Police brutality.. (USA)

Actually the best female cops I saw took off their uniforms err, that was at the local strip joint and what was that features name...?

I'm going to have to go with the "accidently fired her gun" side. Just pure negligence.

As for women being police officers, why not? You think size or strength makes a difference when it comes to taking down someone? You obviously haven't studied any martial arts...

Women can do anything a man can except for pee standing up. Actually now that I think of it....they can do that too with some practice.

Granted Martial arts are effective but even Bruce Lee argued that a person with good boxing skills and the ability to wrestle could defeat most martial artists.

So I am not sure that hollywoods depiction of small women kicking the ass of every tough guy is grounded in that much reality. It would be less realistic where the criminal has a weapon too.

To me it looked accidental, that close she could've easy shot him in the skull if she wished.

If she was attempting to kill him, he wouldn't be alive.

actually, i studied(a little) with a teacher who was one degree of seperation from bruce lee's school. his teacher was in bruce lee's class.
strength and mass count. sorry, but they do. fast and ruthless always wins, but a cop is always on the defence, and not allowed to use sucker attacks.

Billy,

yeah we should start a thread on Bruce Lee!

amazing guy, did you see that film documentary on his life? don't know the name of it.

smart guy too.

yeah Lee was special he went farther than anyone but in the end he was honest and said that martial arts had limits when it came to fighting. I think he said its greatest benefits were in the philosophy he gained.

What happend to the website for this ? did it go offline?

I am 100% with you on this..

Womans place isnt in the Police force or in the military..

Your assumption that female disclusion from combat arms being due to physical weakness is false.

I would fully support induction of a female into an operator slot on a special team. With training, size of an opponent can be overcome. It is a non-issue.

Primary reasons for the policy:

1. Health risk posed by lack of sanitary facilities during sustained operations (eg. defense). A special team that does not conduct sustained operations (SF, SFOD-D, SEAL4-5, DevGru) would not be compromised by a well trained female.

2. Effect on male psyche in event of brutal enemy interrogation tactics on female. It has been proven that protective instinct of a male will override the adherence to the Code of Conduct in this POW situation.

I kid you not,
