Listen, spare the tough life for others. I was in the Gulf during gulf war I, my best friend was burned alive, and as a little child saw my mother died. So...let's spare that as I'm sure others has experienced as bad. Probably worst.
1) I know one thing for a fact. And that is Women. When a woman is very attached to a man...and the man decides to either end things (the good way) or is caught cheating...the outcome is the same: emotional outburst from his woman.
2) Men and women can have the best psychological profile in the word PRIOR to be given LOT of power...PRIOR to be exposed to LOT of stressful situations...PRIOR to be given LOT of access to private information. And PRIOR to a life changing situation (or a perceived life changing situation like a break up).
Now combine #1 and #2 and you have a very bad situation. As you are literally powerless. Powerless. No DJ should put himself in that situation.
I'm no bashing cops. I'm bashing your "psycological" test crap as your way of choosing women from a particular group. People that rely of those tests (which are given under certain conditions) to predict how a person will behave AFTER what I wrote in #2 is fooling themselves.
Interesting perspective Latinoman, and I agree..to an extent. As we know, there's no telling what a woman is capable of, when emotionally charged.
However, do consider that past behavior can be a pretty good predictor of future behavior.
That's where I was getting at with the psych tests, and the background check.
Prior to starting law enforcment, issues such as:
1) mental instablity, any and all medical records are analyzed with a microscope.
2) drug use.
3) any and all levels of hatred, men, race, etc. should come out.
4) prior history of violence.
5) job history.
6) family history, is the person's family wacked?
7) tattoos, yes even tattoos.
For the most part, IMO, female officers are less emotional and more rational/logical then your average woman. This from my experience of knowing many female police officers. They are good officers, good women, and just quality people all around.
But you are right, women are women. Psych tests are not perfect, but given the odds with your average woman, you do know that their past was pretty solid before hand.
