Want to reform the police? Hire more women
It was a moment that captured national attention and revealed an important lesson about police reform.
A Fort Lauderdale, Florida, policeman, facing off against a line of yelling demonstrators, sticks his finger in the face of a protester. He then turns toward a kneeling woman, her hands raised in protest. The officer suddenly lunges and shoves her.
Then, a female officer appears. She swats her male colleague back toward a line of patrol cars, waving her arm and appearing to upbraid him for what he did.
"Thank you!" a protester shouts at Officer Krystle Smith, who won praise for her actions on social media and from police leaders around the country.
Neither Smith nor Officer Steven Pohorence, who is suspended pending an outside investigation, were allowed to comment on the incident.

i have been a token in a couple of jobs back in the day of affirmative action. you need 20% before women are even safe in those jobs.
and when you hire them, they have no power.
