That we put women into these situations does not speak to our sophisticiation nor enlightenment. It's actually quite backwards and regressive.

are at a serious physical disadvantage when confronting stronger men. In my opinion, she should have deployed her taser before she got too close to the guy. The cop is lucky she didn’t get hurt worse.
Edit: female cop
She took one for the team. I'm also wondering if this incident led her to rethink her career choice. Don't know what led to this confrontation but perhaps waiting for back up was in order. A sucker punch could bring down anyone. What led to this?

Not sure that guy should ever again be a part of civilized society...not because of the injuries, but because of his willingness to dole them out at a moments notice. Would anyone here do that?

You think women are the only ones subdued by perps?

There are plenty of “small” men that can do this work. Tunnel rats during the Vietnam war were small in size. There are plenty of “small” police officers that do the job effectively.

On a “staycation”. Had to take the pup to the vet for his boosters.
You insinuated “all” small men aren’t suited for police work, military, and such. I pointed out the usual flaw in your logic by stating that there are small men who can effectively do those jobs and do them well. I served with a few small men that humped their shit like the rest of us. Hell, I was only 170 lbs when I jumped into combat. I jumped in a 110lb ruck with other items and I was combat ready.
Regardless of criteria - size, age, gender.....the selection needs to be based on merit, not DEI.
Not me. I never did and I gave you some examples of “some” that can do those jobs effectively. I hope that helps.
race/gender/religion/age/sexual preference. Because discrimination aside, no group has "all" people within it that can do the job.
That is not what DEI espouses. It espouses hiring be based not on merit, but on creating diversity. It espouses looking past more qualified candidates to hire a candidate based on those characteristics instead. It assumes that "all" can do it, and that merit doesn't matter.
Your belief is very Trumpian, and I agree. Merit is the way forward, not discrimination based on the above characteristics.
I’m sure you have some friends in the psychiatric field that can help.
There’s no evidence that “DEI” had anything to do with the female officer getting hired. That’s just an asinine assumption on your part. Good luck proving your point because it’s impossible to do so.
the specific example only. Otherwise, you won't acknowledge the greater point....publicly on this board, anyways.
I'm just glad that you agree with Trump about using merit without discrimination.
hiring well before the Trump idiocy and hyper-fixation on DEI. As I’ve mentioned many times, DEI is a nothing burger. It’s just something Trump and his sycophants love to focus on.

That is, assuming you want to think about issues and discuss rational solutions, rather than just saying what you think your party overlords want you to say for political gain.
