It was already a decade ago when the Obama administration sued the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women equally. The police department argued that female applicants did not have to meet the same, already low, physical standards as men. This mindset, epitomized by the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) framework, has long permeated law enforcement and beyond. The results are now clear.
Many women in law enforcement fail miserably, putting other women at risk in the process.
This is reflected in the recent news about a female Secret Service (SS) agent who left her post without permission to breastfeed her baby at a Donald Trump campaign event in North Carolina on Wednesday (see tweet below). The woman, who works in the Atlanta field office, was not supposed to bring her child on a protective mission in the first place. But apparently the SS blunder in Butler, Pennsylvania that enabled the assassination attempt on Trump did not affect her.
Not a one-time event
“This isn't the first time a female Secret Service agent has had…so-called 'problems,'” commentator Andrea Widberg points out, referring to an incident in April in which SS agent Kamala Harris had a mental breakdown on the job. The woman, who called herself Michelle Herceg, attacked her supervisor after she began acting strangely, and also attacked colleagues who stepped in to subdue her.
Widberg added:
It somehow seems unsurprising that in 2016, Herceg sued the Dallas Police Department for sex discrimination, based on her claim that she was assaulted by a male superior. The suit was dismissed. She may have been assaulted, but she may have already been delusional and unstable at the time. The US Secret Service should have caught it.
In another case, a female SS agent was caught filming security cameras at a hair salon in Massachusetts: she and her fellow lawless police officers were breaking into the salon, intending to use it as a free restroom and social space (see Tweet below).
Then there was Butler's gaffe. As Widberg tells it, the woman
The failures were everywhere: the head of the Secret Service was a woman (Kimberly Cheatle), the lead agent at Butler Base was a woman who failed to adhere to basic security protocol and is currently under investigation for leaking classified information on social media, and of course there was the infamous video (tweet below) of a female agent appearing confused and incompetent in the moments following the shooting.
Police evasion
At this point it is interesting to note what SS spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said after the breastfeeding shaming. After claiming that dereliction of duty had no impact on the case and that the incident would be “investigated,” he went on to insist that “all employees of the United States Secret Service are held to the highest standards.” Indeed, the standards are clear.
Of course, all or almost all of the above incidents are failures worthy of dismissal. But will anyone be held accountable? Perhaps Guglielmi would have answered that question. After all, he also said, “This is a personnel matter, so I'm not in a position to comment further.” Translation:
Violators will likely get nothing more than a law enforcement version of a “time out.”
Moreover, any decisive action would go against the SS's goal of having 30 percent of new recruits female by 2030.
Oh, and part of the initiative also “includes making YouTube influencer Michelle Carr available to train with the agent,” reports CBS News. Now, if that doesn't inspire confidence, what does?
It's a small world after all
This affirmative action mentality isn't just an American phenomenon: consider, for example, the humiliation of Chile's all-female SWAT team earlier this year, a fiasco that took place at the UAE SWAT Challenge in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Then, three Swedish female police officers were unable to subdue one male criminal, who was able to push them away and leave the scene. The last two events are shown in a comedy video I made in February (below).
Second, late last year, four female Chicago police officers tried but failed to arrest a man for shoplifting (video below).
In another incident, seen below, a small, skinny male suspect fled from two female officers, who realized it was futile to even try to pursue him on foot.
But the most hilarious incident occurred in New York in 2010, when off-duty policewoman Felice Jones was getting her hair done when an armed criminal walked into the salon, pulled out a gun, and started firing at her, to which she responded.
She apparently accidentally fired the shot, which accidentally struck the man's gun hand and the door handle, “temporarily blocking his escape,” CBS reports. The result?
Jones has been promoted to detective!
Spin Cycle
In other words, the NYPD, clearly embarrassed by her failure, decided to start spinning like a monk who had just created a whirlwind.
Then-Police Commissioner Ray Kelly declared that the officer's “calmness in the face of fire was matched only by her skill at shooting.”
However, “police said it's unclear if Jones' shooting was intentional,” CBS added (let us know!). “The NYPD trains its officers to aim in the 'center' when using lethal force.”
CBS goes on to report that “New York City's then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg praised the officer for her 'incredible bravery,' and said that 'her story will be told at the police department for years to come.'” We bet they will.
It was not reported whether Kelly and Bloomberg made their comments with straight faces.
Only the mind can change reality
Returning to the SS, Widberg says that if Trump wins the election, he will have to thoroughly clean up the administration and get rid of the woke bureaucracy. But while this would help, unfortunately, it's not just a matter of clearing out the swamp.
First, the spiritual quagmire must be drained. A great change must take place in the governing philosophy of modern man, which affects his emotional foundations. We must recognize that:
The dogma of equality must be rejected altogether. Equality says nothing about quality. Diversity is not a strength. It is at best a neutral reality, at worst an obstacle to be overcome. Just as you don't make a cat pull a cart or a horse catch mice, women and men have different roles. So what would happen if we replaced men with women in law enforcement? “It would be like spending money to train a Chihuahua as a guard dog when a German Shepherd is readily available,” he wrote in February. “Sure you could, but why would you?”
Absolutely, and until such opinions become so widely accepted that they don't even need to be said, and we stop hearing responses like “That's sexist!”, nothing is really going to change.
