Default Terrible Case of Discrimination

This police officer was fired beacuse he is slightly overweight. Luckily he has been reinstated for now. I don't understand why he was fired. He looks like he is in good shape and is quite capable of doing the job. I'm glad justice prevailed. I'm curious what you guys think.

I thought it was a video for America's funniest home video's!

Dont think he'll have a problem sitting in a car and aiming a radar gun.

But yes, people who may risk the chance of getting in a gun fight should be able to balance on one knee.

How in the world could that guy have been reinstated? That guy is hardly in good enough shape to get up off the couch. In addition, you would have thought that he would have at least tried to lose some weight while he was trying to get his job back.

Anyway, there is no way that guy should be on the police force while he is in that kind of condition.

We need diversity on our police forces not competence. Fat people have feelings too. We may even organize a campaign against McDonalds and Burger King for reparations.

This is an outlier but cops should have to pass rigorous fitness tests for the right to profile.

If he lost his balance and fell on that baby, it was toast.

Seriously, they need some kind of annual work performance test. Many public safety agencies have them in one form or another. I sure wouldn't want him having my back out there.
