Two Female Cops Lost the Suspect But Got His Jacket and Someone Got Handcuffs as a Souvenir
"That's a hell of a price to pay for being stylish!"
this is at least a year old...
lets be honest. First off, they cant run because of their butts and hips. They are out of balance right there, they cant get proper leverage and there fore, have ZERO upper body strength. That and also with the weight difference, their “sense of being over powered” comes much quicker, and panic sets in. I know Detroit Patrol cops that refuse to work with a female officer...do everything they can to get out of it.
Men and women are not interchangeable. Should not send a woman to do a man’s job.

It is why I oppose females in combat. Society has made the decision to put peoples lives at risk on police forces and firefighting teams, and we have to live with that.
That alone should've made this an easy arrest for them, perhaps even one of them if they were mean and tough.
I'm a dude and that would have likely been my go to if needed. Where the head goes the body will follow.
Females in combat-
I wish the US DoD would release information on the percentage of females that are or become non-deployable due to pregnancy when units are called up?
There are so many issues with females in the military. It is simply put, a social experiment and cost/liability where some philosophical egalitarian ideology supersedes what is functional.
I am older, I have several medical conditions. I do not belong in a combat unit. There would be a high chance that I become a liability. But you cannot say that today to other groups that while functionally at a disadvantage are told they have a right to serve because they want to and anyone that disagrees is a “XYZ.”
1. Most people meet their spouse close to where they work, live or go to school. Proximity matters. Many military service members end up marrying other military service members and when both are deployed, you often end up with children that now need a home/family to host them. The military has so called “family care plans” to cover these issues. Sometimes these actually work. LOL
2. There still is the issue of rape when women are taken POW.
3. Women do not have a lower retention rate because they are picked on. They have a lower retention rate because they find a spouse, have children and their priorities change. That means they are inherently not as good an investment, all the invested training and experience is more likely to be lost.
4. Many places where we do business, you have locals that do not accept a woman in a leadership role, or giving a man an order, etc.
5. When physical hygiene breaks down, women are more likely to fall ill. Men don’t get urinary track, bladder or kidney infections as easily.
6. When you have a unit deploy, and it’s 120 men and 18 women, if this deployment is for 18 months, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what will happen when MOST of these people are between the ages of 19 - 30. This can have a negative impact on order and discipline. It can also become very negative with assault on the women.
7. Women simply are physically weaker, lighter, shorter, and much of the military is physical. A weapon system, ordnance, or tank track doesn’t become lighter when a woman has to carry or lift them. All that really happens, in the real world, is that the men are burdened by having to carry more weight. The curve you show demonstrates this very well. Infantry, armor, artillery... these are ALL occupations where brute strength impacts how well you can do your job. That simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrsPQje_Wjo That shell being thrown around by the guy carrying it, weighs 95 lbs. Tank track don’t become lighter if a woman is on the crew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq9FhyLrjHE
8. The US DoD had more people become non-deployable and get sent home, than they took casualties from all enemy activity in Iraq. Women get pregnant, get sent home, and the unit loses needed personnel.
When you combine all the negative aspects of incorporating women across all military occupations, in all the various military formations and down to the lowest commands, you are “begging” for problems.
It merely works out for us because we go to war with such an overwhelming advantage, with such capable logistics, where our battlefield operating systems can keep up and do not break down, which allows this dysfunction/lack in efficiency to essentially be covered up through sheer volume.
IMHO, we are at a point where between women, environmental concerns, race pandering (identity politics), and LGBTQIAA+, our military if put in a situation where it is under true stress, where they are pushed beyond their limits and things begin to break down, you would see this weakness amplify the problem.
It’s all fine in peace time - and when you have control. When things are going well and you have resources to squander.
