Who said I expected her to manhandle these pukes? That’s why she had the weapon! Why didn’t she use it?
contrary to modern pop culture. Theres more than just upper body strength which separates men and women. Men are shaped to be the warriors of society not just physically but also psychologically and instinctually through millions of years of evolution as they defended the tribe while women took care of the babies while protected. This can’t be reversed and women magically turned into just as capable warriors every bit as fit to go looking for trouble in the concrete jungle by simply giving them a gun.
She was probably afraid of prison time for using lethal force. In IL, it can happen. This state is notoriously unfriendly to police, and it’s worse the closer you get to Chicago and Springfield.
RIP.
Admittedly, I don’t think it’s always advisable for women to be out on patrol, and I speak as one. I can’t say what should have been done differently, because I don’t know how it played out second by second. I can’t imagine being in that position, and hope I never am.
