Today in Sydney's west, two police officers were attacked whilst attempting to apprehend a violent man who allegedy was on 'ice' that most harmful of substances. Whether or not the man was actually on the drug is in dispute depending on which news service one litens to.
Anyway, regardless, the officers tried to subdue the man who subsequently disarmed one of the officers of her baton, threw her to the ground and proceeded to try to beat the officer with her own weapon.
It's reported that he then attempted to grab the officers gun.
Luckily, a throng appeared and THEY were able to resstrain the man.
In contradiction to the initial claim, it was also claimed that the man, WASN'T in fact on ice but simply a schizophrenic.
However the whole affair raises a more urgent question. Not should women be in such forces (police in this case, armed forces full stop as as wider issue) but diminutive women - tiny five foot nothing bare slips of things who the average man could almost cartoon like, lift, invert and bang their head of the ground.
Police, on the treet at least, should be big, tough blokes; men who could strike fear into the normal man; men who, if called upon, could be jut as physical as any offender. And in the case of mentally disturbed people, 2 or 3 of the police of equal size would be needed.
This is not sexist or neanderthal. The bottom line is, small women simply do not have the strength to subdue anything but the most unagressive offender.
Yet in the name of sexual equality - which to men, women aren't, I'm sorry, the police FORCE now ressembles more of a society - a club with no restrictions to joining. No size limits. In the past these limits were 5' 5" for women and 5' 8" for men. But now Jimmy the dwarf can join up (and be beaten to a pulp by whomever).

And with a vengeance!
Now that's more like it :)
Let's see. Would I rather be cuffed by a tall, big, tough bloke or a tiny, wee woman...hmmm
Seriously though mate, I don't know how things are in Oz but in little, ole NZ, we are seriously short of policemen.
Maybe this is why the powers that be have changed the requirements - they will take anyone they can get.
P.S. it's good to see you writing up a storm again.
P.P.S.F.O.W.
Society has become so litigious, that governments are relying more on the threat of fierce prosecution for assaulting police, rather than the police actually defending themselves by themselves. Ergo, little tiny things are granted entry.
Except, nutters and pshycos don't recognise authority and have no fear of retribution months down the line and therefore we need big men, strong and brave men, to subdue these types.
Five foot nothing Minnie just doesn't do it.
