It isn’t sustained combat, it is police work, and when it comes to grappling with offenders during an arrest and running them down and then overwhelming them, and just the natural male aggression when confronting a fellow male who is a bad guy, the decades experienced male cops versus replacing them with females should be discussed, replacing the males with females has not worked out and it always leads to a weakening and softening of the institution that they start taking over.
Right on with the female replacements of veteran cops. That doesn’t have to be the norm, though, and maybe the anti-DEI momentum will correct that. I’ve also noticed a disturbing trend among female police chiefs/sheriffs that makes me wonder where they came from and who persuaded them that clownish actions and corruption are the wave of the enforcement future.
