I have grave concerns about the weight gain. Because if he was close to being in shape last year, that would represent a gain in weight of over 100 pounds in 6 months. Even our football linemen don't gain weight that fast. They are lucky if they gain 50 pounds in one year. in my younger days without any exercising, and eating anything and everything i wanted, I gained about 10 pounds between the age of 20-30. To me that represents a total lack of healthy eating, and zero exercise.
as for the racist remarks, police don't go out looking for Blacks driving cars. What they look for is people driving cars suspiciously after 2 AM. if he was driving normaly, he wouldn't have drawn attention to himself.
I was stopped once for driving down the middle of the road at 2 AM. I explained to the officer it was the best time to shop at Kroger, and that there was a nest of racoons in the culvert. I even pointed out where the culvert was. I didn't want to accidently drive over the baby racoons. When he asked what i was drinking, I offered him my taco bell taco and a mountain dew and one of my ice cream drumsticks. . he informed me to drive safely home, avoid animals and place my ice cream in the freezer. it was the last time an officer ever bothered to stop me. I guess after I kept talking and rambling for 20 minutes, he was telling himself, why did I ever stop this guy?
