I am an instructor at several police academies out west and have noticed a similar disturbing trend among the new hires. Some can't do a single pull up, can only muster a couple of real push-ups and couldn't run a mile faster than 9 mins. if their lives depended on it. A lot more obesity and we are talking young (19-23) adults here. Many of them don't make it past the 1st few weeks. Not good.
How did they get hired in the first place? ?

The government isn't the solution for many problems. It's usually the problem. Either people want to be fat losers or not. People make those decisions for themselves. Unfortunately we are making the decision to become fat and soft. Not good.
When did these 18 year-olds became obese?
You expect pre-teens and teenagers to refuse the food that mom and dad are feeding them and insist on eating right?
C'mon...

Who cares. In the USA the cops just shoot you dead for any reason. The Govt doesn't care about your life.

NK police can fight man-to-man without guns. USA police always run away in a fight. They only know how to shoot guns.
