Just an FYI - the detective who wrote the piece is a she/her/female. There’s a photo at the link.
Two thoughts - if toxicology shows pot laced with PCP, then it wouldn't matter if she was a 100 lb. officer, or a SWAT team member ‘roided out at 300 lbs.
I lived in OC before crack and PCP. Once those arrived, along with Jamaican posses, crime was much different and more dangerous. I remember several instances where it took six or eight officers to subdue one perp.
Good article, thanks for posting.
