  • Why do they let women be cops again?

    God bless sexual equality and everything, but I have NEVER YET seen a female police officer on patrol do anything other than embarrass herself on camera whenever they show them on reality shows (Cops, etc)

    This latest one pulls over a pair in a car for suspected DUI. She can't do ANYTHING other than wait for backup and point her gun at the driver, saying "keep your hands where I can see them" in a faltering, uncertain tone, over and over again. If he'd gotten out of the car and tried to hit her, her best chances would have been to either shoot him or hope that the Cops cameraman intervened.

    12 other cops show up as backup to nab this pair that hasn't done anything more threatening than use some bad language. All because it's a woman making the stop instead of a man.



    There have been a number of studies which show that female police officers are far more likely to have their guns taken from them, be seriously injured in physical altercations, resort to lethal force etc. Anecdotally, from watching these shows, the female officers are more hesitant, refuse to participate in physical takedowns, call for backup much more quickly, etc.

    Male cops are generally bigger and stronger than the people they have to arrest. Female cops are basically outclassed by every suspect they come into contact with.

    It's ****ing retarded. They don't let women in the US armed forces go into frontline combat (?) so why the **** do they let women go on patrol on city streets, where physical strength is a much larger component of what they do?

    No comment on the rest, but I imagine 12 cops showed up because she had TV cameras with her. Plus, cops are adrenaline junkies, so if some **** is going down, whatever it is, they'll show up to get a piece of the action. It isn't unusual for an absurd number of cops to show up to things on a slow night.

      I think the answer is "because few people want to be cops". Especially after they see what it pays. That's why they let the womenfolk out of the kitchens.

        From watching this type of show, the scale of the response was MUCH different than equivalent reactions when male cops are involved.

        Most of the time, a single additional patrol car would have shown up.

        Look, I have no idea if it was a particularly slow night. I do know that 12 additional cops for something which looked like a routine DUI is by far the biggest overreaction I've ever seen.

          They often turn away people from the academies, dude. IIRC Oerdin failed a physical fitness test (obstacle course).

          Plus, you should know me well enough that I don't want to keep women in the home. But they shouldn't be doing jobs for which they are manifestly unqualified, like patrol officer.

            Either stop them from being cops or give them 'roids starting a year before they hit the streets.

            I shouldn't have confidence in my ability to kick a patrol officer's ass. That's asking for trouble.

              Isn't this what tazers are for? Taze everyone! All the time.

                I wouldn't be surprised if tazer use was higher among women officers. Have not yet seen that study, though.

                    a) Is reality necessary to make the role-play believable for you?
                    b) I'm not into that scenario, and I don't give a **** about what gets you off.

                          No, I'm just not into that particular scenario.

                              Women police are useful for dealing with women in situations where it might be inappropriate for men to be involved.

                              On a separate note, there is little point in canvassing Asher's opinion in any scenario involving women other than kitchen-type roles. The results are rather predictable.
