Along the lines of your "sexist" comment, I've always been a


been a little uncomfortable with the idea of a female officer working alone for the sole reason that if there is a physical altercation, a female officer (on average) has fewer options other than deadly force in subduing a non cooperative suspect compared to a male officer.

But that concern seems to be a little misplaced with male police officers (often working WITH a partner) using deadly force against not particularly imposing suspects (a college student with a multi purpose tool and now a deaf man with a cane/stick/metal pipe).
