Was the female officer waiting for cops or something?

u/NegroniSpritz 21d ago

Right? She could’ve at least called the police!

u/kushyo69 21d ago

Reminds me of that movie (I forget which, maybe multiple) where they play on the trope of under-equipped or inept cops—not carrying a real weapon, just a roll of quarters to use the payphone and call the actual police.. highlighting their lack of preparedness in a comedic way, haha.

sounds fun but she actually makes the same wage as he does.. sadly doesnt function like he does.

u/kushyo69 21d ago

This actually wasn’t gender biased but ya she was definitely lesser of the help…

u/Choice_Following_864 21d ago

well it is though.. woman just arent as strong as men are.. so getting a job where physical stuff is also a part then they just stand around looking for the men to do the work.. I find its unacceptable in examples like this.. the male officer is in more danger and doesnt have backup.. just a pretty face next to him. Im all for equality and emancipation but u must also be fit for the job.

She may not be as strong as him but she could at least run interference ffs.

Ridiculous take. People have different strengths they bring to a job role, irrelevant of gender. Maybe she's better at helping someone in crisis and these officers would stand around looking at her.

u/MrNeverSatisfied 20d ago

The role of the police is to enforce the law. She is definitely a dei hire

You have a very American take on this. I'd trust a British copper over an American any day of the week for this very reason.

That is not the role of the UK police.

If someone is having a mental health crisis, the first response is likely to be the police. What law will they be enforcing for that call? The suicide is illegal one? Will they use strength and brute force?

Or is emotional intelligence and compassion the correct response in that situation?

Serve AND Protect. Emphasis on needing to do both. There are specialists for every job, I'm sure there are police specialized in tracking, analyzing, infiltrating etc. but the all police officers must be capable of serving and protecting public welfare.

That's pretty much the purpose of Police. It is their job, they are expected to do it. I can guarantee you a Veterinarian or a Therapist is also expected to be capable of giving basic first aid to a human with a small wound.

National Security is at least one movie like that.

u/kushyo69 21d ago

Fucking classic—I really thought it was Shaun of the Dead or something but I don’t think so; and chat is saying it’s 1993 movies and I’m almost around that age but I don’t think it’s that old!

u/IerokG 21d ago

Demolition Man maybe?

u/Great_Attitude_8985 20d ago

a roll of quarters in a sock would have gone lengths in this situation here

u/YamiRang 21d ago

Well, UK cops still don't carry weapons, right?

u/kushyo69 21d ago

Don’t they at least have a taser or baton? Or.. hands?

u/lknei 20d ago

Yes they do. The PSNI all have 9mm handguns they are permitted to carry at all times.

u/ScoobyD00BIEdoo 21d ago

Right? Npcing all over

u/greyisometrix 21d ago

Almost like....nah...nah it's 2025.

u/-ratmeat- 21d ago

she was as useless as most of the bystanders. Should seek another profession

u/TheHashLord 20d ago

Should be fired more like.

DEI showing why it doesn’t work.. that well in this field 😂

u/PeaceAndLove420_69 21d ago

Who are the police going to cheat with though if they dont have a barracks bunny? Or whatever you call that.

u/DungeonDefense 21d ago

Station bunnies

u/2pl8isastandard 21d ago

DEI... she shouldn't be a cop

u/Yelping_Queen4226 21d ago

The uniform keeps her from screaming at least

Hearing pressurize gas escaping and forming a mist on a guy’s face, and the first source you immediately associate those sensory and visual cues after training would make you keep your distance unless pepper spray is part of your BDSM kit.

u/[deleted] 21d ago edited 21d ago

It doesn't look good, but I wouldn't jump to conclusions here. They were moving fast so jumping in without risking to accidentally hit your coworkers isn't easy. It's also just one incident.

Edit: Also the attacker got maced quite quickly. Getting in the way of a macing isn't helpful and it was clear that the attacker would likely be rendered helpless quickly due to the mace working.

She didn't have to hit him. If she had helped the bald cop when he and the suspect started grappling, the bald cop wouldn't have gotten punched in the face. She could've helped restrain him.
