The veteran police officer knew she inevitably would be asked what it’s like to combat the culture as one of a growing number of women heading police departments, many struggling to repair their public image. […]

Female police officers tend to use wits over brawn to deescalate potentially violent situations, experts say, and as departments shift their focus to nonviolent techniques, it’s natural they would tap more women as leaders. …

Uh-huh, we've seen their methods. It boils down to "Surrender to the rioting thugs so they eat us last."

Wait a minute! I thought the two sexes were equal, that were no differences between the sexes.

Which is it? The left needs to get their story straight. So many lies to keep track of.

You’ve got BLM, Soros Mobs, or other Rioters on the streets beating up citizens, killing some of them, burning and looting businesses.

I know the first thing I’d want is a woman police chief planning to use wits over brawn.

LMAO ROTF

Police chiefs are mainly political appointments. Easy hires for conspicuous PC reasons.

I watch Cops and have noted the women cops cannot handle a male when he is not cooperating. It’s almost laughable! I see these women 5’2” and wonder how in the heck they made it through the rigorous training to become a police officer.

Well, I don't know. I have seen women in movies kick butt on men twice their size, so I know what you say is false.

(Right?)

Gee, this comes at a time that law and order is falling apart nation-wide. Rabble rules our city streets and destroys property at will, with impunity. Is it a mere unfortunate coincidence, or could there be a correlation?!?!?!?

No wonder everything has gone to hell in a handbasket. Spare us the malignant marxist/feminist sentimentality, please.

Unbelievable they are using Oakland as an example, after those 30 hippies died in her city in an illegal building occupation.

Hasn't this been debunked?

Don't the stats say that women are MORE likely to use their service firearm to de-escalate because they can't do it physically?
