We all give her credit for saddling up and getting in there. That takes courage. But you have to save some people from themselves. It's great that she's willing to sign up for that nonsense, but she's going to get herself and others killed because she is a woman and not physically capable of executing the necessary functions of her job. There has to be a more common sense role for women like her who are willing to stand up and put themselves on the line like that. We absolutely need more people, men and women both, who will do that. But in that particular role, she's useless. I don't care about her willingness to saddle up if it does absolutely nothing to resolve the conflict. No different than female firefighter. I don't care that she's willing to run into a burning building if she isntableto drag my unconscious body to safety. Completely useless at that point.

If she just maced them all this would’ve ended

“But she was trying and pretty damn brave.Gotta give her that.”

True but she had more guts than sense.
When I was on Shore Patrol in Rota Spain I got dispatched to a bar with a fight going on.
Got there,big crowd all whooping and hollering,I started wading through the crowd with my partner behind me (I thought).Turned out it was only 2 guys fighting,I tried separating them but my partner was nowhere to be found.
Guys in the crowd started pushing and shoving me,they didn’t want the fight
to stop.
I backed up against a wall with my nightstick in one hand and my handcuffs in the other hand for a weapon,keeping anyone from getting too close.(Mace hadn’t been invented then)
Some of the guys in the crowd were hollering and cussing me.I’m wondering where in the hell my partner went.

Few minutes the calvary arrived,about 8 other Shore Patrolmen.The crowd all took off.
Turned out my partner had left me,got back in the truck and called for help.
Fricker even locked the doors.
He was relieved of duty that night.

I have watched this painful video a few times.

The officer needs another line of work. Just not physically capable of doing police things, made bad tactical choices and did not correctly assess the situation.

Two guys (likely Home Depot employees with more sense than she displayed) tried to drag her out of the fight. These guys were the shining stars of this video. I thank them for their service! Good hearts, guts and good sense. Maybe one or both might apply for the next police academy.

The guy in the black bath robe and orange Crocs should be shot at dawn.
Oh, I mean sternly talked to and given career opportunities, of course...

Why the hell is that woman wading into a melee with a holstered sidearm?

My takeaway is that even an agitated crowd has a self-control line they're smart enough not to cross.

Yeah and that answer is what?

because what is this some crazy people what the frick does it matter if they are black or white,

Now, let's go there if you want what can we do about the problem of young white males that have a propensity to go into movie theaters, schools, churches and malls and mass murder people?

3 downvotes from three far-left keyboard warriors who wouldn’t have the nerve to say a word to my face in the Home Depot parking lot with my family standing there. Cowards.

I'll give her an A for effort

She’s a bigger liability “trying” to intervene than if she’d have just backed off. Completely unfit and useless in this situation.

Wonder if that Weber Kettle will be half price?

Can't even go to a goddam hardware store without the fatigue.

that cop should have got the frick out of the way

she’s the reason big baw got ganged piled on and lost the fight
