FWIW, I don’t want to see a small cop, regardless of the officer’s sex. :-)
If Liege is lowering its recruiting and service standards to allow females, or more females to serve, that adversely affects everyone involved, including the public.
I’m not fond of the small cop physique, but we don’t get as wide a range of choices as we might wish. I want good cops. Bigger is better, but character matters more. A small woman may have to shoot when a larger man would overpower a thug. I’m okay with that, especially if the small woman can shoot and she respects the rule of law - including, in this country, our Second Amendment. The real problem arises when you have a petite meter maid doing a cop’s job, if she has neither the size nor the temperament to control thugs with either muscle or firepower, that is a recipe for trouble.
