subject: Should this guy be a cop?

I mean, granted, I have seen cops with beer guts.

But 5 feet 9 and 300 pounds??!!??
Uh uh.

Chris Parent said he was flabbergasted Monday when he was sent home on his
first day back on the job as a Bellevue police officer.

Parent, 53, was reinstated last Wednesday after 20 months of legal battles
with the City of Bellevue that began when he was fired for not being
physically fit.

He said in an interview Tuesday that he was handed a letter and told to go
home after he arrived Monday for his first day back at work.

Parent said the letter was to inform him that he was on paid leave, pending
a medical evaluation.

"I was completely flat-footed," he said. "I was ready to go
back to work."

Michael Polk, an attorney representing the city, said Parent is a city
employee. Like all sworn officers, Parent is required to pass a state
qualification gun test before he can act in the official capacity of an
officer.
