That's why we have pepper balls, pepper spray, bean bags, electronic control device, batons, and K-9's. The idea is to make an arrest without injury to the officer or suspect if possible. Physical altercations with suspects is discouraged by most departments.
When you utilize one of the above tools gender is not a factor.

My point exactly.
Women cannot use their own physical strength without relying on male backup, vicious animals (K-9) or weapons of some sort.

A strong male cop can simply restrain someone without weaponry (non-lethal or otherwise), dogs, etc.

A lady cannot handcuff a man who does not allow himself to be handcuffed. Period.
