...from her by a bad guy, I believe that all the officer had to do was pull the trigger as he tugged it into his abdomen. Instead, in my opinion, her evident inability to realize that pulling the trigger likely would have ended the problem, or at least given her the upper hand, was absolutely pathetic, as I think was her essentially wailing and then having to beg the guy not to shoot her. Luckily he did not shoot her (and that I think truly was a godsend). As it turned out, another officer shot him - problem solved.
I am not of the opinion that women do not belong in law enforcement. I am of the opinion though that if you carry a gun, you being female or male, you had best be able to use it to defend your own life, or the lives of other innocents. I think that holds especially true if you are a law enforcement officer in a potential life or death situation. She was very lucky this time, not all criminal scum would have let her go unscathed or even alive. She may not be so lucky the next time if she does not get that; hopefully she learns from her experience.
