Correlation between cop murders and obesity? Hey lovelies! So I just had a thought. I wonder if there is a connection between the rise in obesity and the rise in cop kills. As more and more law enforcement officers are over weight. They don't have the ability to perform, and stop the bad guys like they would if they were in shape. Which by default resorts to more lethal actions.  My dad served for 24 years in law enforcement. And he has stories after stories of fights, chases, beat downs, and tumblings. But when we discuss actual shootings it has always been a life or death situation. There was one story that is definitely debatable. But that was as he got older, and started to get out of shape. So a question for you guys/gals to see if anyone else thinks there may be a connection between the two.
