The real dope on women in police departments is this.  In the ancient past where wisdom prevailed, police were chosen for strength, height, etc. so that they could physically restrain unruly citizens.  Bouncers are still frequently chosen with strength and physical prowess in mind.  But PC notions overcame common sense and policing began to accommodate females, more specifically those of limited strength.  Thus police officers could no longer be expected to physically restrain or control the unruly.  Instead, the great equalizer, the gun, was called upon to play a more central role in police tactics.  Since officers must be safe and in the new age where strength was not selected for and thus physical dominance could not be assured, it became necessary to draw lethal weapons at the first sign of non-compliance.  As a result, citizens are killed since drawn and aimed guns tend to go off and tend to send perps into mindless panic.
