I watch a ton of body cam videos and female cops are ... sad. Over the years there were maybe 1 or 2 female cops who kept up with their male colleagues in physical situations. The rest are glorified wet noodles.
IMHO even mentally stressful situations are sketchy. Both men and women get panic attacks in shitty situations but it seems men delay the breakdown until the adrenaline rush is over and the immediate danger is resolved. Women seem to tend to break down right then and there.
My favorite is the one where the female cop is unable to subdue a developmentally disabled 40 year old man, so she tries to shoot him. She misses, and hits his mom instead.

To be fair... it DID solve the immediate problem. They build those tasers much stronger than they used to, though.
