https://www.ksl.com/article/46695783/taser-fails-to-stop-man-in-scuffle-with-2-davis-county-deputies-police-say

FARMINGTON  One man is in custody after a physical altercation with two Davis County sheriff's deputies that continued even after one deputy deployed her Taser on him.

Benisimani Pouha, 42, was arrested on suspicion of several drug-related and traffic misdemeanors, and two felonies  assault against a peace officer with a weapon or force, and disarming a police officer.

While patrolling on northbound U.S. 89 before 5 a.m. Wednesday, the arresting deputy came across Pouha's car stopped halfway in a travel lane, according to an affidavit of probable cause. Approaching the vehicle from the passenger side, the deputy noticed a white residue on the passenger seat and an open box of beer in the back.

Pouha told the deputy his vehicle had broken down, but he had trouble speaking clearly and "repeatedly made exclamations as if to a person who was not there," the deputy wrote in the affidavit. He had "glassy eyes and a blank stare," the deputy continued.

When the deputy asked Pouha to exit the vehicle, he looked at her for "approximately 45 seconds" before stepping out of the car, the affidavit says. He walked toward a fence dividing the highway from the frontage road, and the deputy said she and her partner attempted to keep him from going through the fence.

Pouha did go through the fence, though, at which point the deputy's partner got in front of him and attempted to verbally stop him, the affidavit says. When Pouha pushed her partner out to the way, the deputy says her partner tackled him.

That's when the first deputy drew her Taser and warned him she would use it, according to the affidavit. When she did, Pouha fell to the ground and the deputies attempted to apply handcuffs.

"He began to fight both of us and pinned both of us to the ground," the deputy wrote.

She also mentioned that she is only 5-foot-2 and her partner 4-foot-11, while Pouha is 6 feet tall and 250 pounds.

Aren't there height requirements to be a police officer, or does that not apply to female officers because reasons?

She got away with it up to this point because Davis County is mostly Mormon suburbs (except up by Hill AFB) and prior to this most of her duty was pulling over suburban housewives in minivans, investigating porch pirates, and rousting out teenagers' illegal beer parties in the canyons.

This night the Gangs of the West Side of SLC invaded Pleasantville.  If he had been froggy one or both of them would be in the hospital right now.

Agreed. Policing is not reading children's stories to first graders. It's seriously dangerous work at times and you'd better be able to handle it. You'd better have the tools and ability to do the job. Tools in this case being muscle, weight and knowledge of defensive skills.
What would have happened had her grabbed one of their sidearms? This could have ended very badly for one or both of the female officers. I'm glad that the outcome allowed both officers to return home at the end of shift.

These little female micro cops also put dumbass drunks and tweakers at more risk.

Whereas your old school 6'2" Irish brute cop would knock some drug addled dumbass on the ground if he got a bit rowdy, these size 4 petite cops are basically going to have to shoot your ass if you don't calm down. That's the only option available to them given the size disparity.

Seems like I remember someone once telling me that "feelings can get you killed."

I remember that the females only had to do pushups on their knees durin PT. While us guys had to do full on, proper pushups. Oh, and we had to run but the females could opt to walk the distance. THAT puts them at a deficit when engaging in a combat situation. If they're gonna fight the fight, they'd better be on par with the enemy.

I think the NH state police used to have a six foot height requirement.

Honestly they should go back to that, maybe with a waiver if your lean body mass is over X amount of pounds.

"A third officer arrived on scene, pursued the man down the road, and ultimately deployed a second Taser against him, at which point he was taken into custody."

Wonder if the 3rd officer was a male. hmm...

Found this interesting when I was checking just how short 4'11" is.

Britain’s smallest professional boxer stands just 4ft 11in

115lbs with actual muscle mass and even so he would be at a massive disadvantage to any 6ft tall man you pull off the street.

Happens with Fire depts too.

I don't think so. I seem to remember someone posted a study here where the military said the ideal soldier size was 5'10 or something like that. It was the best compromise of strength, speed, endurance, etc.
