Shooting and protests in Ferguson, Missouri

[Umbra]

I live in the EU

barely 

and our cops aren't fit fighting machines but corrupt lazy fucks, not every coutry in Europe is Germany and I also doubt it's all gravy there as you make it to be.

Our cops are godlike, every single one personally trained by Mirko Cro cop in MMA. They must have less than 5% body fat, survive 10 high kicks and beat Mirko in ground and pound to pass the police academy.

[Xant]

They are buff, tall, physically and mentally strong warriors.

Now, now, Leshma, this isn't Fapocalypse. Keep your masturbation fantasies in one thread, please.

The description is spot on for Danish and Swedish police. I don't think I've ever seen an even slightly fat or otherwise physically unfit police officer in my entire life, men and women both.

Imo officers should take a fitness test every 2-3 years. Nothing too drastic but just so the basic level of fitness is maintained.
The same way that lifeguards take it. If you cant dive the lenght of half a pool and swim a set amount of meters under a certain time you are not fit to be a lifeguard. If you cant run a distance under a set ammount of time or you cant do a certain ammount of pullups or whatever you are not fit to be a cop.

Sure that all might work in proper countries to.the north of Europe, here in the south it will never happen (not in our lifetime atleast), especially no corruption part

The physical entry test for the German police is actually really really hard. Same for fire fighters.

You have to be top fit to pass it.

What happens afterwards is a whole different matter tho

[Prpavi]

Do they have routine yearly checks or you pass it once and you're good? How does that work?

You've administered mental tests for all of Danish and Swedish police?

Stay on topic, please.

[Xant]

Stay on topic, please.

YOU stay on topic.

[Angantyr]

Concerning physical requirements I believe it is occasionally reviewed, but otherwise staying fit has become culturally internalized.

Northern European police forces spring from the highly militarized 18th and 19th century kingdoms, where the Prussian, Danish and Swedish were per capita some of the most militarized societies in the world.

Till a certain age and rank, I think they do.

I was only commenting on the physical part.

Then Leshma's comment is hardly "spot on." Far from it, even if you're only commenting on the physical part. Northern European police are normal people in a fairly good physical condition. That's it. There's no requirement to be "buff" - most of them aren't. There's no requirement to be "tall" - most of them aren't. And how the fuck do you test for "warriorness"? So no, not spot on. It sounded like masturbatory material.

Xant mental test result : unfit for duty, psychopathic tendency.
