As referenced during the intro to this piece, none other than The Great Khali was actually a police officer in his native India before becoming World Champion in WWE. It's a wonder crime didn't plummet with the giant walking around in uniform. We wonder if Khali even needed a gun.

Joining the Punjab police force in 1993, the ambling big man must have resembled something out of the Police Academy series. Just like Hightower in those movies, Khali would have been an intimidating sight when breaking up disturbances or answering distress calls.

Forget being a criminal in India when he was around; Khali must have been the pride of his precinct. We can't picture the slow-moving behemoth doing much running though. He was never the quickest on his feet due to bad knees in wrestling, so it must have been a challenge for Khali to chase down thugs on the streets.
