Indeed, he was a bad ass, and he could have kicked a male cop's ass
too.

Someone, I think the DA, gave a press conference wherein he was asked
why he put a 5-foot grandmother in charge of an uncuffed Nichols.  He
said something like, "Women can do whatever men can do."  I only wish
the dead female deputy was around to comment on that, but I think she
took a bullet to the face.

If I'm that DA, I'm putting two or three of the biggest cops I can find
on this suspect.  I'd let the PC girlstapo come after me on that one.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they did that, and worded it like
that.  It would be the height of irony, assigning a protective detail
to an on-duty cop, but I would not put it past them.  Either that, or
they would call it backup.

They could find out the number of female deputies around, then assign
that number plus two to dangerous prisoners.  Then it would be a set,
inclusive policy that would actually work.  It would deplete my
department of female deputies, but they're not good for much anyway.

Women can be effective at security, if there is not too much potential
for real trouble.  I remember once that I was about to get into a
fight, and a female guard stepped between me and my would-be opponent,
without looking at anyone, and saying nothing.  And since I wasn't
going to shove her out of the way, it worked.  But if I'd been Nichols,
I'd have brushed her aside like snow off the windsheild.
