@@tomservo5007 In real life there are political appointments as well. It's not always rank and file. The mayor for instance can install whomever they wish to be police chief. Which could be somebody with ZERO qualifications but will do whatever the mayor tells them. This happened in my city, a lot of the police force's higher ups became political appointees rather than promotions for veterans of the job. The New Jersey State Troopers is a good example of lowering the standards so people who would otherwise be unqualified could make it. They said in a given year they may have as many as 2,000 to 3,000 applicants and out of those maybe 2% would pass. Until one day a woman who applied and failed complained to the governor there that the test was sexist and designed to fail women. The NJ State Troopers replied that their standards apply to ALL applicants male and female. The woman claimed no woman could complete their standards thus is was sexist. NJ governor signed an executive order forcing them to lower their standards, the woman passed and became a State Trooper despite not previously being qualified. So no... politics sometimes DOES play a role in law enforcement far more than you think. But yes, action packed crime fighting is often times just in the movies. There have been some notable shoot outs involving officers over the years but they don't come along too often.

I saw a video just the other day where 4 cops in New York City were on the scene of a purse snatching that actually happened on a train, and suddenly a woman yells "that's him" and the purse snatcher came running off the train and through the station. It was a black man of moderate size and he ran right by 2 black female NYPD officers who both stood there with shocked looks on their faces and watched the guy run right by. They didn't make any attempt to tackle the suspect or give chase, or do anything to subdue him. But then a young male officer took off running after the man and apparently, after chasing the man through the station, up to the street, and down a few blocks he finally caught the guy and arrested him. At the scene of the arrest, the female officers were nowhere in sight.

[@nicksalta]

ive heard stories of female officers locking themselves in divisional vans and even locking themselves in station cells to escape an aggressor all the while watching their male colleagues struggle to subdue the suspects... these are not by any means isolated incidents i know personally an officer who complained he didnt feel safe with his female partner as every time he has to make an arrest she literally runs away! guess what they did about the complaint? they moved HIM to another station, without overtime!

@@michalismarolachakis9596 There is a reason why the military lowered the minimum requirements for women in the military, because even if we gave them a chance, they couldn't keep up with the standards the military has for men. It is a delusion of reality to believe that Women and Men are physically equal. It is for the same reasons that Women and Men in Sport are separated. (With the exception of those who switch genders, but biological women are starting to wake up and realize that Biological Men have now taken over their sport, because they win in everything) I'm not saying that women don't have a place in the police, but not in the streets, not in physically active duty where they have to deal with potentially dangerous situations with criminals. This is a movie, yes and she did well because the narration is politically motivated. People are misled by movies and to a greater extent than the viewers' egos are willing to admit. In Sweden, 5 Female officers failed to take down an aggressive unarmed migrant, he threw them around like they were dolls. The danger is also that all women must now have a male assistant, and all police on duty usually have an assistant, because they have to watch each other's backs. If a situation arises where the woman is unable to do her part, the man will not be able to do it either because he is now understaffed in relation to the situation. Where women are best served is during interrogations at Police Stations and other such work.

THEN she'd make a proper inspector. At the moment, she has done nothing to prove her actual field worth, no experience. But she's proved her merit by knowing HOW to do field work.

[@mnpd3]

I can't condemn Harry here. I'm retired from 32-years with a Metropolitan Police. Female officers are just as smart, trainable and brave as their male counterparts, and approach the job with the same positive frame of mind. But, there are two critical areas they are seriously lacking. The first is physical confrontations. I have never seen a female officer able to overcome and control a fighting male suspect ... not nearly, and not even once. Further, it is impossible to train a 5' female to kick a 6' man's ass. You can train her in every fighting art possible for as long as you wish, while training the man to eat marsh mellows on the couch, and the man will win the confrontation in seconds --- it's a factual reality; not the myth promoted by TV and movies where she roundhouse kicks the neighborhood clean of evil. Not only does she risk herself in bad fights, but the well-being of her partner. The second liability is that she can't take punches. Knock a male cop on his ass and he'll dust himself off and stand back up. Punch her in the face and she'll need her jaw wired, teeth fixed, and orbital socket bones surgically reset. The trend has been moving to the military too, and I suspect the Army and Marines will handle it the same as law enforcement ---- the men will carry the dead weight at their own risk (I'm also a former regular army officer). Females are NOT dead weight by nature; ONLY in those situations where they are not biologically gifted with size, upper body strength and durability. (As a police officer I've often had to do double duty carrying gurneys with patients because the paramedic girls can't lift the weight, but that's another story). Further most girls --- Tomboys an exception --- don't grow up in a rough and tumble environment. The first serious fight they experience is in uniform and it's an ugly and traumatic experience. And unfortunately, some females actually expect the system, their co-workers and even the criminals to treat them with deference!!! I love women; my mother and my wife are both women! But a woman joining a major police force is like me joining when all the people I meet are over 7-feet tall and weigh 400 pounds. Finally, even if they didn't know their physical limitations before they joined, they learn that very quickly. And, they compensate by using deadly force with regularity because they have no other alternative. Where a male cop will attempt to overcome a resisting/fighting suspect using only his body; female officers without male backup are more likely to drop back and double-tap the suspect center-mass. Women are a minority on police departments; their numbers just enough to satisfy the feminists and know-nothing social "reformers." But, if the police departments makeup reflected the actual female percentage in the general population, then three of four deadly force incidents would be by female officers. In fact, relative capability to defend/assault between defender/attacker respectively is a key element in considering whether deadly force was legal. In that sense, a female officer is the most dangerous uniformed person carrying a firearm if your thing is to resist lawful arrest. She can shoot your ass under situations a male officer could not, AND get away with. The bottom line is this; how much PC is gained by placing men in traditional male roles? How is the public and the department better served? And even if the answers are all good, is it worth the injuries and even lost lives that have resulted? And no, I am not trying to force women off police departments. The program is almost 40-years old and it isn't going anywhere soon. For any officer of any gender, these problems exist in the here and not of reality; not philosophical issues to be discussed over an extra Starbucks at lunch. I've had to call for backup myself, and I wanted 6'4" Officer WIlly Whupass to show up, not 5'2" Sissy Lightweight. Finally, I cannot argue with anyone who thinks women should be in combat/law enforcement out of a sense of fairness. Because if that is the only consideration, then they are 100% right. But, their concern stops with the hiring process and never considers what happens afterward. Second, anyone who disagrees with the facts I just wrote is a know-nothing fool of the first water.

[@izdatsumcp]

Actually, they're not right when it comes to fairness. It's not fair, for example, that someone who got terrible grades was admitted to a medical school over someone who got brilliant grades. Likewise, it's not fair that the person who can do the job better (a man) is being passed over for someone who does it worse (a woman).

[@sevenproxies4255]

mnpd3: I wouldn't compare law enforcement to the military though. Soldiers are trained to kill the enemy. Something that is very easy to do, even for an untrained and unskilled soldier with modern firearms. The goal of all military grade firearms is durability, precision and ease of use, so that you can pretty much put it in the hands of any untrained peasant (man, woman or even a child) and scramble a reasonably effective militia out of a bunch of them in a hurry. While women are unlikely to be fit for special forces, their general physical shortcomings won't be that much or a drawback for regular infantry work. Law enforcement is different. Shooting to kill is not the priority but the last resort. Police officers are more expected to take down and restrain suspects to have them stand trial. It requires a lot more physical ability of a person to do this, than it requires to point an assault rifle at the enemy and pull the trigger. There are also plenty of stellar examples where women who have served have been a huge asset to the war effort. Lyudmilla Pavilchenko for instance is one of the worlds top snipers on record who fought for the Soviets during WWII (she's up there with Simo Häyyhä, Vasilj Zaitsyev in the top ten list of most confirmed battlefield kills). This is of course no reason to lower the standards in the military during peacetime (an extremely negative development). During peacetime, when defense budgets are at their lowest, you should of course only accept the most well suited applicants. I'm just saying that you shouldn't just discount women on principle. Let all those who want to try, try it. And wash out those who do not make the cut.

[@Mayhzon]

I think you are underestimating the amount of physical and mental labour a soldier has to put into his work in order to achieve results. For one, the equipment soldiers carry is very heavy. A good number of classes cannot be registered for if you have as little as a lightly hunched back due to the weight you will be carrying. Additionally, a soldier has to be strong enough to lift and carry other soldiers. A woman will have a lot more issues carrying a male soldier than a man would. Women can be part of police and military force, but you cannot put them into frontline infantry positions or other positions requiring physical labour. Don't expect your assault team's average performance to stay on the same level it was before women joined. It will drop harshly, guaranteed.

[@dylanwight5764]

We can overcome the psycological aspect with the right approach to this bloody social stigma that women "should stay at home", but the physiological aspect is down to the individual's build (men included). There is a place on the front lines for both men and women, but men simply have the physical advantage more often than not. If a female meets the physical standards normally set for male applicants, and she's proven just as mentally and emotionally resilient as her male counterpart, then by all means, let her join the force. There's no good reason to stop her from doing so.

[@ancaro8771]

The problem is the progressive types that demand that things need to be in place because of quotas or a person sex or race. It used to be that people got promotions based on their experience in the business and learning all they can so that they are ready for this new job. Now, this movie does show that she is very intelligent and later on proves that she has what it takes to be an inspector. Now, replace her with someone who thinks they are ready for this job and has the same experience as her, but doesn't have the spirit that she has for this line of work.

the customs are just not the same as they were back then either. There really isnt much appeal to make "movies like this" because they would sound backwards and retarded in today's customs. Still a powerful clip and moment though, reminds people to put common sense and safety before politics.

Feminism was the first successful application of Marxist thought in the west. Rich vs poor did not work, but women were easily swayed. It's almost biblical.

The 70s was the beginning of the Marxist, feminist, globalist movement. Quota hiring is but one of many aspects of the movement. Most are blind to it. You are not.

Callahan was actually impressed by her potential though concerned by her lack of experience. He understood he had no choice in the matter, so he would make the best of a poor situation. As it happened, Moore was quite capable; what got her killed was poor policy as much as inexperience.

[@JohnFreedman0]

@Sir Alfred Lawrence They can they just don't deserve a free pass. Canada will take women into our combat arms "frontline soldiers", but there are very few. For example in an entire battalion of 5 companies at 1 RCR we had about 10 women, 6 of which were office staff. Of those 4 none of them were bad, and one was even the first female commanding officer of a company. I can say it is probably pretty damn rare to look outside, and see a Major pumping off at least 15 chin ups in the desert heat, but she did. That also being said I can say during training almost every woman that came in sucked, but again there were 3 that stick out in my mind as good, and 1 as very good. If we got captured though they do have a 100% chance of being raped senseless. Ultimately I say if they wanna do it let them, but hold them at the same standards of men. Our army holds them at a much lower standard to be in it, but the officers in charge don't let crappy soldiers deploy in dangerous areas.

I've been a cop for 3 years and I can tell you, I openly and honestly prefer not to work with most women on my shift. There are 5 females on my shift. 3 of them are rude and obnoxious to the male officers and the public, and the other two who are genuinely ncie and pleasent, can't even subdue a 12 year old. Just yesterday I was forced to partner up with a female who is very often in a bad mood and is very unprofessional towards everyone because she can't check her emotiosn at the door. We go to a call regarding a teen off his head on drugs, and when we get him, even though he was distrubing the peace and calling me names (because of course, I, the MALE have to to put and keep hands on him the entire time) she says and does nothing, not caring one bit. She decides herself, without consulting me, that we 're not arresing him and will just drop him off at his mum's house. He's giving me abuse most of the way over and she doesn't give a shit, but as soon as he makes a cheecky comment at her, that's it, he's now under arrest, even though his comment was not profane in any way, ie she arrested him not for the laws he had broken, but because he had annoyed her... When she realises however that we notified out control room that we had picked him up 15 minutes ago to simply transport home and the time of arrest was now a lot later, she knew she would have to justify her action to arrest him in court at that point, rather than when we first found him. Being a coward, she again, for the 3rd fucking time, unilaterally decides that it's now MY arrest, and my paperwork to deal with... I told her flat out, I'm writing in the case that he had broken the law at the time he did and she decided to place him under arrest 15 minutes later and she can explain it in court. I'm not her fucking grease monkey, if she wants to fucking jail people for bullshit, she can tell the court heself, I'm not lying for her.

Young viewers born in this century might think the Dirty Harry character was being prophetic when this scene was filmed sometime in the 1970s. But when I was in college 50+ years ago studying Spanish, Latino, and French literature I could have predicted "diversity equity and inclusion" politics (which is anything but inclusive) taking over all large cities in the foreseeable future, just based on the flagrant and open political biases of my college Professors. What I did not anticipate as a young college student was that this "DEI" politics would take over not just all cities and most of academia but nearly all the board rooms of corporate giants worldwide.
