Ex-Squeeze Us?

We thought we were trying to fill vacancies?

• I just saw on the 10 o'clock news that J-Fed fired 4 recruits who had started the academy 4 days ago because he was unimpressed with their performance during gym. I know some people will say that we don't need out of shape recruits. But remember, these men or women gave up jobs and made sacrifices to start the academy.
  
  We all remember someone that was huffing and puffing during "Welcome to the Gym", worked hard and came out OK. I have no personal knowledge about these recruits. I am just a little concerned about how arbitrarily J-Fed fires people.
  
  It was the 4th day. Give them a chance. Especially when we are so short on the street. Not enough situps? I can't remember the last time I called time out while wrestling an offender to squeeze out a couple crunches. But then again, we have to make sure everyone knows Jody means business. What a stroke!

This isn't up on the news websites yet. But is this for real? We thought the Academy was a place to prepare these recruits for the streets? Build them up? Get them in shape? These kids took the power test how many weeks and months ago? And four days in, they're fired? How many thousands of dollars have already been invested in their testing, background checks, psych screening, etc? No "Welcome to the Gym?" No "Breakfast Club?" No seeing which recruits might actually be salvageable in terms of a few situps?

Guess what the remaining recruits are learning already about the Department having your back?
