you can't, you have no place there, peroid.  he clearly could not,  in constuction we have a saying.

people only work when the check book is on site.  meaning you can get your last check at any time.

I did not hear at anytime, his intentions of losing weight and getting more fit. Although sympathetic, he should not be on the street, IMHO, his comments about the the situation not being over, I can believe, he has not changed, and the job has not changed, he is not able for the street job. Fire fighters have a serious physical test, not many of us could pass, and I am glad, if you got a fire fighter at your door, he can carry you up or down a flight of stairs, give you cpr etc... not to dis a cop ever, but that is a serious job requirement, at least here in Dallas county, it is status quo, I would like to see the man lose some weight, get serious about his job, and what it takes to do it. If not there is always barber college.

screw the job, he needs to lose wieght for his well being.
