It was 10 years ago already that the Obama administration sued the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women equally. Female applicants, they said, should not have to meet the same already dumbed-down physical standards the men do. This mentality, epitomized by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) schemes, has long reigned all across law enforcement — and beyond. The consequences are now apparent, too:
Many women in law enforcement are failing miserably and are imperiling others in the process.
This is reflected in the recent story about a female Secret Service (SS) agent who left her post without permission Wednesday, at a North Carolina Donald Trump campaign event, to nurse her baby (tweet below). The woman, who works out of the Atlanta Field Office, wasn’t supposed to bring a child to a protective assignment in the first place. Apparently, though, the SS failures in Butler, Pennsylvania, that enabled the Trump assassination attempt didn’t make an impression on her.
Not a One-off
“This isn’t the first time female Secret Service agents have been having…let’s call them ‘issues,’” either, notes commentator Andrea Widburg. She then mentions the April incident wherein a Kamala Harris SS agent had a mental breakdown on the job. The woman, identified as Michelle Herczeg, attacked a superior after acting erratically. She also assaulted the colleagues who intervened to subdue her.
Widburg then adds:
Somehow it seems unsurprising that, back in 2016, Herczeg sued the Dallas police force for alleged gender discrimination based on a claim that a male superior assaulted her. The suit was dismissed. Maybe she was assaulted, but maybe she was already delusional and unstable back then, something the US Secret Service should have caught.
There’s more, too, such as the female SS agent caught taping over security cameras at a Massachusetts hair salon. She and her fellow lawless law-enforcement officers were breaking in to the business, you see. They wanted to use it as a free restroom and socializing spot (tweet below).
Then there was the Butler fiasco. As Widburg informs, women’s
failures were all over the place. The head of the Secret Service was a woman (Kimberly Cheatle). The lead agent at the Butler site was a woman who failed to abide by basic security protocols. She’s now being investigated for leaking sensitive information on her social media. And of course, there was the infamous video of female agents immediately after the shooting appearing befuddled and incompetent [tweet below].
The Cops’ Cop-out
It’s interesting to note at this juncture something SS spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said following the breastfeeding embarrassment. After claiming that the shirking of duty didn’t impact upon the event and that the incident would be “examined,” he insisted that “[a]ll employees of the U.S. Secret Service are held to the highest standards.” Yes, the standards are apparent.
Of course, all or almost all the above incidents are termination-worthy failures. But will anyone be held accountable? Guglielmi perhaps answered this question. After all, he also stated, “Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further.” Translation:
The transgressor will likely get nothing more than the law-enforcement version of a “time out.”
Moreover, taking firm action would contravene the SS’s goal of having 30 percent of its recruits be female by 2030.
Oh, part of this effort, too, “has included allowing YouTube influencer Michelle Khare to train with agents,” relates CBS News. Well, if that doesn’t inspire confidence, what will?
It’s a Small World, After All
Don’t think this affirmative-action mentality is a solely American phenomenon, either. Just consider, for example, the all-female Chilean SWAT team that embarrassed itself earlier this year. The debacle occurred at the UAE SWAT Challenge in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Then there were the three Swedish female cops who couldn’t subdue one male perp. He scattered them and was able to leave the scene. The last two events are presented in a comedic video (below) I made in February.
Next, there were the four Chicago female cops who tried, unsuccessfully, to apprehend one male shoplifter late last year. (Video below.)
Yet another such incident is seen below, wherein a small, scrawny male suspect breaks away from two policewomen. Realizing the futility, they didn’t even try chasing him down on foot, either.
Most humorous, though, was a 2010 incident in NYC. An off-duty female cop named Feris Jones was getting her hair done when an armed criminal entered the salon. After drawing her gun, he fired at her; she responded in kind.
Her shots, clearly errant, happened to hit the man’s gun hand and the door handle, “briefly blocking his escape,” wrote CBS. The result?
Jones was promoted to detective!
The Spin Cycle
In other words, obviously embarrassed by her failure, the NYPD decided to started spinning like a whirling dervish.
The officer’s “reserve under fire was only matched by her marksmanship,” proclaimed then-Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
It was, though, “unclear whether Jones’ marksmanship was intentional, police said,” CBS added (do tell!). “The NYPD trains officers to aim at ‘center mass’ when using deadly force.”
Then-NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg commended the officer for her ‘incredible bravery,’” CBS further informs. He “said her story would be ‘told at the police department for many years to come.’” I’ll bet.
Whether or not Kelly and Bloomberg made their comments with a straight face was not reported.
Only Mentality Can Change Reality
Returning to the SS, Widburg says that if Trump wins the presidency, he must clean house completely and nix the woke bureaucracy. Yet while this would help, unfortunately, this is not simply a matter of draining the swamp.
First drained must be the mental swamp. There must be a sea change in moderns’ governing philosophy, one affecting their emotional foundation. We must have the following realizations:
- Equality Dogma must be totally rejected. Equality tells you nothing about quality.
- Diversity is not a strength; it’s at best a neutral reality, at worst an obstacle to be overcome.
- Just as you don’t have your cat tow a wagon or your horse catch a mouse, women and men have different roles. And what of replacing men with women in law enforcement? “It’s like spending money training Chihuahuas to be guard dogs when German shepherds are readily available,” as I wrote in February. “You could do it, I’m sure. But why would you?”
Why, indeed. And until such observations become so widely accepted that they needn’t even be said, and responses such as “sexist!” are unheard, nothing will really change.
