"The woman often participated, but decided she objected to the behavior, Balagia said. "
Nuff said. Perhaps they shouldn't have done this, but making a federal case of this kind of stuff has gone too far, and personally, I don't think women should be police officers anyway.
Its ridiculous to see these little girls parading around in a ton of guns, walkie-talkies, etc and trying to look tough.
I don't care if she does have a black belt. A police officer needs to exude an intimidating presence and such a presence very often is more than enough to prevent an evil-doer from acting out.
Female police officers should be restricted to certain limited duties like directing traffic, family disputes and other similar activities.
Whoo boy, I hope you're wearing your flame retardant jammies.
