If It's An Emergency, You Want Superman

This short item is about an applicant for the North Carolina State Police who died during a physical fitness test, and the first impulse is to make the obvious jokes about how he failed the test. That's not fair, because those tests aren't easy. They're not supposed to be easy. Yet we could bring up the talk over the years of making the tests easier to pass for applicants with different physical abilities, like women and the disabled. Are those tests too hard? Considering the jobs, shouldn't they require strength and agility well above and beyond what most people can do? (Raleigh News and Observer)
