I've run into a lot of cops in my 20+ years of driving. Some were really cool, others were incredible pricks including one who made up charges among other "interesting" experiences. And I go back and forth on "what makes a bad cop?"

Is he the high school bully that extended his reign?

Is he a good guy that intimately works everyday with the worst humanity has to offer? How do you do that and stay true to your values?

I'm sure there's some of each on every squad, but those who chose the profession ultimately have my respect and I'm glad that there is a vast majority of good cops versus bad cops out there, at least in my experience.

Question for the Officers here:

Why are you allowed to be fat and generally out of shape? I see fat cops in Boston and NYC all the time. Seems like being in shape is part of the job description. How can you keep your job and be overweight and out of shape? Are there departments where you are fired if you don't meet certain baseline physical criteria?
