I've long said it; female cops are a terrible idea. In the end they are forced to rely on other - male - police officers or have to use lethal force where one good knock on the noggin of the perp would finish the matter.

Two female cops can’t subdue male perp… ‘300-pound’ citizen steps in to finish the job…

We keep playing this little game of radical egalitarianism where we pretend there is no difference between people and that there should be no barriers to doing anything one wishes to do, even if that person is not suited to said occupation. Women are smaller, generally weaker and slower than men. In fact, Israel, which needs soldiers more than any other country, stopped using women in combat roles precisely because of this fact.

we see this in other areas of life as well. The most obvious has been this push towards "transgenderism" in which men get to compete against women in sports. There are so many others, like people without legs getting jobs that require a good bit of walking, or whatnot.

This is the Liberal idea of freedom, which means being free to do as you please no matter if reality is against you or not. It's the radical notion of freedom that says there should be no limitations on a person, not from society, not from onesself, and not even from God. It's a sort of insanity. And how does it express itself? A "free society" to a leftist is one where people can do any crazy thing and is only constrained by law, the guardrails on their crazy-train racetrack. People do not restrain themselves, do not actually control their own destiny by self-control, but rather society plays along with every giggling and drooling notion that pops into the heads of humankind and the only thing that stops total chaos is government control and power. Hence it is a totalitarian society whose aim is to let the insane wander around loose and forces the sane to act as though there is nothing called reality.

Conservatives, on the other hand, believe in a concrete reality, one established by God, the goal of which is to be in harmony with. How you do that is YOUR business but it requires YOU control yourself, accept what God has wrought, and work within that framework. Happiness, we believe, comes from being where you are supposed to be and doing what you are supposed to do. Anarchy is not freedom in our view.

So women cops, and women soldiers, are a rebellion against that fundamental principle. Oh, they are fine in support roles, but just because some women WANT to do those jobs doesn't mean they CAN do those jobs. Inevitably allowances have to be made.

I am mindful of Congresswoman Maize Hirono who recently said women in the military shouldn't have to do chinups. Why not? It's part of basic training and if they want to serve tehy shouldn't have such allowances made for them, any more than any other soldier. A man with bad vision shouldn't expect the rifle range to spot him points, should it? (I think it was Hirono who said it, but it could have been another Democrat, like Fauxcahontas. I couldn't find the quote with a web search despite it being quite recent.)

At any rate we have come to believe that what the individual wants the individual should get no matter how much it imposes on others. Rights impose no obligation on others except that the others not interfere with those rights for no good reason.

Women cops often have something to prove too and can be the most disagreeable passive-aggressive scolds you will ever meet. I once got pulled over for driving like two miles an hour over the speed limit in a rural part of Missouri and mainly she pulled me over for not wearing a seatbelt (which she couldn't do in Missouri; she had to have another violation, hence the speIeding accusation.) She was all over me about not wearing the belt. I did what I do whenever pulled over, spoke in matter of fact, terse statements; it's a big game, after all, and I see no reason for playing it. I finally had to tell her "either give me the ticket and let me be on my way or don't" and she finally stopped harangueing me. She wanted to show me how tough she was and was disappointed I wasn't fighting her.

That is often what you get from women cops; they want to prove they are as tough as any man. But a man wouldn't just act tought like that, by and large (yes, there are some very bad actors on police forces who do but that's another story.) When it was obvious I wasn't a trouble-maker the male cop would have just said "the law says you need to buckle up. please do so" and probably wouldn't even have given me a ticket (actually he wouldn't have pulled me over at all.) In Missouri the only reason we have a seat belt law is because the Federal government forced it on the state, which was one of the last to pass it, and they did so in a way that it is hardly ever enforced.

At any rate women cops are a bad idea. If you are going to be a cop you need to be able to physically restrain someone without killing them with your service weapon.
