I could probably count on one hand the number of times that a female cop was any sort of help to her male partner. At best, they are usually unhelpful. At worst, which is often, the male officer has to not only worry about the suspect, but also the safety of his female partner. A lot of screaming, usually, and a lot of unhelpfulness. They also appear to generally be worse at de-escalation, which is somewhat understandable, given that they go into these encounters with no ability to subdue a suspect without using a weapon.
