It's a little hard to tell with the vests, but three out of four look at least overweight, and the fit guy went in last. First guy looks like he might have some muscle with his fat, second guy goes in fast so can't really tell, but looks fat, and third guy...third guy looks like he got worn out going up the three front steps.
It's just insane to me. I get individual people getting fat. But an organization such as police should, in an even halfway functional society...simply not select those people. It's not hard. Just hire nonfat people. There's an inherent selection bias that makes it possible for zero percent of the your cops to be fat, if that was something the departments cared about.
I'd wager for every cop that is smartly bulking for advantage there is another fat guy who just claims that to be the case.
Unless you are instantly full body slamming them and then sitting on top, you still need some amount of dexterity and range of motion to remain capable in physical altercations. Especially in terms of maintaining your balance.
That's why boxing isn't dominated by obese guys just showing up either.
Not the prime point...but fat cops shouldn't be a thing.

Cops eat for bulk, because weight gives an advantage in physical altercations. That's why there are weight categories in boxing.

Agreed.
