[Vision2020] Gender, Size, and Law Enforcement

[DonaldH675 at aol.com]

Visionaries:
A police officer that I know and greatly respect, (and have  seen on duty 
with unruly, large, belligerent suspects) is not much taller than I  am, (5'3") 
and weights considerably less. He is effective, but not because  he relies on 
brute strength.
It seems to me, as a lay person, that the underlying issue in  Atlanta 
relates to the escorting of unshackled prisoners by a single  person.  Guard gender 
is not the issue, security protocol may well  be.  Perhaps our friend Jennifer 
could comment on this for us.  
I appreciate the recent post on this matter which addressed the horrible  
consequences of this crime spree - which as he/she correctly pointed out, are  
more important to most of us than an opportunity to make snide remarks on  
affirmative action.

One cannot  level one's moral lance at every evil in the universe. There are 
just too many  of them. But you can do something, and the difference between 
doing something  and doing nothing is everything." Daniel Berrigan
