You completely miss the point: it would never occur to a man to allow another man to attack him. Our testosterone-driven brains would cause us to take the adversary on, using whatever lay at hand as necessary. For a law enforcement officer to just allow him/herself to be beaten nearly to death is ridiculous and incomprehensible.

In the infantry, the only successful combatants have to be able to kill without any second thoughts. Hesitation is death to yourself and the men around you.

The next hard part is getting them to stop after they've started. No place for ladies (or soft men), period.

And you missed my point. You don't know what the Chicago politics are here and what the relationship is between the mayor and the CPD.

You have no idea what is happening in Chicago. The police are being pissed on here. They have the Obama's DOJ and the Mayor's Office breathing down their necks. You bringing YOUR biases into this is beyond the pale.

I was being a bit facetious.
