At best, Coulter's evidence indicates that small, older cops shoulldn't be escorting uncuffed large men by themselves. Change her sex wouldn't have prevented this. Having the suspect cuffed and a second guard present would have.
I've seen my SO--5' 9" and 135 lbs.--accidentally break a man's wrist in Tae Kwon Do class, and throw 200 lb. men around.
Sex is irrelevant. Not following proper prodedures--keeping a prisoner accused of a violent felony cuffed and being escorted by two guards--is what caused this.
