I just find it so stupid that some people wish to make this fight about what people of different sizes did or did not do, or worse allude to the FALSE idea that women are somehow lesser despite the fact that in the OP, the woman officer responded more appropriately to her side of the encounter.
As it is, I am... Well, I didn't mature much in any direction but tall. I'm skinny as a twig, and a stiff breeze could knock me over. I've had beef with a woman or two who could probably break me in half.
I can say that how someone responds to a conflict is entirely their own choice.
Oftentimes the only thing that anyone needs to do is pull the fighting parties apart and keep them separated while giving them respect as people and talking to them as adults so as to find out what happened.
If this was the first response, if cops weren't covered with weapons that make others fear them and them some fearful of others turning their own weapons upon them... Maybe they could do this thing, then, of serving, protecting everyone.
I think I recall various studies about firefighting teams with women thinking around problems in better, more effective, more efficient ways overall, mostly because people
have to think smarter around problems when they have less brute force to apply, if they are to succeed.
Maybe someone who is less lazy than me can find such again.
It comes down to "the woman cop was more competent at the start of the encounter," or "racism in spades," or potentially
both.
It is a mystery.
