I feel bad for this woman. She has endured a year of living hell and no matter what verdict comes of this trial, her life is effectively ruined. You can see how despondent she is at her trial and you can see how she melted down after the incident back in April. This poor woman is going to be a wreck for the rest of her life.

Tragically, she never should have been in this position in the first place. She simply had no business being a police officer. She clearly did not have the temperament, the clear-thinking needed in a stressful situation nor the confidence in handling the lethal weaponry she was entrusted with.

What makes me angry about this whole thing is that she was likely a "quota" hire at this police department. In order to have a certain percentage of female officers, this department obviously took on women that had no business wearing the badge.

Now this is not an argument against having women as police officers. There are women who make extremely good police officers. This woman was obviously not one of them.

This is what happens when you lower your standards to hit a quota. Maybe in a typical 200-officer police department, you might get 5-10 excellent women on the force who are as good as the men. But when political correctness and woke nonsense forces a department to get to 15-20% women, well then the bar must be lowered and you end up with incidents such as this.

Kimberly Potter seems like a very nice woman who was put in a very bad situation in which she just was not prepared to handle. She had no business being in that situation or in that kind of a job. She should have been doing a job more suited to her skillset. Maybe an office job, a sales rep or just being a wife and mother.

If that sounds sexist, too bad. As a man, I know my own limitations. I wouldn't last two weeks on a deep sea fishing boat for example. Or two days at a high-rise construction site. There are women out there that could probably do both. So it's not a male or female thing.

This woman should never have been a cop. It's clear from the videos presented at trial that she was in way over her head and should have been doing something else for a living.

But quotas...and the silly notion put forth by the feminists that women can be "whoever they want to be" and that they should shoved into roles they are eminently unqualified for.
