Women are weak

Via Anonymous, we have a pretty good one. There's a video on youtube of some female cops having trouble subduing a guy. Now, I'm no expert on policing, but I get the impression this happens at times to most every cop. But Freepers, ever ignorant of how statistics work, and eager to confirm their biases through anecdote, discuss the inevitable physical inferiority of all women.

Sherman Logan quotes some stats from a forum post he once found:

One of the dirty little secrets about female cops is that, feeling quite reasonably that they’re unable to use intermediate force, they escalate more directly to deadly force.

Each 1% increase in female officers increases deadly force incidents by 2.7&.

QT3.14 stawmans it up:

Gee, I thought the Left told us their is no differences between male-female. /s

hopespringseternal knows females don't stand a chance.

There was a video out there a few years ago of a copchick who had pulled someone over for a traffic stop literally being beaten to death until a male motorist stopped and pulled the creep off her.

Not to say it couldn't happen to a male officer, but at least he would have a chance.

dragnet2 read about this one tragedy, and is sure manning up that cop woulda stopped it.

Anyone recall the Atlanta incident where they put a female grandma to guard some 2x violent loser who wound up breaking all the bones in her face, taking her weapon, shooting the judge, stenographer and several others in and outside the court?

Political correctness kills.

As with many female Freepers, POWERSBOOTHEFAN eagerly announces that she knows where women belong.

I bet this happens all the time. We ladies are just not built for this or for firefighting. We were not built for combat either.

BitWielder1 is pissed that women on TV are competent.

Why did they not use their special super fighting skills that the lady cops on TV always seems to have in abundance?

driftless2 watched a show once where women were good at violence, and pissed off his wife.

My wife is a fan of some English female cop show. All the men are either craven, cowardly criminals who are easily manhandled by the female cops or abusive, jerk boyfriend/husbands. The show (can't remember the name) is so obviously anti-male it's laughable. Yes, the creator/head writer is a female.

But what's more laughable were the scenes of the female officers beating the crap out of baddies. My wife got mad at me one episode when I laughed at one scene that showed one of the smallish female cops beating up a baddie who was noticeably larger than she was.

I think young females of today have no idea how much stronger the average male is than the average female. These modern cop shows are possibly getting many females in deep trouble.

Fear The People finds only one thing about action movies unrealistic:

Like that ridiculous film ("Salt", I think it was...) with a scrawny Angelina Jolie beating the everliving snot out of bad guy after burly, muscular bad guy whilst catapulting through the air like a crazed ninja.

Brooklyn Attitude sticks with documentary shows:

Many years ago I watched an episode of Cops that had 2 female cops trying to handcuff a scrawny 15 or 16 YO boy. Try as they might they couldnt do it. Then a male cop got went over and did it easily. Female cops simply cannot do the job and cost as much as real cops. What a waste of taxpayer funds.

knarf drew some interesting conclusions from the linked video:

You can tell the voices on the video have no daddy ... they have no idea how to laugh like a man.

RushIsMyTeddyBear is a badass, but can't stand up to super drugged up thugs.

I’ve taken karate through the years and have obtained a brown belt. That is meaningless to a guy twice my size (and I’m only 5’0”). I might could cause some damage and get away.....but hand-to-hand combat.....no way! I’m not naïve like these morons.

Not to mention if they are hyped on drugs which, in certain circumstances, increase their strength as they are oblivious to pain.

Uh oh...ChildOfThe60s's daughter is a cop...

My daughter told me that in an off duty confrontation she would prefer to have handcuffs rather than her gun. I asked how she would do with a 250 LB belligerent drunk. She said she would have him down and handcuffed in 30 seconds. She would have taken down this dipstick in the video in seconds. BTW, she is 5'9" and 140 pounds, not a big freak. And not a braggart. And the first to tell you that she is well aware of the differences between men and women. This pathetic video is a sad reminder of what the left has done and is doing to our republic.

driftless2 explains how Child is clearly wrong, because of yet another anecdote he once heard.

She would? Then the drunk would probably have to be real drunk and a real wuss. Some years ago a few male Minneapolis policemen were sent to the residence of ex-Viking, HOF football player Carl Eller to investigate a domestic disturbance. Eller was 70 years old at the time. Eller resisted arrest. The two policemen tried to take him forceably. The 6’6 250 lb Eller picked up both cops one in each hand, held them at arm’s length, and threw them around for a while. Finally Eller agreed to go peacefully. So forgive me if I have a little doubt about the capability of your 5’9, 140 lb daughter to easily get the cuffs on a male much, much larger and with a bad disposition.

ChildOfThe60s explains that his daughter is special.

No, I think the point is more that society has let itself be convinced by a bunch of male hating lefties that women are equal physical substitutes for men in all or even most situations. They are not. I wasn’t claiming they are, nor does my daughter.

My daughter happens to be at the opposite end of the bell curve from those two ninnies in the video. However, even if every woman that was hired as a cop measured up to her capabilities, I would never suggest that partners should both be women.
