What is the last word? It appears to be "lift", as best I can tell, but I am not certain that I can read it correctly.

Yes. You should be able to Left Click on the image and from the pop-up either Open Link in New Tab/Window or View Image in the current tab. The resulting image is bigger than in OP and that last word becomes readably readable.

I have to confess that my grasshopperly cynical mind made me wonder initially whether the cop was quite short and "needed" lifts.

Yes, the student was taunting him with not having a muscle tone that would be consistent with lifting weights. And some helpful witness duly recorded the taunt in the official record, where a crime-beat reporter could pick it up and publish it straight-faced.

"Do you even lift?" is a meme on fitness / weightlifting sites.
