My local police needed buy a few SUVs with more space in the back because their regular patrol cars couldn't seat obese people.

Imagine how much worse your day gets when you're already being arrested then the cop has to request a bigger cruiser to take you away

"Someone call for a paddy cause we got a fatty"

The police here mostly traded in their chargers for Explorers

That's very accommodating of them, instead of separating his shoulders trying to force just the one handcuff.

I guess not all cops are bastards. /s

Surprisingly accommodating for a cop. Most would just force the guys arms anyway and laugh when it hurt him

Cop probably ran out of strength. It's not as if they're particularly healthy either, after all.

I live outside a larger city and in my town there's maybe one cop I've seen who I thought had a chance at beating me in a footrace.

dont need to beat you in a footrace when they can just shoot you 37 times in the chest

Through the back that is. You threatened the cop b farting on the run after all

The reality is that even if they're pretty in shape, they wear enough gear and body armor that running in that stuff is going to be quite a workout. If you and the cop are equal runners with no gear, you're going to beat him by a mile when he has his gear on.

My friend I'm talking about officers that are 6' 270lbs and it ain't muscle. These cops are obese.

Notice what the arrestee's skin color is. That's why the cop didn't force his arms back.

Was this necessary…it’s not like he’s going to run anywhere. I guess the cuffing is symbolic.

I'm surprised the cuff goes around the wrist

Must be arresting some connected gangster with some police on his payroll. There's no other explanation I can imagine for why they wouldn't hurt him as much as possible.
