There's a reason why bouncers at clubs are huge men, and not short little women like me (though I am pretty buff, don't make me flex and show off my muscles). Was that same logic applied in this situation? I'm not so sure. If it wasn't, why not?

Come on, be P.C . Anyone out there can do any job out there, and physical limitations should not be taken into account. Would these people still be alive if he was being guarded by a man who was 6-8 and 345 lbs? That's not the issue here. The issue is that you can't discriminate against anyone, ever. We honestly can't say that a mentally challenged paraplegic albino dwarf-cop would have been any less effectictive in this situation.
