Leeroy, it doesn't really make any sense at all to spend time away from the physical training that is going to improve the capability that dominates the situation 90% of the time in order to indulge training for an eventuality that front-line LEO and military veterans insist almost never happens at all.
And I can't for the life of me see why some people (like this boneheaded Deputy Chief) have such are hard time understanding the idea that we need to train for performance instead of training for health. Like, the military, law enforcement should conduct their physical training to be dominant on the field, not to theoretically extend their lifespans by 6 months 4 decades from now. A guy in a gym who's going to kit up and go face bad guys - LEO or military - should be uncompromisingly training to kick ass in that arena. He's fundamentally separate from the obese, polypharmalogical, Metabolic Syndromatic, hypertensive that starts training in order to not die in 3 years.
