Yep, better to be anon on this kind of thing. Especially in todays society.

Read the article. The female cop had him pinned down.

Uh huh...

began biting, punching and kicking the officer and tried several times to pull the officer's gun from her holster, Sullivan said. By the time Lashinski came to her aid, the officer had bloody gashes on her arms

......was straddling the suspect, her arms locked on to his.

That's what the story says. It also says the perp lost a tooth, and his picture looks like he tried beating somebody's fist with his face.

Uh, huh, that’s why see needed to be rescued by the citizen.

Female cops on the streets are never a good thing when violence occurs. They just don’t have the strength, speed or physical capability of males. This is not debatable.

Chick cop should have asked the guy to beat the perp senseless with her night stick or flashlight. I miss hearing stories of broken wooden night sticks from my old cop relatives. The derlin sticks don’t break.

Hey put your broad brush away please and stop giving fellow Freepers a bad name.

...aggravated battery to a police officer, burglary, resisting arrest and attempting to disarm a police officer... obviously Zero will have both of them up to the White House for a beer.

Thanks ConservativeStatement.

Exactly. Any female cop that goes hand to hand with a male perp in a dark ally is a fool and the bureaucrats that allow her to be in that position are also fools.

10-15 minutes for back up to arrive. That seems strange.

I saw a you-tube video a couple of years ago of a cop being attacked in a parking lot of a walmart kind of store.

The perp was putting up a too good a struggle when a petite lady walked by. She was dressed for success. She removed her shoes and took one in each hand and she ran over to the fight. She put the perp’s head through a buzz saw of pointy heel assaults. She stunned him enough for the cop to get him laying face down on the parking lot to cuff him. The guy taking the video was not helping.

I am glad this man helped the cop and that the other cops did not taze, glock and/or beat the helper thinking he presented an insurgent danger to them. ;)
