I kid you not, remember the Indiana town marshall that Joe the Lori-Killer (Scarborough) was going off about last week? Guess what, the Coroner ruled death due to "hardening of the arteries" and other heart diseases exacerbated by getting into a struggle with a suspect, thus a homicide. Haven't heard if they're bringing murder charges against the 17-y-o punk yet. They had a picture of the departed marshall in the paper, just a head-shot, but I could see that the guy was NOT a picture of physical fitness. No neck, just rolls. Looked like a scarf around his throat. Bet he weighed 350-plus. And he was a year younger than me.

When they start penalizing officers that either can't reach or fail to maintain a weight and level of fitness needed to wrestle meth-crazed punks without popping a gasket, then I'll get behind them going after smokers. and I'm an ex-smoker, too. I'm also FAT, and I see the down-side of that more clearly that I do 30 years of smoking.
