Women shouldn't be in this position for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is their physical strength. PCism has struck again.
Linebackers should be big and burly, the fireman who carries me out of a burning building should be big and burly and Hooters waitresses should be.................
Puts a new spin on the old saying, Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? ("Who will guard the guards themselves?").
You're right. What woman in her right mind would want to be a prison guard?? Words fail me.
As a woman, I just don't get why a female would want to be a prison guard, except perhaps at a womens' prison. I can understand administrative and medical staff including women, but there is no reason to put a female guard in an environment where she must directly deal with hardened male criminals.
That said, I hope this can be resolved without injury to the guard taken hostage - and that the hostage taker be dealt with appropriately.
I dont know..My sister was a city of Pittsburgh Cop. She was about 5,5 and 150 lbs. She was a tough person who i wouldnt want to tangle with.
I knew a lot of guys who were weak and wimpy..depends on the person.
PS..My sister quit the force to start a family. She says she would rather deal with perps than five year olds. Go Figure
Alas, common sense and the good old days seem to be gone forever.
