Politically Correct Sheriff’s Dept
Posted: March 12th, 2005, 12:24 pm
When I heard about the guy in Atlanta who over powered a deputy sheriff I wondered if the deputy was a woman. Then I heard that the sheriff was a “petite woman”. The prisoner was six foot one, two hundred twenty pound ex college football player and alleged rapist. Was this because the sheriff’s department was trying to be politically correct? Do they have any petite male sheriffs? Couldn’t they have found a larger woman deputy sheriff to guard the guy? I have known some burly women truck drivers who could pull their own weight. Should there be a different physical standard for men and women cops? I remember some fire department that was accused of setting different standards for women firefighters.

Authorities say that the 33-year-old Nichols, on trial for the fourth day, wrestled a gun away from a sheriff's deputy Friday and shot and killed Barnes and two others before escaping.
