Good grief!  😨

They don't walk the beat anymore, too much sitting at a desk or in the police cruiser, and the cops on Bicycles or "Copcycles" are probably on E-Bikes now too

They ain't protecting and serving anyone!

Defund the Police cafeteria!

They put the two biggest fatsos front and centre.

I'm kinda fat myself and I'm still having a laugh at their expense!

I am a little overweight, but not morbidly obese!  In my experience, the physical appearance of officers or deputies is the result of the attitude and actions of the chief or sheriff.  Chiefs and sheriffs who are diligent in watching over their departments and have a goal of proper appearance and duty to the public tend to enforce policies that keep officers and deputies in fit condition.  Those who don't care, well, it shows like the picture above.  I work in a very small town, I've seen that town's department go both directions.

Phew, thanks for that. For a second I was thinking it was true what they say about American police and doughnuts. 

Gotta be one of these nearby!

 

Having worked at the Military Police desk at the Presidio in San Francisco over 30 years ago (especially on midnight shifts), I can attest to why police are associated with doughnuts:

Any particular flavor? I bet its just the jam ones. You call it jelly, don't know why. Its a mystery.

Oh, boy!  Here it comes! " I am a jelly doughnut!" Famous quote from a bygone era!  (JFK)

I think we are still within the boundaries of the topic.  Overweight police??

Actually, there wasn't that much doughnut action.  It's more about the limited options for eating after midnight.  The Presidio wasn't a big installation, so there was no 24-hr. mess hall.  MPs would get extra pay called "separate rations" for purchasing their own meals. So, food acquisition was a major topic.  For those of us on the desk, "what are we eating later" was the first order of business.  Come to a consensus on what we felt like, where to order from, did they deliver, etc.  The worst thing to order would be pizza.  If it were just the group on the desk ordering, when it came, there would be an intermittent stream of patrolmen coming in and looking at it with sad eyes saying "can I have a slice?" You really can't refuse them, but before you know it it's all gone and you didn't have much.  One of the dispatchers came up with a brilliant idea.  She was a vegetarian and asked me if I liked pesto.  I did, but never tried it on a pizza.  Her plan was that we would share a pesto pizza.  Sure enough, when they started asking us for a slice, she offered them some of ours.  They were expecting pepperoni or sausage but saw ours and said, "What's that green $#*+? No thanks."  Worked like a charm 😄

One night a delivery person from a Chinese restaurant came running into the station & onto the desk area (not allowed) waving a paper and yelling "Why I get ticket? Why I get ticket?" He was delivering an order to another part of the post & was pulled over for speeding.  After they calmed him down, squared him away with the ticket and he left, the desk sergeant called in the patrolman who gave him the ticket and chewed him out.  "That guy delivers our food here! You can't give him a ticket! We can't order from them anymore, who knows what they'll do to our food, spit on it or something worse!"
