Well they don't compensate very well if she's not strong enough to keep them away from those in her custody, now do they? I thought one of the things taught in the police academy is how to subdue a suspect without the weapons. Is that not the case anymore? If so, why didn't this female officer succeed in subduing Nichols?

We honestly can't say that a mentally challenged paraplegic albino dwarf-cop would have been any less effectictive in this situation.

I know you're being sarcastic here, but sadly sometimes I think that's what this world is coming to.
I'm not so bold as to say that had a man been guarding this guy that no one would have died today. I just don't know that. I just have questions. Would Nichols thought twice if a 6'4" man weighing 220lbs was guarding him? Would a larger man been able to subdue him?
