They caught this ass hole literally a mile from my house.

Girl is lucky that she was not hurt. The perp is lucky that she did not escalate to shooting his sorry ass.

On a related note, I've always questioned the wisdom of having women serving any kind of patrol duty, especially if they are alone in the car. A large, uncooperative male suspect can just so quickly overwhelm them physically. It happens time and time again.

The flip side of that is when that large uncooperative male begins to overwhelm the female officer and she has to resort to her "force multipliers". I.E. weapons. Studies and statistics indicate that female officers resort to their weapons far more often, and far earlier than male officers. It is intuitively obvious that this would be the case. So some guy who is simply drunk and belligerent gets shot by a cop chick where he would have been subdued by a male officer. Yeah, yeah, I know - "he shoulda cooperated...". Pretty steep price to pay, though, for gender equality.

I'm glad she is alright and that they caught the guy.
