It doesn't matter what type of defensive training you have received. Whenever a large person gets a free shot directly into the opponents face, the fight is usually pretty much over. Notice that the suspect also took the officer's firearm after the altercation. One mistake that many female officers make is that they assume that suspects will not harm them because of their gender. Sadly, nothing is further from the truth. The suspect himself tells her that he is sorry but that he is not going back to jail, I also wonder if the officer ever went back to "street" or was given an inside job somewhere. I have seen this in my own department; moreover, this problem is excentuated since departments have gotten away from the minimum height and weight requirements. Our department has had to fail frmale recruits from the firearms program and, when asked by members of the Command Staff what could be done to help the recruit, the firearms staff usually replies with something like "hire recruits strong enough to hold the firearm long enough to lesrn to shoot it."
