Video: Lady cop accidentally executes bystander running away from a mass shooter…[Montreal]

Men and women aren’t the same. We’re also not “equal.” There are things men are better at and things women are better at. One of those things is police work.

Does that mean there are no good female cops? Of course not. But it does mean there’s a dangerous pattern that’s been forming for a long time, where female officers are being overwhelmed by perps, running from crime scenes, and even killing innocent people in Keystone Cops-style situations.

But none of this is the least bit funny It’s actually alarming. And it’s time to ask the million-dollar question: Should we end the “lady cop” experiment?

This latest nightmare scenario comes out of Montreal, Quebec. It involves a female cop who appears to have accidentally shot and killed an innocent bystander who was running for his life to escape a mass shooter.

That’s the horrific hook of this grisly story, but there’s much more to uncover, especially the long-running debate over whether women are fit to serve as police officers.

The shooter was filmed running to the female cop’s position as she took cover elsewhere. Other officers in the area pinned him down and he was shot just a few moments later. You can watch more footage here and here, but viewer discretion is advised.

Police handcuffed the shooter’s body for good measure, as seen in another video from an apartment above the scene (I won’t show the video as it shows the dead officer’s face).

When some madman is mass shooting at innocent people, there’s no time for a sensitivity seminar, diversity panel, or a long conversation about feminism. In that moment, it’s all about chaos, fear, split-second decisions, and knowing that the cop on the scene will do their job and give everybody, except the bad guy, a fighting chance.

That’s why police departments have a responsibility to the public and their officers to be brutally honest about what this work requires and who is ready and equipped for the job. You need incredible physical strength, tactical calm, very quick judgment, intense courage under fire, and the ability to move toward danger when every instinct in your body is telling you to run like hell.

Now, those aren’t qualities that only belong to men. Yes, in some rare circumstances there are women who can meet that standard and men who can’t. But overall, that job description is suited for a male. And pretending gender differences aren’t real, or acting like every role must be “equally suited” to fit everybody, doesn’t make the public safer. It creates danger.

And placing women in these types of positions that they’re clearly not suited for is setting them up for failure and leaving the public in a vulnerable state.

And that brings us back to the horrifying mass shooting in Montreal, because it’s reignited this debate about “lady cops” after footage from the scene appears to show the female officer making a slew of catastrophic decisions while her partner and civilians were in immediate danger.

Her partner is hit, an innocent civilian is killed, and the shooter is still active. Instead of the scene becoming more controlled, it becomes more chaotic, thanks to the bumbling lady police officer.

There was a mass shooting in Canada and a female cop at the scene did the following;

>Ventilated a random terrified civilian who was running away from the shooter, also didn’t check on him

As you can imagine, the public is horrified at what they’re seeing in the clip.

Despite what the video shows, it hasn’t been officially confirmed that the female officer killed the innocent civilian, but it does open up a wound that we’ve been talking about for a long time now: do women belong working as police officers?

Women are fierce, protective, and will fight like hell for the people they love. But frontline police work, especially the kind that puts a cop in the middle of an active shooting, is a totally different beast. It takes a very specific kind of physical and emotional response to danger. Departments can’t just pretend those requirements disappear because they want to prove a point about feminism and “equality.”

Women deserve to be respected for who they are, not shoved into roles that don’t fit them. Because when the job is life or death, the only thing that matters is if the person wearing the badge can protect the people around them.

>Didn’t even check on her partner after he went down right next to her

In all fairness, how is she to check on her partner when she is in the middle of a gun battle, in close quarters, trying to stay alive herself?

I’m am the first to say women do not belong on the street in the patrol division, I know first hand. They are more suited as matrons handling female prisoners, juveniles, and unarmed meter maids, writing parking tickets. They have ruined law enforcement, along with racial quotas.
