How is someone that gets out of breath eating a donut going to protect and serve anyone?

    Since you’re using terminology tied to BMI, it is important to note that it’s use for police officers doesn’t accurately reflect reality.

    A lot of cops take their fitness regime seriously, including building a lot of muscle mass. If you have significant muscle mass, you are going to be considered obese or morbidly obese per BMI even though they are in great physical shape. This would be true for other fields like firefighters.

        I didn’t have context for your comment and I didn’t say all cops. From what I read, you could have been pulling a stat without context.

      Exact. I started working out to lose weight and turned from slightly over weight to obese. I lost a decent amount of fat but gained a lot of weight building up muscle mass. 12 kg in about a year. BMI sucks.
