No more fitness tests for her.


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – “I think it’s wrong.”

Colorado Springs residents had a lot to say after hearing that Colorado Springs police officers will no longer have to take physical fitness tests this year.
“I think it’s a mistake,” Mary Jo Piccin told CBS4’s Tom Mustin. “I think the police need to be able to chase down them criminals.”

Last Friday the Colorado Springs Police Department agreed to the demands of 12 female officers who filed a civil suit claiming the fitness tests are discriminatory. All the officers were over the age of 40.

The suit will now move to a federal court. Police Chief Pete Carey says he’s disappointed, but will abide by the judge’s decision.
“I very firmly stand behind physical fitness tests for our officers. I think what I’m asking them to do is fair and my hope is a federal judge also agrees with this,” Carey said.

The police test consists of two running exams. Officers also have to do 52 push-ups in 2 minutes, and 45 sit-ups, also in 2 minutes.

The female officers who filed suit had been moved to desk duty after failing the test.

Many residents agreed with the chief, saying the requirements of the job demand fitness. “I remember years ago when there were no fitness standards, and they had some pretty hefty officers … male and female,” said Piccin.

Carey says the policewomen will be now be back on patrol, pending the federal decision, which could take a year or longer. “We’ll suspend tests and hopefully in 2016 we’ll get this in front of a federal court and we’ll make a decision,” he said.

As the fitness flap moves to the federal level, resident Lolly Wood says police should be fighting criminals and not each other — and fitness should be mandatory. “I think they should be mandated to be in fit condition to do the job,” Wood said.

The attorney for the police women declined to speak on camera.

Heaven forbid you want somebody that can actually chase after a criminal.

Just remember - When you're being chased by a bear, you don't have to outrun the bear; you only have to outrun the person next to you. :D

It means you are a misogynist as well as a racist.

Should this fellow policeman take a pay cut as well?

There are a lot of things he can't do, and he is a white man.

If he can't pass the required physical then yes he should take a pay cut.

You seem to be suffering from amnesia or maybe all those years in your gender neutral women's studies classes as fogged your brain. We were told by the Feminazis that if women were allowed to do these traditionally man jobs that standards would never have to be lessened. Women can do ANYTHING a man can. Now those of us in the real world with true respect for women know that it is a complete bullshit. Just like there are things women can do that men can't

A little less time in your diversity classes and more time in the real world will teach you that.

Now please stop with your triggers. I need to go to my safe space
