Should women be police officers? That is the question. Police officers can be replaced with anything in that same career path, such as guards at prisons, basically anyone in the law enforcement career.
I chose this because, a lot of women can be overpowered by men. I'm not trying to say women are lower then men or anything, but from the physical strenghth aspect men usually are stronger then women. I know that they hav to go through a physical test but still, how hard really is that test? Hard enough to check and see if they could take down the averaged strenghth man? I was watching one of those cop shows on tv the other night, and it showed a woman police officer being overpowered by a male, he took her gun and shot twice, inches from her head, seconds later the guy was tackled by a male citizen and both the women and citizen put him in cuffs.
Like i said im not trying to say women are weak or be an asshole, cause i know there are alot of women that could own my ass if i tried to fight them, but what are ur thoughts on this? ( equinox and kill lil thingy's are goin to kill me now ahhh):D
Are you stealing my threads here? Take it easy if I'm not shooting them out at a rapid rate of fire here. I always want to make sure that the previous one is done before starting a new one.
Which seems to be the case now, so I'l come out with a new one very soon.

women are not very good police because one time i seen a guy running from the police and a women police cut off the guy, but instead of stopping the guy just ran straight through her and kept on running

dude i wasnt trying to "steal" ur thread, i just thought this was a decent topic so i asked, sry if i offended u, i asked elfen if u liked ownd these threads, and he said no so i went ahead and made my own on this type of thread. Next time sum1 has this type of thing goin on ill ask them instead, sry, i really thought this would b ok though.

lol somebody tried to steal your threads
well i hav to agree with u there on they shouldnt be police officers,
but what the hell, i try to make a contribution to the site by making a topic i
thought was good. first guy says its the stupidist topic ever, then i get
jumped for "stealing" sum1's thread. dude i seriously didnt know ppl ownd
threads sry, ill make my own very unique threads from now on.
well i still feel women shouldn't be police officers but since there are i think they should hav to at least b with 1 other police officer at all times when patroling. because one on one usually a male will take down a female, if she doesnt get her gun drawn in time, she is screwed. At least a male, which is usually stronger then a female, can at least stand his own ground one on one. and im sure if u thought about it darkjay, u would want men to save u rather then women, unless they were really hot, then i'd give them a chance lol, but seriously.
ok but since u dont know if ur going to b saved or not, if u were really in that situation, would u want guys or women to come rescue u. remember, u are captured and hav been taken hostage. and u dont know if u will come out ok.
ok basically my point is, when becomeing a police officer you need to hav sum physical strength. I just dont think most women hav that strength in alot of situations. seriously 1 on 1 a man vs a woman the man will probably win, or that is one tough women, which there are alot of tough women but generally men are stronger.
o sry for overreacting a lil in the earlier posts lol, i just got a lil mad and took sum stuff the wronga way.
I think when arguing whether women should be police officers, it's not a very good argument to focus on their physical strength. Nor is it any less asinine to mention on and off isolated incidents where a women cop was knocked down or overpowered by a guy. Cause just as Doppleganger pointed out, in that incident a male cop could've just as easily been knocked down.
Despite how easy or difficult the exams may be to become a cop, I think we're moving beyond the method of using affirmative action in regards to gender. It's not like police departments have female quotas they have to fill for the sake of gender equality. Nor are the standards of testing lowered for women. So the good news is, if women come off as inept, there's a good chance that the ones who graduated from the same academy, are equally so; male or female.
Furthermore, if a suspect is high on methanphetamines, or something akin to, physical strength is not going to bring that person down. There are methods of using the baton or mace to subdue those people. And the baton does not really require exceptional strength to use, it requires training and technique. And those are things I believe any women can acquire as much as men.
And as far as getting a rough time for starting a "philosophy" question thread, it's all good. These threads aren't exactly someone's intellectual property. And PhrozenDragon happens to be a very sensible guy and I don't think he really was that mad or anything.
By the way, while Phrozen does not own the idea of a philosophy discussion thread, I believe that the exact name, such as "Philosophy Question of the Day", relates to threads made specifically by Phrozen in his specific manner, and that is what I expect to see when I see a "Philosophy Question of the Day" thread. The question discussed here is much simplier than most questions Phrozen set forth because it is made by a different author.
It seems you'd have to be pretty insecure with your masculinity to take issue with being saved by a woman. I mean, the lot of us are computer gamers. I'm willing to bet we're not all as manly as our avatars portray us to be.
I wouldn't have a problem being saved by a woman, defended in court by a woman lawyer, or even be rightfully deliberated by a woman justice of the Supreme Court. The best way to take it as a man is to exclaim, "Right on, sista!"
