Sure does seem like most female officers are useless from bodycam footage.
For a while I worked for a paving company and we were doing a big job in a big city so we had police escorts doing traffic because the job we were doing involved slowly creeping down the street. I remember one of the cops one day was a female and one of the guy cops I was talking to killing time pointed at the female across the street and he said something to the effect of "If I'm going into a shoot out, that's who I want with me. She's one badass bitch!" He said she was chasing some guy alone into the woods behind a McDonalds once and by the time backup got there she was walking out with the guy in cuffs and he had a broken nose and broken arm. So some can do the job, obviously. Oh man, I loved when we had cops doing traffic for us. Those guys had the best stories working in a shit town with bad drug problems.
Yeah there's gota be some that can handle themselves but you can't beat physics. I've taught a bunch of women to shoot though and most of them are accurate shots. Now that doesn't mean that they have adrenaline control, muscle memory and situational awareness to be useful in a firefight but they do tend to learn quickly.
Went to LiveLeak for the real video, but its the same one. The police department did have this to say:
On 08/12/2020 at around 844 AM, Officer Urrea was in the area of Lodi Ave and the railroad tracks when she saw a male in a wheelchair who appeared to be stuck on the tracks. She noticed that the railroad crossing arms started to come down and saw that a train was approaching. She immediately exited her patrol vehicle and began running towards the male. As the train was reaching them, she was able to pull the male out of the wheelchair and they both fell back onto the ground. The male suffered a leg injury that was tended to immediately by Officer Delgado (who had arrived to assist) and Officer Urrea. The 66-year-old male was ultimately transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. Officer Urrea risked her own life to save another and her actions prevented a tragedy today. We are extremely proud of Officer Erica Urrea and her heroism.
The first time I saw it I thought she lost her grip and went tumbling, but you can tell it was a good second or 2 after she lost grip that she dove away, or maybe she possibly fell from losing grip but one of those "oh shit I'm slowly starting to fall and there's nothing I can do" type moments.
You're a cop GM? I'll try to be less insulting of female officers. But it's nots easy.
We call them "walking radios" because that's all they can do, use the radio or pull the trigger.

Thank god she parked 3 blocks away, had no upper body strength, wasted precious time calling for back up, and panicked causing a man to lose his foot.
