A thug is a thug, male or female. It's been that way for years.steve817 wrote:Oldgringo wrote:speedsix wrote:...I'm sorry for him dying...but the saber rattling isn't wise and doesn't work against those whose thought processes are muddled and/or can't read the signs...a blinding flash of gunfire is all they'll understand...all signs like that do is give juries too much to consider...A woman robber, eh? You don't hear much about woman robbers except in the movies and TV stuff.
I learned the other day at the Arlington Citizens Police Academy that it is actually a rising trend. In fact at one time the cell block that they had assigned to women only had six beds, now it has 20.
We had some really bad female's back 30 years ago when I was a LEO that would just as soon fight you as look at you. And they would fight dirty. They were usually either druggies, alcoholics or both.
One female I had to fight one night to get her into the car even after she was handcuffed. Then she fought a female officer in the squad room when she went to search her. Finally I ended up having to spray her with CS (precursor to OC/pepper spray) to get her back in the car to take her to lock-up. Her arms were covered in scars from knife and bottle fights. Funny thing was, she was not the meanest and most ruthless woman in town. There were a couple of females who were druggies and were just downright evil. They would steal, rob, sell themselves for drugs, etc, didn't matter what.
