Female cop out of control and power mad sprays innocents with pepper spray [View all] Ichingcarpenter Jan 2015 OP

Why the "female" headline? trumad Jan 2015 #1

My thought exactly. n/t TexasProgresive Jan 2015 #2

Well, she apparently is. And it's notable, because raging cops are almost exclusively male. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #23

not always, sometimes female officers feel they have to prove they are "tough" snooper2 Jan 2015 #37

That doesn't excuse horrible behavior. HappyMe Jan 2015 #38

Uh, yeah, didn't say it did snooper2 Jan 2015 #40

I didn't say that you were making excuses, HappyMe Jan 2015 #43

And that would be the "almost" portion of almost always... Thor_MN Jan 2015 #60

OP is expanding on a response to a thread about female officers possibly reducing niyad Jan 2015 #61

Quite effectively too, it would seem. n/t lumberjack_jeff Jan 2015 #87

right. because ONE instance negates everything that article said. as I said, the usual niyad Jan 2015 #88

An equally sexist argument could be made that lumberjack_jeff Jan 2015 #91

keep trying. niyad Jan 2015 #92

Thanks Niyad for the eye opening post trumad Jan 2015 #89

you are most welcome. yes, we understand the reasoning completely. niyad Jan 2015 #90

You didn't lie, and too bad this kind of behavior occurs across cop genders MrMickeysMom Jan 2015 #8

Whatever Ichingcarpenter Jan 2015 #24

How many times have you specified a male cop without direct relevance...? LanternWaste Jan 2015 #25

Why didn't you say "female WHITE cop" then? Demit Jan 2015 #26

Probably because the overwhelming majority of these horror stories have involved male cops FiveGoodMen Jan 2015 #68
