Some cops are fat, yeah. Also, a lot of cops aren't. The ones sent to beat the shit out of protestors aren't the fat ones.

Since you're using terminology tied to BMI, it is important to note that it's use for police officers doesn't accurately reflect reality.

A lot of cops take their fitness regime seriously, including building a lot of muscle mass. If you have significant muscle mass, you are going to be considered obese or morbidly obese per BMI even though they are in great physical shape. This would be true for other fields like firefighters.
