Seriously my sister asked me who's hiring I said ice is. They got all the government money.

Meal Team Six veteran...

They dropped all standards so this is the result. No GED or diplomas required, untrained, 50+ yr old-out of shape ICE agents? It's not at all about actual policy or legitimacy anyway 🤷 Like seeing a 350lb Cardiologist....

Body shaming is discrimination. I don't give a FUCK who it is....if you do it, you're helping normalize it for everyone else. I'm fat. Would you insult me like that, too, even though my eating disorder was caused by years of abuse? Yes, because you'd just see a fat body. Why doesn't matter.

We can reasonably expect a certain level of physical fitness from security professionals whose job it is to physically protect us. The contrast between that expectation and reality is striking in this case. It doesn't apply to you. I am sorry for your sorrows and I wish you well.

I. Don't. Care. Bodyshaming is bodyshaming is bodyshaming.

I was also in the military, so I understand the critical need for physical fitness requirements for all law enforcement and military personnel. The rigors of the job put this fella at risk of severe health issues, which would now be paid by taxpayers. I get your point, though, about shaming.

You are right. The fat cop should have already been fired quietly and tactfully. He is apparently well-connected to still have a job, but We the People should not have to pay for cops who are morbidly obese and incapable of doing normal cop tasks. Public exposure is appropriate in this case.

Ah, yes. These were the rotund fellas of the “Federal Protective Service” during Reagan. We dismissively referred to them as “Fat Police Service” DHS should have a minimum physical standard the same as FBI. Hiring fat racists isn’t just a bad flex: it’s Nuremberg Crimes level bad.

Nah, I think that's Union Station.

You know what...I think you are right. Looks almost identical to our entrance at the Department of the Interior on C St NW, but that sign looks like an advertisement, which we don't have.

It was TAXIS over the doorway that gave it away. I've never been in the Interior building, but the GSA building (which was originally Interior's) has some of the same style. I suspect they were all built around the same time.

I think even at 65 with a bad knee I could still run from him. 🤔

Unfit For Duty

That’s a federal agent???

Yes and no. He wears the duds, but he definitely hasn't passed any of the physical training.
