5'5" female Federal Marshal takes down 6'4" male who grabbed her ass while she was jogging.

21. No. She can't.

As the report detailed, first, he assaulted her; second, she identified herself as a federal marshall; third, she yelled for him to stop; fourth, he turned and charged at her; fifth she defended herself with appropriate force. If you took a self-defense course (highly recommended for everyone, male or female), you would be taught to respond to an attack with appropriate force to immobilize your attacker. You don't just slap him in the face, or just kick him in the shins, and then stop to see if that was enough. There are a series of defensive moves you make, depending on your situation, i.e, if you were grabbed from behind, or from the front, or if someone is charging at you. A knee or a kick to the groin, accompanied by slamming the heel of your hand into the base of the attackers' nose is the recommended defense in the situation this federal marshall was in when he charged her.

And given that the perp knowingly attacked an officer of the law, and then lied about his identity, I wouldn't have let him post bail at all.
