why did they have to point out that the cop was a woman?....if this was a man, it would not have been mentioned, and male cops are always shooting people around here....but they had to bring the gender thingy in....
“why did they have to point out that the cop was a woman?....”
Maybe because women should not be cops...nor Marines...
In this case should be charged with Murder...
Because female cops are killers, and please don't ask the media to keep censoring the news.
As Ann Coulter wrote. "It turns out that, far from "de-escalating force" through their superior listening skills, female law enforcement officers vastly are more likely to shoot civilians than their male counterparts. (Especially when perps won't reveal where they bought a particularly darling pair of shoes.)
Unable to use intermediate force, like a bop on the nose, female officers quickly go to fatal force. According to Lott's analysis, each 1 percent increase in the number of white female officers in a police force increases the number of shootings of civilians by 2.7 percent.
Adding males to a police force decreases the number of civilians accidentally shot by police. Adding black males decreases civilian shootings by police even more. By contrast, adding white female officers increases accidental shootings. (And for my Handgun Control Inc. readers: Private citizens are much less likely to accidentally shoot someone than are the police, presumably because they do not have to approach the suspect and make an arrest.)
In addition to accidentally shooting people, female law enforcement officers are also more likely to be assaulted than male officers – as the whole country saw in Atlanta last week. Lott says: "Increasing the number of female officers by 1 percentage point appears to increase the number of assaults on police by 15 percent to 19 percent."
In addition to the obvious explanations for why female cops are more likely to be assaulted and to accidentally shoot people – such as that our society encourages girls to play with dolls – there is also the fact that women are smaller and weaker than men.
In a study of public-safety officers – not even the general population – female officers were found to have 32 percent to 56 percent less upper body strength and 18 percent to 45 percent less lower body strength than male officers – although their outfits were 43 percent more coordinated. (Here's the cite! Frank J. Landy, "Alternatives to Chronological Age in Determining Standards of Suitability for Public Safety Jobs," Technical Report, Vol. 1, Jan. 31, 1992.)
i wil tell you why.
because when officers “feel threatened” - their phrasing - they pull weapons are fire.
that phrase is subjective and varies from officer to officer as to what makes them “feel threatened”.
imo far more regular situations, far more often, make female cops feel threatened, than male cops. if you are a average 35-40 year old 130 pound female a lot more situations and people are going to make you feel more threatened than a 35-40 year old 180 pound male, and on average generally taller, officer.
that is why. female cops go for their guns a lot more than male cops, for a lot less. and this case is yet another that confirms it.
