"What right does a 5'4" woman have to be a police officer?"

   I have been listening to the Bob Grant program and he was discussing discriminatory policies with a caller.  Bob mentioned something about how he walked out of a building one day and saw a female police officer standing about 5'4" or so and wondered to himself  "What right does she have to be a police officer?" 

   Is he unaware that there is traning to be a police officer first?  If the woman he mentioned wasn't capable of performing her duties, she wouldn't have made it through the academy.  But because Mr Grant doesn't feel protected by a woman of that size, she should be denied the opportunity to serve....ureal!
