Charlie – “YOU want the cop who responds to your 9-1-1 call to be able to subdue an intruder. You aren’t going to be thinking about your taxes when the person between you and a violent attacker is two or three times the attacker’s age. We need young and healthy police officers, firefighters, and corrections officers.”
So when is your wife retiring? Noone wants to put their lives in the hands of a doctor who’s ch’vs middle age! Do you know how much energy it takes to practice medicine? At least as much as being a public safety employee, if not more. I know because I worked on a ambulance, which has twice as much work as any cop or fireman or jail cop and I worked/trained in medicine.
If you want cops to be healthy -tell them that Donut shops are off limits while they are on-duty. Also, like I said before, let them start Walking a beat!
I guess you believe in the saying -that if you repeat lies enough times, people will start to believe them!
