A diet of fizzy drinks, tacos and sweets is weighing down crime fighters and leaving criminals on the run.

Authorities in Aguascalientes want to offer 100 pesos ($9) for every kilo shed by their portly policemen.

About a quarter of the city's 1,600-strong force are reported to be overweight. Doctors would decide how much weight each needed to lose.

"We do have some fat officers. We have been encouraging them for a while to lose weight, to be more agile, to do sport," a police spokesman told Reuters.


Dude, what's wrong with some love-handles, uh? Isn't it like the blind
people, who develop tremendously other senses? Could it be that the
fat police officers, since they cannot run, develop their investigation
skills?!?!?!

Teach them to shoot straight. Then they don't need to run either!

In Australia, the police in the state of Victoria have the reputations for being the straightest shooters.
40 fatal police shootings 20 years. (1985- 2005)
Their claim to fame came in 1993 when they had 9.
No one messed with the Victorian police for a while after that.

It's against the law to shoot in the back.
