There is an old saying in boxing: a good big man will beat a good small man every time. I weigh 205 when in good shape. I don't box with 150 pound men, even sparing. Considering that a 150 pound woman carries on average (if in excellent shape) 8% more fat than a similar weight man it really makes here about 135lb. fighter. At 205 I've seen plenty of guys who are 6'6 and 260 or 280 who I wouldn't spar with. (Boxing needs a new weight category IMHO)

I'm sure their are tough women cops out there, and I'm sure they are a whole lot smarter than most of the people they deal with, and hopefully they are better organized, and of course they do have the law on their side.

So, I'm not saying the size disadvantage rules them out from being a cop, but if it comes to a fight they are at a huge disadvantage. That's just a fact.

well boxing is boxing, but you take a cop, armed with a nightstick or an ASP or a 20oz SAP, and tell said cop that there are no rules and if you use said weapons and use them wisely, then It would be a even fight.
Cops around here have a Rep that you dont trifle with them.
Everytime I have delt with City police, I have found them friendly and professional. But after talking with a few of them, I know that they are not afraid to go to the Sticks if the situation warrents.
I am more afraid of the affrimative action hire that Barely read and write.
