Two female cops have been slammed after failing to detain an unruly customer in Hooters – before another patron stepped in and tackled the man to the ground. Footage shows a lightweight Hispanic man flailing around and shouting at two female police officers from the Greensboro Police Department in North Carolina who fail to subdue him. The man, who has not been identified, resists their attempts to pin him to the floor while grinning before another customer steps in and pins the man to the floor in seconds. The man recording the scene inside a branch of the popular wings restaurant says: “Well the cops can’t do their jobs. They cannot subdue a 140lb Hispanic man but that guy did.” The video, which has been posted on social media, has ignited the debate of the strength needed in dangerous police situations. One user, who reposted the video on X, write: “In the push for diversity, many agencies forbid pairing on gender or physical risk. On paper it sounds noble. “But on the street? Operation safety comes first. If policies leave officers outmatched and prolong unsafe confrontations, then the policy, not the public, is what needs fixing.” The X post, which had received almost six million views, was retweeted by conservative media pundit Ann Coulter who took the debate even further and questioned whether women should have ever been allowed on the force. She wrote: “I think the problem goes back a little further than the “pairing” policy’. “I thought hulking men in girls sports had finally forced conservatives to admit – even if feminist yelled at them — that girls aren’t as big, as fast, or as strong as men. Maybe they shouldn’t be cops.” Reactions to the video are part of a larger political conversation about the validity of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) initiatives. Some of the first executive orders signed by President Trump when he began his term were DEI policy rollbacks. The orders established a federal policy of recognizing only two genders, ceased virtually all DEI-related activities in the federal workforce, and rescinded several DEI-related executive orders issued by prior administrations, according to the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance. The orders also directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to identify private companies with ‘egregious and discriminatory’ DEI programs.
