I saw a sheriff’s deputy in Montana that weighed about 110 pounds...with her weapon holstered.

I thought to myself: you better not engage someone alone

I thought they want to replace police with counselors ?

Policing in this country has been destroyed in many ways. The men who could handle these situations have been forced out in favor of PC-friendly replacements who cannot cut it on the streets. Maybe the bystanders need to let these situations unfold and let the chips fall where they may.

Very few females are able to do the job properly. Unfortunately, all officers have been handcuffed by politicians from doing the job properly.

When I left the infantry and went to join the RCMP (which I ended up turning down, long story), the lady who was doing my resume up was a civilian working for the military. She was typing away and commenting on how she did one of these resumes for some clerk or some such who was leaving the military and applying for the RCMP. She shook her head and said she had no business doing that. When she (the one typing) is at home and calls 911, she doesn’t want some pipsqueak showing up to save the day. She said she wants a 6’2 muscled up ex soldier with big boots to come kick the door in and save her.

She of course was referring to me, but however, I would agree with those sentiments. Females have a place in counseling trauma victims and things of that nature perhaps, but they have zero business being in the front.

Speaking from a combat perspective, I couldn’t imagine having a female fire team partner in a firefight. I’d be combat ineffective because I’d be too worried about keeping her safe. I’m hard wired that way as are many men, and that can’t be trained out. The you and her are a liability.

Female POW, I won’t even go there.

I wouldn’t have tried punching the attacker. His head position invites one to attempt a field goal with his head.

If she's not willing to use the equalizer tools, what is she going to do?

She ought to take three days pay and give a day each to those three men while profusely apologizing for putting them in harm's way.

Now, I know what happened was terrible, and I hope she’s all right, but maybe IT’S ABOUT TIME WOMEN PATROLLED A DAMNED DESK!

Rant over. Hopefully she recovers and shoots his ass while he’s doing something else stupid.

Like another reply said, PC genderism crap is gonna kill us.

As good as the ones on the right may be, I want those goons on the left to be looking after me if I’m in witness protection.

“Female POW, I won’t even go there.”

Think Belarus in WW2. Or...Berlin at the very end.

The worst atrocities committed in that war occurred on the Russian front and in Germany at the end of that war.

Appreciate everything you wrote, and agree with the lady who typed your resume.

Much respect.

Orange police guns denote non-lethal guns like bean bags. They aren’t firearms. They are for less than lethal uses. They have a roll in policing.

I was just reading about some of that the other day when I was looking at a link that McGee sent. It’s horrific. Actually, they don’t make words to describe how bad it was.

Same thing in Bosnia, the things I saw there that happened to women and little children sickens me to this day and will never leave my head. Thank the good Lord that I believe in him and he gives me peace, I don’t know how a non believer would do it.

Thank you MonicaG.

I believe that if we as men, if we can’t protect our society’s women, then we have no business being a country. Women are to be cherished, protected, and watched over at all times. I don’t say this to say they are weak and inferior, it’s quite the opposite. It’s part of a man’s genetic makeup to do that, and there’s a reason for it.

I know modern society wants to break that down. If you look at any TV shows or movies these days, you’ll often see men portrayed as weak and simple while the heroine is doing all the heavy lifting. They are trying to break down the fabric of our society in many ways, and entertainment is just another facet of that.

The Bible says something about it too, in regards to spouses. Jesus said for wives to obey your husbands. All the men laugh and say obey me! It’s a joke of course, but the next part is even more telling. Jesus then says for men to love their wives as Christ himself loved the church. Jesus died for us, he laid down his life willingly for us. If he did that for the church, what are we as men supposed to do?

To me He is saying that we need to protect our women at all costs.

Sorry for the morning rant, busy day rolling up and just having a morning coffee first, I’m multi-tasking which is apparently an impossible thing for a man, I should be streaming this as proof.

Go and watch the show “Come and See” it is on youtube right now. I am kinda shocked they did not put restrictions on that show.

BTW, when shown in Europe, former German military who fought on that front got up after the show was over and said to the viewers that everything shown in that movie was factual.

The German SS outfit in that show was an SS outfit that consisted of violent convicts recruited out of Prison. Every known violent typed of criminal was in that SS unit.

These were the primary guilty culprits.

Any of them alive today, if any, should be taken out and shot.
