Parkour should be taught in all police academies...

Scummy displays no physical sign of his fondness for distilled spirits. Bastard.

That doesn't seem that hard in all & I'm unfit.
Think the only thing I'd have a prob with is the right-angled beam (my balance is shit ).

I did the Police fitness test when in my 30s and it sure sorted the boys from the men. The dead body drag was the hardest. I couldn't see the practical application of that when all they need to do is shoot crims and leave them where they lie?

"The Standard" sounds like a bloody joke! Mind you.... they wouldn't want to make it too hard for them

[Road kill]

Fuck me that sounds like all the skills needed to be a good burglar.

Our local cops couldn't get off their arses to drive the 15kms out of town when my place got done over so I doubt they could climb a fucking fence either.
Yet they still have their gang stand over colours,,,,the rules must only apply to real police.

You may need a human shield one day and you'll be all like, Damn! Wish I had put in a bit more effort!

But wait, there's more.

"They" are organising it so I get 28 LESS to do the PCT.

And 23 year olds get 17 seconds MORE.

Go figure.

Last time I had to run down a car thief I was naked, ran real well.

But when I did the PCT the buggers made me wear clothes & shoes - how unrealisitic!
