You nailed it. This never would have happened to begin with if they had a man in there who was his same height and weight or taller.
Stupid...stupid...stupid...political correctness.
You don't know that. Male officers are attacked and overpowered too, you know. I've seen it myself. One suspect can cause a huge struggle and injure even groups of officers all trying to restrain a suspect. I've seen that too.
I'm not being PC at all when I say the focus on the fact that the officer in this incident is female is pretty lame and ignores the glaring fact that this same thing happens to male officers.
My ex-boyfriend was a police officer, 6'3" and well over 200 pounds, and he got his head bashed into the pavement and knocked unconscious by a suspect. I also used to be a police officer, so I have certainly seen my fair share of fights involving officers of all sizes and shapes.

...or two or three men. I've seen many of these guys at my county courthouse. They are big, full of muscles and, some, mean-looking dudes. That's the kind of guys that are needed to watch over these gangsta thugs.
