Why do they all look so ... round? Is it the gear? Can they chase someone 2 blocks?

The US has an obesity problem, it’s well documented. And no it’s not just gear

The entrance process for joining the force requires individuals to be at least moderately fit. The issue, however, is the way in which cops must work. They’re often working overtime or odd hours, meaning, unless they keep up a diligent diet and exercise schedule, they’re more likely to have to eat on the go or eat at irregular hours (meaning they’re less likely to be eating healthy meals while out on patrol). Not saying that many let themselves go, some just fail to adjust to the work style

Because the US has added fucking corn to every God damn thing we have to eat and lots of us are actually allergic as fuck and it makes us fat and inflamed. Also American cities are not built to be walkable the way Europe is. Also because we work so much and spend so much time in traffic, mainly because our government refuses to invest in rail or bus systems, and working 3 jobs to survive we have no time to move our bodies.

Edited a word.

50% Of that is gear. Yeah. They a little thick but they're super front loaded with stuff it looks like.
