@@AustinDallasPictures I don't give a shit what's being promoted in Dirty Harry. My comment clearly relates to the oxygen thief who posted it for the purpose of promoting his right wing agenda.
It represents the aspects of the highest profile violence on streets. And no offense but probably a police officer (male) have more “accuracy” simply as that.
@@BalrogUdun That's a big time assumption about someone just stating what he/she interprets about human nature under certain conditions as a whole. Not all daddies teach the same things. Not all kids that came from the same household believe in the same things.
And at the end I think even gains respect for the law knowledge despite her not having any arrests. He talks like an asshole to everyone but if a woman came in who said she made 500 felony arrests he'd probably take her more seriously than the suits well too bad we never got enough sequels for that character.
@@gencreeper6476 No woman ALIVE has made more than a handful of "felony arrests..." unless she is 'busting' a LOT of women, with male ASSISTANCE?! (Because three women cannot 'subdue' one average adult male, or 'mature' adolescent. I've seen footage of them TRYING, however!)
@@marelicainavokado He was concerned for both. I believe that is pretty obvious. When you put people who have no idea what they are doing in potentially life threatening positions, bad things can happen. She should have been a beat cop before even thinking about becoming an Inspector. She is jumping the line.
Harry was only ever concerned about competency. In Magnum Force his partner told him a rumor that the four young traffic cops who were great shooters were "queer for each other". Harry responded with words to the effect of "if everyone could shoot like them I wouldn't care if the whole damn force was queer".
Agree, men still haven't gotten over being pussies. 4 years ago, we had an orange pussy as president. Why do people admire scumbags who refused to serve in the military? People want to talk about courage and conviction and badassery, but I've yet to meet anyone like that from all the American men claiming to be all that and more.
Now even the military's lowering their standards for the diversity hires. And you get a bunch of female cops failing to restrain a single male criminal together.
I've seen many overweight cops that can't run at all. There should be minimum standards to stay on any police force. This brings a bit more relevance to your comment.
When she knew what law/laws had been broken, Harry seemed to think that there might be something to her. Of all the people in the room, Harry was the most impressed with her and the fairest to her. To the others, she was a token needed for the sake of appearances and as a political symbolic gesture.
However she's still a DEI hire with mostly theoretical knowledge and much less qualified for the position than those men with 10-15 years hands-on experience
@@TheAntsh On the other hand; she can get experience, those guys in the field haven't learned the law like she has in 10-15 years. You can tell by his response. She has more potential, DEI or not.

@@dyslexicLLM You got the brain, but no experience dealing with violence....wasted, just like the end of the movie. She is better suited in Internal Affairs and training police officers to ensure they know the laws.
she ends up saving his azz. In real life there is a process of coming up through the ranks .. not to mention, Hollywood policing is very different from real life policing ... the action pack crime that you see on screen, just doesn't happen often, less than 5% of the time
Indeed. He truly cared about her. The others are just patronizing her. But they'll have fools believing that he hates women somehow, and doesn't ever want them to succeed at anything. Race, and gender are no substitute for merit.
@@tomservo5007 In real life there are political appointments as well. It's not always rank and file. The mayor for instance can install whomever they wish to be police chief. Which could be somebody with ZERO qualifications but will do whatever the mayor tells them. This happened in my city, a lot of the police force's higher ups became political appointees rather than promotions for veterans of the job. The New Jersey State Troopers is a good example of lowering the standards so people who would otherwise be unqualified could make it. They said in a given year they may have as many as 2,000 to 3,000 applicants and out of those maybe 2% would pass. Until one day a woman who applied and failed complained to the governor there that the test was sexist and designed to fail women. The NJ State Troopers replied that their standards apply to ALL applicants male and female. The woman claimed no woman could complete their standards thus is was sexist. NJ governor signed an executive order forcing them to lower their standards, the woman passed and became a State Trooper despite not previously being qualified. So no... politics sometimes DOES play a role in law enforcement far more than you think. But yes, action packed crime fighting is often times just in the movies. There have been some notable shoot outs involving officers over the years but they don't come along too often.
@@Predalien195 I'm talking about the movie, they weren't filling an administrative position. Also, when standards are lowered, that usually means the number of qualified applicants dropped significantly ... those coming in, will get trained or over time and/or a self correction will occur (new people not cutting it (or liking the job) leaving, etc) . it's safer for the public in the long run than to have the number of vacant positions grow each year -- there's also a budget reason .
"The whole conversation is as relevant today (2023) as it was then. " - But Dirty Harrys were kicked out of the police force, and in their place they put in these old women in stylish pink suits, and now the policeman is afraid to even take his gun out of his holster, because he will be sued. But the George Floyds freely sell drugs, rob and rape. All of you together helped the aunt in pink win. Congratulations.
@Robnord1 Harry Callahan had virtue regardless of what anyone says today. The ending is powerful when he carries her body and has scorn for the media (tyne daly having saved his life). For me the film is incredibly relevant today.
Get a life!! I love me some Clint Eastwood I would have stood in line for a 40-year-old version of Clint Eastwood to get my turn! But you must get a life. Go get laid go get a life. If a movie clip gives you that much life, please get a bloody life!
I saw a video just the other day where 4 cops in New York City were on the scene of a purse snatching that actually happened on a train, and suddenly a woman yells "that's him" and the purse snatcher came running off the train and through the station. It was a black man of moderate size and he ran right by 2 black female NYPD officers who both stood there with shocked looks on their faces and watched the guy run right by. They didn't make any attempt to tackle the suspect or give chase, or do anything to subdue him. But then a young male officer took off running after the man and apparently, after chasing the man through the station, up to the street, and down a few blocks he finally caught the guy and arrested him. At the scene of the arrest, the female officers were nowhere in sight.
ive heard stories of female officers locking themselves in divisional vans and even locking themselves in station cells to escape an aggressor all the while watching their male colleagues struggle to subdue the suspects... these are not by any means isolated incidents i know personally an officer who complained he didnt feel safe with his female partner as every time he has to make an arrest she literally runs away! guess what they did about the complaint? they moved HIM to another station, without overtime!
@nicksalta I'm all for equal opportunities for women, but equal opportunity isn't the same as quotas for hiring a certain number of women. Especially when the vast majority of women aren't even qualified.
Try working with female managers, they think that management is having all your staff say you are brilliant when you are shit, and if anyone criticises any of the work, including financial mismanagement, poor administrative control, avoidance of duties, poor timekeeping etc instead of doing better, they bitch about the clothes and hair of the person noticing. It's the weirdest.. female managers in their 50s are basically like bitchy half formed 14 year old girls
Except women have proven since then that they can do the job just fine, so for all intents and purposes, Harry Callahan was the dumb shit in this scene.
@@1970JonHENRY Oh, get bent, that insufferable bint In the corner may as well have been named “Budith Jutler”. The writer saw where that nonsense was going 50 miles & years years away, and has been proven 100% correct.
The icing on the cake here, at the end when she answers his question, she's dismissed by the other interviewers who no longer are playing their games. But Harry clearly liked her answer, yet they call him the bigot.
Nah, he's being sexist. Questioning ANY situation involving women is sexist, and all it would take is for her, her partner or both to be shot dead to prove he was right in the first place!
If that had been a male police officer being tested and examined inspector Callahan would have acted no differently. I liked the line with the pony and exhibitionism though LOL
This clip isn’t about feminism. It’s a fantastic metaphor for how bureaucracy destroys the pillars of society. Not by statute. But by the rot of hierarchy that isn’t based on merit anymore.
@@genericnamehere7602 Actually, It’s not about feminism at all. A female was clearly his superior. He was criticizing the woman in question’s specific combat experience-not her gender. A female with combat experience might even be superior to his. I’ve seen it in the field.
@@blackstonepros Which female are you claiming was his superior? That young female officer trying to get bumped up to Inspector? The same one who's entire police career had hitherto been in "personnel and records"? She answered his hypothetical question correctly, but that doesn't make her anything close to being his superior. Now, we all KNOW its just a fictional movie but, you're fooling yourself if you think this isn't some kind of commentary on feminism or women's lib.
@@jerrymason7887 it wasn't. All of harrys partners die if you watch the movies. He wasn't concerned about her safety, he was concerned if she was ready to lay down her life or not. He finds out she was. He comes from the old school Irish. 59% of the medal of honours, 9% of the population. Running towards an explosion instead of away. Rough around the edges, give you a smack in the head if they catch you mugging someone, but throw you out of the way of a bullet and unload their clip into someone trying to hurt you. Harry and all the Irish like him in this film know they are all going, they are all being replaced, they are not wanted anymore. All harry wanted to know was, is she ready to look into danger and act, or will she pull out her gun and shoot someone dead for reaching for a pocket.. In other films you see harry concerned about other mens abilities to do the same. In one he is concerned that the mental health of one of the men has been broken and he needs to retire. He also goes toe to toe with a guy who sat behind a desk afraid to walk the streets but then thinks he can pull a gun on harry. The irish back then were seen as really rough around the edge dinosaurs and they all stepped aside, but they were also seen as really really brave with constant stories of them doing stuff crazy brave. All harry wanted to be sure of, was at the very least they were to be replaced by brave people.
I agree. We ought to consolidate out supposedly cancellable movies like Looney Tunes, Dirty Harry, and Gone With the Wind, and put them in their own channel. We're going to have to give a disclaimer declaring show like these 'For Mature Audiences Only' because one mature people can differentiate between fiction and reality without being easily offended losers.
it IS an actual question. just not one for woman. woman are under very very different requirements than men, basically they have none. hence why you see so many 110Lb 21 year old "police officers". actually, they are more likely to be hired if they are young, completely inexperienced, and have a bunch of completely unrelated extra curricular activities.
I find it disappointing how many people completely miss the point of this scene - the ultimate irony is that the "neanderthal" is the only one in the room who really gives a damn about Officer Moore. He's rightfully concerned that the mayor's initiative will result in candidates being placed in harm's way when they are in no way qualified to handle such situations. Harry doesn't want someone to die because of the foolishness of the mayor's office. Turns out his concerns are very well founded because Moore doesn't survive the movie. Love this scene.
The brass isn't in the field, the only wolf they need to fear is political danger. They don't care if their cops get people killed, there's always more applicants.
It was playing politics that put in her in that position without the prescribed experience. She would earn her keep and her partner's respect, but it was in saving a politician that led to her untimely and tragic sacrifice.
He is against women on duty as patriarchy is against women. And since in a patriarchy women were historically diminished and Harry opposes change, then Harry defends the historical unequal status quo. As simple as that.
@@birdsteak9267 If I remember correctly the woman in the movie did quite well in the end. You cant just pick the parts you like and throw away the rest. Women need the chance to gain the same training as men then our pool of trained officers becomes larger. Obviously rushing an unexperienced officer to a detective roles isnt the right way and I think this is conveyed in the movie quite well.
@@michalismarolachakis9596 There is a reason why the military lowered the minimum requirements for women in the military, because even if we gave them a chance, they couldn't keep up with the standards the military has for men. It is a delusion of reality to believe that Women and Men are physically equal. It is for the same reasons that Women and Men in Sport are separated. (With the exception of those who switch genders, but biological women are starting to wake up and realize that Biological Men have now taken over their sport, because they win in everything) I'm not saying that women don't have a place in the police, but not in the streets, not in physically active duty where they have to deal with potentially dangerous situations with criminals. This is a movie, yes and she did well because the narration is politically motivated. People are misled by movies and to a greater extent than the viewers' egos are willing to admit. In Sweden, 5 Female officers failed to take down an aggressive unarmed migrant, he threw them around like they were dolls. The danger is also that all women must now have a male assistant, and all police on duty usually have an assistant, because they have to watch each other's backs. If a situation arises where the woman is unable to do her part, the man will not be able to do it either because he is now understaffed in relation to the situation. Where women are best served is during interrogations at Police Stations and other such work. You can watch this movie, continue to be a brainwashed individual, no one is stopping you from avoiding reality. people like you put Women in danger by putting them in situations they are not biologically meant to be in, all for an IDEOLOGY.. I don't know if you are a Sadist, or if your only chance for reproduction is to follow the trend. To understand reality doesn't make anyone a Neanderthal just because ideologs have lost all grip on reality.
I like that Harry objected on reasonable grounds. And also that Tyne Dalys character wound up earning his respect and that he gave it once it was earned.
I like how when she starts proving her merit at the end Harry pays more attention while the rest are like "yeah whatever shut up," shows how little they care about what someone can do and how much they care about fulfilling quotas.
Distran The Gloriously Deformed That's not true. Gonzales from the first movie, "Dirty Harry". He lived but quit the Force. Quan, from "The Dead Pool", he also survived and as far as I saw, didn't quit
She has knowledge about laws. She has experience ON the force even if she has no proper field experience. She knows laws and paperwork. Give her some proper training, some proper field experience. THEN she'd make a proper inspector. At the moment, she has done nothing to prove her actual field worth, no experience. But she's proved her merit by knowing HOW to do field work. It's not that she has NO merit, it's just that she needs MORE merit, more experience.
A scene that becomes more relevant with the passage of time. Just recently the US Army eased physical fitness standards for women, creating a different set for men & women. Merit takes a backseat in the name of equality, no matter how damaging the consequences.
Yeah and the men can recharge the birthrates of our lost soldiers and breast feed! Wait....Turns out that the male ego might not be able to handle women doing something better than us, so we block them from doing it, and when they start, talk about who awful they are. Doesn't matter, you probably won't get the chance to meet a women or procreate you weeb!
I think later in the movie she actually saves his life though. I actually think she did well in the interview. She was aware of the risk to her life and willing to, plus she applied a relatively obscure area of the law to an indecent example sprung on her impromptu.
actually, she might have had a good answer to the question "What gets you right to apply for being an inspector", but Ms. Grey stepped in "to defend her"
@@inzynierskacompany9084 she very well may have. I'm not speaking on her competence, but the fact that Harry was accused of being a sexist when he wasn't

The point to me is that he's not being sexist; he's not saying she can't do the job because she's a woman. He's saying she can't do it because she's not qualified. This is one of quite a number of things feminists get confused about.
But she can’t be qualified if she’s never given the opportunity to be. She’s been sat behind a desk for years. Someone had to be the first to get out there and get “their ass blown off” lol
@@ML-sc3pt True - fairy 'nuff - i was just trying to be charitable toward real feminists (who seem to no longer be heard from). I know a fellow who teaches we have never had a feminist "revolution", rather a "masculinist" revolution - which is how he characterizes the 1960s and later drive toward assuming roles rather than establishing parity in rights.
The main question is what gives her the right to be an inspector when there are policemen who have been on the street for 10-15 years and didn't get the opportunity.
True but policing isn't just about arresting people and shooting bad guys like in Dirty Harry. If you know your team you know their strengths and what they can do. Use the correct tools for the job.
If a woman, or anyone for that matter, can do the job, let em do it. But Harry Callahan has a point. I think he would have grilled a man the same way he grilled this woman.
Ive been an officer for over 30 yrs and i can tell you that most woman cant handle the job as well as most men regardless of what the liberal media tells you.
You talk with the air coming from your lungs and the position of your tongue. As long as your mouth is slightly open for the air to come out, you don't need to move your jaw much. Try it.
He is spot on absolutely right. Surrendering on the standard of a merit based society, which actually had qualified employees, workers , officials , police etc will be the downfall of America. A bunch of know nothings and do nothings rule America today.
From what I gather, Harry genuinely cares about Officer Moore’s well-being and doesn’t want to see her or her partner get hurt or worse, hence why he keeps asking about her experience and qualifications for the job. The rest of the board only wants to hire her because of her sex and/or race and because it will make them look good for doing so. THAT is the definition of tokenism
Harry's the only interviewer who treated her as a police officer, not as a woman. Even the opening explanation the interviewer gave was demeaning. And as a result, Harry's the only interviewer in the room who Officer Moore actually respects.
#1 problem today. Company I work for is in dire straits trying to find people who can do the kind of work I do. Sad to see really generations who won't engage.
I mean it's weird to say that it's clever or subtle when it's literally the most obvious charge that could be filed for the situation he describes. I get it on a literal level I just don't get how it's funny. Funny to me means originality or having a grasp theatric timing, ya know things like that?
@Suffer No Fools that's not your point, that's my point. I'm the one who said I don't get it and asked if anyone could explain it. You're not really breaking any new ground with that
I can't condemn Harry here. I'm retired from 32-years with a Metropolitan Police. Female officers are just as smart, trainable and brave as their male counterparts, and approach the job with the same positive frame of mind. But, there are two critical areas they are seriously lacking. The first is physical confrontations. I have never seen a female officer able to overcome and control a fighting male suspect ... not nearly, and not even once. Further, it is impossible to train a 5' female to kick a 6' man's ass. You can train her in every fighting art possible for as long as you wish, while training the man to eat marsh mellows on the couch, and the man will win the confrontation in seconds --- it's a factual reality; not the myth promoted by TV and movies where she roundhouse kicks the neighborhood clean of evil. Not only does she risk herself in bad fights, but the well-being of her partner. The second liability is that she can't take punches. Knock a male cop on his ass and he'll dust himself off and stand back up. Punch her in the face and she'll need her jaw wired, teeth fixed, and orbital socket bones surgically reset. The trend has been moving to the military too, and I suspect the Army and Marines will handle it the same as law enforcement ---- the men will carry the dead weight at their own risk (I'm also a former regular army officer). Females are NOT dead weight by nature; ONLY in those situations where they are not biologically gifted with size, upper body strength and durability. (As a police officer I've often had to do double duty carrying gurneys with patients because the paramedic girls can't lift the weight, but that's another story). Further most girls --- Tomboys an exception --- don't grow up in a rough and tumble environment. The first serious fight they experience is in uniform and it's an ugly and traumatic experience. And unfortunately, some females actually expect the system, their co-workers and even the criminals to treat them with deference!!! I love women; my mother and my wife are both women! But a woman joining a major police force is like me joining when all the people I meet are over 7-feet tall and weigh 400 pounds. Finally, even if they didn't know their physical limitations before they joined, they learn that very quickly. And, they compensate by using deadly force with regularity because they have no other alternative. Where a male cop will attempt to overcome a resisting/fighting suspect using only his body; female officers without male backup are more likely to drop back and double-tap the suspect center-mass. Women are a minority on police departments; their numbers just enough to satisfy the feminists and know-nothing social "reformers." But, if the police departments makeup reflected the actual female percentage in the general population, then three of four deadly force incidents would be by female officers. In fact, relative capability to defend/assault between defender/attacker respectively is a key element in considering whether deadly force was legal. In that sense, a female officer is the most dangerous uniformed person carrying a firearm if your thing is to resist lawful arrest. She can shoot your ass under situations a male officer could not, AND get away with. The bottom line is this; how much PC is gained by placing men in traditional male roles? How is the public and the department better served? And even if the answers are all good, is it worth the injuries and even lost lives that have resulted? And no, I am not trying to force women off police departments. The program is almost 40-years old and it isn't going anywhere soon. For any officer of any gender, these problems exist in the here and not of reality; not philosophical issues to be discussed over an extra Starbucks at lunch. I've had to call for backup myself, and I wanted 6'4" Officer WIlly Whupass to show up, not 5'2" Sissy Lightweight. Finally, I cannot argue with anyone who thinks women should be in combat/law enforcement out of a sense of fairness. Because if that is the only consideration, then they are 100% right. But, their concern stops with the hiring process and never considers what happens afterward. Second, anyone who disagrees with the facts I just wrote is a know-nothing fool of the first water.
Actually, they're not right when it comes to fairness. It's not fair, for example, that someone who got terrible grades was admitted to a medical school over someone who got brilliant grades. Likewise, it's not fair that the person who can do the job better (a man) is being passed over for someone who does it worse (a woman).
mnpd3: I wouldn't compare law enforcement to the military though. Soldiers are trained to kill the enemy. Something that is very easy to do, even for an untrained and unskilled soldier with modern firearms. The goal of all military grade firearms is durability, precision and ease of use, so that you can pretty much put it in the hands of any untrained peasant (man, woman or even a child) and scramble a reasonably effective militia out of a bunch of them in a hurry. While women are unlikely to be fit for special forces, their general physical shortcomings won't be that much or a drawback for regular infantry work. Law enforcement is different. Shooting to kill is not the priority but the last resort. Police officers are more expected to take down and restrain suspects to have them stand trial. It requires a lot more physical ability of a person to do this, than it requires to point an assault rifle at the enemy and pull the trigger. There are also plenty of stellar examples where women who have served have been a huge asset to the war effort. Lyudmilla Pavilchenko for instance is one of the worlds top snipers on record who fought for the Soviets during WWII (she's up there with Simo Häyyhä, Vasilj Zaitsyev in the top ten list of most confirmed battlefield kills). This is of course no reason to lower the standards in the military during peacetime (an extremely negative development). During peacetime, when defense budgets are at their lowest, you should of course only accept the most well suited applicants. I'm just saying that you shouldn't just discount women on principle. Let all those who want to try, try it. And wash out those who do not make the cut.
I think you are underestimating the amount of physical and mental labour a soldier has to put into his work in order to achieve results. For one, the equipment soldiers carry is very heavy. A good number of classes cannot be registered for if you have as little as a lightly hunched back due to the weight you will be carrying. Additionally, a soldier has to be strong enough to lift and carry other soldiers. A woman will have a lot more issues carrying a male soldier than a man would. Women can be part of police and military force, but you cannot put them into frontline infantry positions or other positions requiring physical labour. Don't expect your assault team's average performance to stay on the same level it was before women joined. It will drop harshly, guaranteed.
We can overcome the psycological aspect with the right approach to this bloody social stigma that women "should stay at home", but the physiological aspect is down to the individual's build (men included). There is a place on the front lines for both men and women, but men simply have the physical advantage more often than not. If a female meets the physical standards normally set for male applicants, and she's proven just as mentally and emotionally resilient as her male counterpart, then by all means, let her join the force. There's no good reason to stop her from doing so.
"just as smart, trainable and brave" REALLY? You do realize that it's A FACT that human males are significantly more intelligent than human females? I Also just as brave ? really? Did you live on mars or something? I think this got to be the most idiotic thing I have heard since I can't even remember.
He's not wrong. every now and again a story breaks about a violent convict that overpowered their female guard and either injured them or escaped into the public, or what's almost worse, were shot or killed by women who weren't strong enough to use nonlethal techniques. If you use officers that lack upper body strength they WILL turn to lethal means of self defense because they lack the ability to defend themselves in any other way. I don't mean to sound intolerant but the #1 thing I should know about any officer out there in uniform wearing the shield is that they're able to do their job. That applies to petite little 140 pound women, and great fat lazy 400lb sherriffs deputies, neither have a place on the force IMHO
@@hagamapama There used to be compilation videos showing exactly the things you describe here on YT. Can't find them now as reality is sexist it would appear. Whole compilations of female police officers unable to do their jobs and perform arrests on males, endanger their male colleagues, or use lethal force as you describe where it would not have been needed. Here in the UK I've witnessed a whole car full of female officers mocked by teenagers because they know they wouldn't be able to arrest them without the help of their male colleagues. This is the reality but to point it out is to be hateful and sexist. Absolute insanity.
@@CaptainButtonMasher I think the lethal force argument is the real bugbear in the room. People don't want to deal with it but men are dying because we trust women to bring them in with a mix of nonlethal techniques they don't have the strength to use, and lethal ones that don't require strength. If tazers or stun guns become more reliable we can revisit this conversation perhaps, but for right now, tolerance is a poor excuse to kill a man.

We saw this topic in action during the recent Mannheim islamist knife attack on a policeman in Germany. There were around 8 policemen, 4 females. They were so clueless in the situation, the video shows them shouting hysterically and instead of covering the back of their comrad who instantly decided to engage, they back up and retreated. Reality hits ideology.
“Hell of a price to pay for being stylish.” Something he didn’t anticipate is that the people don’t care what the consequences are, they just want to be stylish.
As someone who supports equal rights (or rather opposes illogical b.s.), I think Harry is totally in the right here. What he's worried about is her experience and potential. He doesn't want someone unqualified to become an inspector. And I think he might have been mildly impressed with her knowledge of the law at the end. Just something to note: promoting her only because she's a woman is the exact same as not letting her even try. Either way it's illogical, and it's b.s.
Yeah, exactly. As another comment said, at the end, when the woman starts to show her extensive knowledge of law and procedure, Callahan is genuinely interested in what she has to say. Whereas the other two were like "Yeah, yeah. You're a woman, you got the job, so we don't care to hear about your skills and knowledge." So they're the real sexist here.
I think his main point was, there are men, who have worked their asses off, in the field, for 10-15 years, that truly deserve the position that she's being put up for, just to be stylish. She clearly doesn't have the experience, and that lack of experience doesn't just possibly get her killed, but her partner too. Only people that truly are the best for the job, should get the job. Style should never be part of the equation.
Young viewers born in this century might think the Dirty Harry character was being prophetic when this scene was filmed sometime in the 1970s. But when I was in college 50+ years ago studying Spanish, Latino, and French literature I could have predicted "diversity equity and inclusion" politics (which is anything but inclusive) taking over all large cities in the foreseeable future, just based on the flagrant and open political biases of my college Professors. What I did not anticipate as a young college student was that this "DEI" politics would take over not just all cities and most of academia but nearly all the board rooms of corporate giants worldwide.
There is a lot of movie in 4:33! I LOVE the resting his head on the eraser - that is so "I'm in 3rd grade and want recess" the other board members dismissed the candidate and Harry found value. So they all talked a story but walked a different one.

the customs are just not the same as they were back then either. There really isnt much appeal to make "movies like this" because they would sound backwards and retarded in today's customs. Still a powerful clip and moment though, reminds people to put common sense and safety before politics.
I always wanted to be a cop but when I saw how many women the phoenix police department hired because of affirmative action, I never joined or even applied
It's interesting how we have enough sense to recognize that eastwoods character is sensible, yet, we lose that ability when scrutinizing that caricature "feminist."
Progress? You mean replacing a man with almost 30 years of experience dealing with criminals with someone who's never even made an arrest before? Oh, now I feel safer now knowing that she is in his desk and dealing with crime. The fact is America has also been one of the best countries that has the ability to evolve and change in very good ways. Yes, it's true we had no rights for females in this country for a long time, but over time with some actually great, strong, & feminine women that fought together to make an incredible change in this country. The problem is the progressive types that demand that things need to be in place because of quotas or a person sex or race. It used to be that people got promotions based on their experience in the business and learning all they can so that they are ready for this new job. Now, this movie does show that she is very intelligent and later on proves that she has what it takes to be an inspector. Now, replace her with someone who thinks they are ready for this job and has the same experience as her, but doesn't have the spirit that she has for this line of work. So, like Harry says, what will that person do if someone pushes a gun in their face when they are trying to stop a crime. Progress is good, but not when someone has an agenda or quotas to fill that could get other people hurt or even worse killed.
This scene was nearly prophetic with social justice and affirmative action. Placing people that are otherwise unqualified into positions simply because of their sex, religion or other. The world has gone nuts.
jjs, well guess what? She was quite qualified and should not have been doing desk duty in the first place. She impressed Dirty Harry in her answer to the question.
"Alright, I'm standing on a street corner and Mrs. Gray there comes up and propositions me that if I come home with her for five dollars she'll put on a show with a Shetland Pony" "I just want to know if anyone in this room can tell what crime is being committed, other than cruelty to animals." 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
My sister joined the marines. She was able to do easily the same thing the men were required to do. She still can. There should be no difference in physical requirements for either gender no matter what. Same running ability and strength. No exceptions. Exceptions are how you get a weak military. Should be the same way with a police force.
Daniel Walmsley Yes I agree. In the field there are no gender comprimises. If someone cant handle the standards, physically or mentally, they're better off finding a different profession than being given a free ride to the front lines only to get their head blown off
The problem is that in military and law enforcement, the standards have been lowered so that women can pass with flying colors too. If the standards are raised to a level that pushes men to their physical limits (which they should be, in order to produce an elite force), women CANNOT compete. Period.
Bikewithlove Yeah it appears the macho men in the comment section don't quite get that..of course equality shouldn't equate equal outcome! Not everyone is suited for high stress jobs, quotations are insane in these cases. When it's about board members? It might be defensible. NOT when people's lives and public safety are on the line. (I'm a humanist/egalitarian 22 year old woman from Sweden if it matters)
Harry isn't trying to get the candidate killed. Putting unqualified officer on the street endangered the candidate and their partner. But being stylish is more important.
I don't know how he can get that vein on his temple to pop out when he's acting angry.. Great talent and it gives the scene(s) a feel of authenticity..
"Except that out there, you're gonna have a partner; if you get blown away, he gets blown away with you. And that's a hell of a price to pay for being stylish." Nailed it.
No, the films show Harry getting assigned partners by the chief, so therefor it's his boss who's making that choice, not Harry, he even says that his partners usually get killed.
The law is based on when the officer feels their life threatened. They can draw their firearm to shoot whomever is doing the threatening. Females are more likely and probable to feel their life threatened, especially by larger people, like big huge guys. So when you read articles like 'Cops kills unarmed Black Man' look to see the gender of the officer. Also you won't see many Cops kill unarmed White Man' articles, especially if the cops are black. They won't racialize it until it is a black person. They also will never genderize the article "White Female officer shoots unarmed Black man". That article title will never be written even when in is a fact of the situation about which the article is written.
I work for Asia Pac company as regional HR. Diversity and inclusion was introduced in 1992 from our US HQ. The quota recruitment was introduced and suddenly recruitment selection is no longer on merit, competency and unique talent but gender and skin to meet quota. We at Asia Pac HQ actually stick to our selection and our slogan " may the best candidate win"
Women you can say whatever you want about this comment, but here is my view on this scene. Harry Callahan probably cared more about that officer than anyone else in that room. When he mentioned that she was going to have a partner, that is when the light finally turned on in her head. Granted he may not have shown it in a way that most of us are used to, but he truly did care about the safety of her well being as well as the officers that were going to be working with her. The mayor wanted to be trendy without realizing the consequences of putting someone in a position where they have little to no experience. That's piss poor leadership, and the blood of those that get themselves killed will be on the mayor's hands not the sergeants or inspectors that were working with her. With experience comes rank, with rank comes responsibilities, and with responsibilities comes accountability and reliability. When someone is just thrown into a situation without the proper training, experience, or knowledge, the want, desire, and ambition can be thrown out the window because that person lacks the one thing that is completely necessary. It is never sexist to care for the wellbeing of another person regardless of race, religion, sex, or age. But when stubbornness and arrogance collides with competence and wisdom, experience will be the deciding factor and those who fail to see the history behind the mistake are condemned to repeat it, or worse.
He is right there he not against women being in police force he against on how stubborn and stupid that they can be they aren't even aware of the dangers of making a arrest or what the cost of losing or putting some one life at risk
Exactly. This is why I dislike politicians, especially in the western world. They care more about giving virtue signals & being trendy than about the well-being of humanity.
I love the last 15 seconds where you can see Callehan being surprise and starting to take her seriously while the others in the room never did because they only wanted a token.
I feel like Moore evolves through this movie. One of my favorite scenes is when she protects the mayor. She does everything in her power to makes sure the mayor remains calm as she guides him to safety.
@@glennarcher6 if you have to select from an unfit group without any experience, might as well at least choose the one with the brains….. and besides, she had already proven she had a sense of humor when she was smiling about his jokes about Mrs Gray (and her Shetland pony)….
"That sounds very stylish." 😂 He was totally right to ask the questions he did. I wouldn't want an officer helping me in a time of trouble if they had no experience at all out in the field, especially if there's gunfire or a dangerous situation. It wouldn't matter to me if the officer was male or female - just as long as they have experience in times like that and know what they're doing.
Not once was her gender raised by him. It was everyone else in the room focussing on it. He was solely interested in her experience and qualifications alone, for her own safety and well-being as well as the safety of whoever will be partnered with her. Exactly how it should be.
But she doesn't need anyone to worry about her safety a job is a job, her experience and qualifications are looked at when she's interviewed and hired. It is no one's place after that to Question anyone women or men about anything
@@rubeng5316 Uh...it is 100% his place to question her even after hiring. Because if you're a new enlistee in the Army and you want to go Ranger without being Ranger-qualified, then yes, you will be questioned because you most likely will not know what the fuck you're doing. It's civilians like you that get people killed.
At that time San Fransisco was NOT the "mainstream". It was instead one of the first cities to implement things like this, at the 'forefront of Hope and Change" to use Obama's language. Notice how that woman is acting. She represents real Power, the mayor's office, so she as a woman is not oppressed. She is the Oppressor, and yet, also implies that elected officials can change institutions. If that is the case could not a new political movement today produce mayors that could equally alter the present-day institutions. They could and that is what those who changed these institutions fear.
Mrs. Gray is saying what she calls Sexists are Neanderthals. Really? I know many Woman who are Sexist. They are Neandertals by her logic. Hillary Clinton for example is a Neandertal, so is Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi, all are Neandertals.
What no one else in that room realized was that Harry was genuinely concerned not only for her safety but her partner’s as well. And he’s not about to sugarcoat it.
It’s almost like they were playing a role here. You could even say it was like they were reading an exaggerated, prepared set of lines written to accentuate that exact idea. Crazy that this is a video of an actual promotion board and not a movie…
Yes, to an extent. Doesn't change the fact that men are biologically stronger than women, mentally and physically. We naturally have more muscle mass and better bone structure for physical stress.
Anyone remember the Rodney King beating? Here's the hidden story behind it: The LA Police Department in 1992 was the only major Police Dept to have met the goal of racial integration to the the courts' orders. they had had a height requirement of 5'10", and they trained applicants in hand to hand combat. but politically correct folks decided that this discriminated agains certain minorities and women, so they lowered the height requirement to 5'2" Needless to say, all kind of women and short men were getting busted up in hand to hand combat with big street toughs. One can imagine the money lost by paying cops for being permanently disabled. So instead of lessening the amount of short cops, they changed policy to eliminate hand to hand combat. Cops were instructed to use their batons only on anyone who didn't comply with an arrest. So the beating you say on Rodney, who had just brought the cops on 100mph car chase came about because they were not allow to subdue him any other way. Two others involved in the chase were handcuffed without incident...Rodney was high on crack or PCP...can't remember which....
Joe Marshall ..facts matter. I think the video speaks for itself. To escape tribalism rewards courage. Reflection is an unceasing censer. Moral authority is often found in the mirror, test ones words there first. if ever still in doubt... just ask .. what Jesus would do?
He said, having established she had never made an arrest, “why give the promotion to her, when there are guys out there with 15 years’ experience on the street.” The problem is, all the others heard was “guys” and “her”, but the key phrase is “15 years’ experience on the street.”
I've been a cop for 3 years and I can tell you, I openly and honestly prefer not to work with most women on my shift. There are 5 females on my shift. 3 of them are rude and obnoxious to the male officers and the public, and the other two who are genuinely ncie and pleasent, can't even subdue a 12 year old. Just yesterday I was forced to partner up with a female who is very often in a bad mood and is very unprofessional towards everyone because she can't check her emotiosn at the door. We go to a call regarding a teen off his head on drugs, and when we get him, even though he was distrubing the peace and calling me names (because of course, I, the MALE have to to put and keep hands on him the entire time) she says and does nothing, not caring one bit. She decides herself, without consulting me, that we 're not arresing him and will just drop him off at his mum's house. He's giving me abuse most of the way over and she doesn't give a shit, but as soon as he makes a cheecky comment at her, that's it, he's now under arrest, even though his comment was not profane in any way, ie she arrested him not for the laws he had broken, but because he had annoyed her... When she realises however that we notified out control room that we had picked him up 15 minutes ago to simply transport home and the time of arrest was now a lot later, she knew she would have to justify her action to arrest him in court at that point, rather than when we first found him. Being a coward, she again, for the 3rd fucking time, unilaterally decides that it's now MY arrest, and my paperwork to deal with... I told her flat out, I'm writing in the case that he had broken the law at the time he did and she decided to place him under arrest 15 minutes later and she can explain it in court. I'm not her fucking grease monkey, if she wants to fucking jail people for bullshit, she can tell the court heself, I'm not lying for her.
man thats a shitty work situation when it happens. hope she gets demoted to just doing desk work, dont need people with her coward attitude wearing a badge

The only one in that room concerned about her safety is Detective Harry Callahan.
No, he was concerned about her potential male colleagues
And at the end I think even gains respect for the law knowledge despite her not having any arrests.

@@gencreeper6476 No woman ALIVE has made more than a handful of "felony arrests..." unless she is 'busting' a LOT of women, with male ASSISTANCE?! (Because three women cannot 'subdue' one average adult male, or 'mature' adolescent. I've seen footage of them TRYING, however!)
@@marelicainavokado He was concerned for both. I believe that is pretty obvious. When you put people who have no idea what they are doing in potentially life threatening positions, bad things can happen. She should have been a beat cop before even thinking about becoming an Inspector. She is jumping the line.
Harry was only ever concerned about competency. In Magnum Force his partner told him a rumor that the four young traffic cops who were great shooters were "queer for each other". Harry responded with words to the effect of "if everyone could shoot like them I wouldn't care if the whole damn force was queer".

she ends up saving his azz. In real life there is a process of coming up through the ranks .. not to mention, Hollywood policing is very different from real life policing ... the action pack crime that you see on screen, just doesn't happen often, less than 5% of the time
@@tomservo5007 also, I doubt police officers know the laws like she did
Indeed. He truly cared about her. The others are just patronizing her. But they'll have fools believing that he hates women somehow, and doesn't ever want them to succeed at anything. Race, and gender are no substitute for merit.
@@tomservo5007 In real life there are political appointments as well. It's not always rank and file. The mayor for instance can install whomever they wish to be police chief. Which could be somebody with ZERO qualifications but will do whatever the mayor tells them.
This happened in my city, a lot of the police force's higher ups became political appointees rather than promotions for veterans of the job.
The New Jersey State Troopers is a good example of lowering the standards so people who would otherwise be unqualified could make it. They said in a given year they may have as many as 2,000 to 3,000 applicants and out of those maybe 2% would pass. Until one day a woman who applied and failed complained to the governor there that the test was sexist and designed to fail women. The NJ State Troopers replied that their standards apply to ALL applicants male and female. The woman claimed no woman could complete their standards thus is was sexist. NJ governor signed an executive order forcing them to lower their standards, the woman passed and became a State Trooper despite not previously being qualified.
So no... politics sometimes DOES play a role in law enforcement far more than you think. But yes, action packed crime fighting is often times just in the movies. There have been some notable shoot outs involving officers over the years but they don't come along too often.
@@Predalien195 I'm talking about the movie, they weren't filling an administrative position. Also, when standards are lowered, that usually means the number of qualified applicants dropped significantly ... those coming in, will get trained or over time and/or a self correction will occur (new people not cutting it (or liking the job) leaving, etc) . it's safer for the public in the long run than to have the number of vacant positions grow each year -- there's also a budget reason .

I saw a video just the other day where 4 cops in New York City were on the scene of a purse snatching that actually happened on a train, and suddenly a woman yells "that's him" and the purse snatcher came running off the train and through the station. It was a black man of moderate size and he ran right by 2 black female NYPD officers who both stood there with shocked looks on their faces and watched the guy run right by. They didn't make any attempt to tackle the suspect or give chase, or do anything to subdue him. But then a young male officer took off running after the man and apparently, after chasing the man through the station, up to the street, and down a few blocks he finally caught the guy and arrested him. At the scene of the arrest, the female officers were nowhere in sight.
ive heard stories of female officers locking themselves in divisional vans and even locking themselves in station cells to escape an aggressor all the while watching their male colleagues struggle to subdue the suspects... these are not by any means isolated incidents i know personally an officer who complained he didnt feel safe with his female partner as every time he has to make an arrest she literally runs away! guess what they did about the complaint? they moved HIM to another station, without overtime!
@nicksalta I'm all for equal opportunities for women, but equal opportunity isn't the same as quotas for hiring a certain number of women. Especially when the vast majority of women aren't even qualified.

it IS an actual question. just not one for woman. woman are under very very different requirements than men, basically they have none. hence why you see so many 110Lb 21 year old "police officers". actually, they are more likely to be hired if they are young, completely inexperienced, and have a bunch of completely unrelated extra curricular activities.
This movie could never be made in 2024 - 25
Only if they flip the roles of Harry and the lady cop😂😂😂
That was the 70's and they called it spot on.
I find it disappointing how many people completely miss the point of this scene - the ultimate irony is that the "neanderthal" is the only one in the room who really gives a damn about Officer Moore. He's rightfully concerned that the mayor's initiative will result in candidates being placed in harm's way when they are in no way qualified to handle such situations. Harry doesn't want someone to die because of the foolishness of the mayor's office. Turns out his concerns are very well founded because Moore doesn't survive the movie. Love this scene.
The brass isn't in the field, the only wolf they need to fear is political danger. They don't care if their cops get people killed, there's always more applicants.
It was playing politics that put in her in that position without the prescribed experience. She would earn her keep and her partner's respect, but it was in saving a politician that led to her untimely and tragic sacrifice.
Literally nobody (apart from the people actually in the scene) missed that.
I also kind of appreciate that even Moore is amused by Gray's response to the hypothetical.
It's her ass
You can see that he is not against women on duty, he's against putting someone without previous experience in a dangerous situation.
Sweden is a great example of why Women on Duty simply doesn't work
He is against women on duty as patriarchy is against women. And since in a patriarchy women were historically diminished and Harry opposes change, then Harry defends the historical unequal status quo. As simple as that.
@@tobias064 You need to break free from the lies
@@birdsteak9267 If I remember correctly the woman in the movie did quite well in the end. You cant just pick the parts you like and throw away the rest. Women need the chance to gain the same training as men then our pool of trained officers becomes larger. Obviously rushing an unexperienced officer to a detective roles isnt the right way and I think this is conveyed in the movie quite well.
@@michalismarolachakis9596 There is a reason why the military lowered the minimum requirements for women in the military, because even if we gave them a chance, they couldn't keep up with the standards the military has for men. It is a delusion of reality to believe that Women and Men are physically equal. It is for the same reasons that Women and Men in Sport are separated. (With the exception of those who switch genders, but biological women are starting to wake up and realize that Biological Men have now taken over their sport, because they win in everything)
I'm not saying that women don't have a place in the police, but not in the streets, not in physically active duty where they have to deal with potentially dangerous situations with criminals. This is a movie, yes and she did well because the narration is politically motivated. People are misled by movies and to a greater extent than the viewers' egos are willing to admit.
In Sweden, 5 Female officers failed to take down an aggressive unarmed migrant, he threw them around like they were dolls. The danger is also that all women must now have a male assistant, and all police on duty usually have an assistant, because they have to watch each other's backs. If a situation arises where the woman is unable to do her part, the man will not be able to do it either because he is now understaffed in relation to the situation.
Where women are best served is during interrogations at Police Stations and other such work.
You can watch this movie, continue to be a brainwashed individual, no one is stopping you from avoiding reality. people like you put Women in danger by putting them in situations they are not biologically meant to be in, all for an IDEOLOGY.. I don't know if you are a Sadist, or if your only chance for reproduction is to follow the trend. To understand reality doesn't make anyone a Neanderthal just because ideologs have lost all grip on reality.
I like that Harry objected on reasonable grounds. And also that Tyne Dalys character wound up earning his respect and that he gave it once it was earned.

RepresentWV she's has no merit that's the point jackass

Distran The Gloriously Deformed That's not true. Gonzales from the first movie, "Dirty Harry". He lived but quit the Force. Quan, from "The Dead Pool", he also survived and as far as I saw, didn't quit
She has knowledge about laws. She has experience ON the force even if she has no proper field experience. She knows laws and paperwork. Give her some proper training, some proper field experience. THEN she'd make a proper inspector.
At the moment, she has done nothing to prove her actual field worth, no experience. But she's proved her merit by knowing HOW to do field work.
It's not that she has NO merit, it's just that she needs MORE merit, more experience.

Dirty Harry vs DEI The writers of this script had more common sense than most people today.
A scene that becomes more relevant with the passage of time. Just recently the US Army eased physical fitness standards for women, creating a different set for men & women.
Merit takes a backseat in the name of equality, no matter how damaging the consequences.
And in wartime the girls stay home for paperwork, driver duties and making coffee
Yeah and the men can recharge the birthrates of our lost soldiers and breast feed! Wait....Turns out that the male ego might not be able to handle women doing something better than us, so we block them from doing it, and when they start, talk about who awful they are.

Lowering the standards so women can join is ridiculous and dangerous

The point to me is that he's not being sexist; he's not saying she can't do the job because she's a woman. He's saying she can't do it because she's not qualified. This is one of quite a number of things feminists get confused about.
The concept of "qualification" is a non sequitur to a feminazi.

@@saucyangel2644 the sensitive Twitter mob couldn’t cancel Clint Eastwood if they tried
From what I gather, Harry genuinely cares about Officer Moore’s well-being and doesn’t want to see her or her partner get hurt or worse, hence why he keeps asking about her experience and qualifications for the job. The rest of the board only wants to hire her because of her sex and/or race and because it will make them look good for doing so. THAT is the definition of tokenism
Harry's the only interviewer who treated her as a police officer, not as a woman. Even the opening explanation the interviewer gave was demeaning.
And as a result, Harry's the only interviewer in the room who Officer Moore actually respects.
#1 problem today. Company I work for is in dire straits trying to find people who can do the kind of work I do. Sad to see really generations who won't engage.

They're out there. They just have to deal with the systemic prejudice against men telling it as it is.
This is probably my favorite scene in any of the Dirty Harry movies.
Dirty Harty and The French Connection both released during 1971 what a year for movies.
I can't condemn Harry here. I'm retired from 32-years with a Metropolitan Police. Female officers are just as smart, trainable and brave as their male counterparts, and approach the job with the same positive frame of mind. But, there are two critical areas they are seriously lacking.
The first is physical confrontations. I have never seen a female officer able to overcome and control a fighting male suspect ... not nearly, and not even once. Further, it is impossible to train a 5' female to kick a 6' man's ass. You can train her in every fighting art possible for as long as you wish, while training the man to eat marsh mellows on the couch, and the man will win the confrontation in seconds --- it's a factual reality; not the myth promoted by TV and movies where she roundhouse kicks the neighborhood clean of evil. Not only does she risk herself in bad fights, but the well-being of her partner. The second liability is that she can't take punches. Knock a male cop on his ass and he'll dust himself off and stand back up. Punch her in the face and she'll need her jaw wired, teeth fixed, and orbital socket bones surgically reset.
The trend has been moving to the military too, and I suspect the Army and Marines will handle it the same as law enforcement ---- the men will carry the dead weight at their own risk (I'm also a former regular army officer). Females are NOT dead weight by nature; ONLY in those situations where they are not biologically gifted with size, upper body strength and durability. (As a police officer I've often had to do double duty carrying gurneys with patients because the paramedic girls can't lift the weight, but that's another story).
Further most girls --- Tomboys an exception --- don't grow up in a rough and tumble environment. The first serious fight they experience is in uniform and it's an ugly and traumatic experience. And unfortunately, some females actually expect the system, their co-workers and even the criminals to treat them with deference!!! I love women; my mother and my wife are both women! But a woman joining a major police force is like me joining when all the people I meet are over 7-feet tall and weigh 400 pounds.
Finally, even if they didn't know their physical limitations before they joined, they learn that very quickly. And, they compensate by using deadly force with regularity because they have no other alternative. Where a male cop will attempt to overcome a resisting/fighting suspect using only his body; female officers without male backup are more likely to drop back and double-tap the suspect center-mass. Women are a minority on police departments; their numbers just enough to satisfy the feminists and know-nothing social "reformers." But, if the police departments makeup reflected the actual female percentage in the general population, then three of four deadly force incidents would be by female officers.
In fact, relative capability to defend/assault between defender/attacker respectively is a key element in considering whether deadly force was legal. In that sense, a female officer is the most dangerous uniformed person carrying a firearm if your thing is to resist lawful arrest. She can shoot your ass under situations a male officer could not, AND get away with.
The bottom line is this; how much PC is gained by placing men in traditional male roles? How is the public and the department better served? And even if the answers are all good, is it worth the injuries and even lost lives that have resulted? And no, I am not trying to force women off police departments. The program is almost 40-years old and it isn't going anywhere soon. For any officer of any gender, these problems exist in the here and not of reality; not philosophical issues to be discussed over an extra Starbucks at lunch. I've had to call for backup myself, and I wanted 6'4" Officer WIlly Whupass to show up, not 5'2" Sissy Lightweight.
Finally, I cannot argue with anyone who thinks women should be in combat/law enforcement out of a sense of fairness. Because if that is the only consideration, then they are 100% right. But, their concern stops with the hiring process and never considers what happens afterward. Second, anyone who disagrees with the facts I just wrote is a know-nothing fool of the first water.
Actually, they're not right when it comes to fairness. It's not fair, for example, that someone who got terrible grades was admitted to a medical school over someone who got brilliant grades. Likewise, it's not fair that the person who can do the job better (a man) is being passed over for someone who does it worse (a woman).
mnpd3: I wouldn't compare law enforcement to the military though.
Soldiers are trained to kill the enemy. Something that is very easy to do, even for an untrained and unskilled soldier with modern firearms. The goal of all military grade firearms is durability, precision and ease of use, so that you can pretty much put it in the hands of any untrained peasant (man, woman or even a child) and scramble a reasonably effective militia out of a bunch of them in a hurry.
While women are unlikely to be fit for special forces, their general physical shortcomings won't be that much or a drawback for regular infantry work.
Law enforcement is different. Shooting to kill is not the priority but the last resort. Police officers are more expected to take down and restrain suspects to have them stand trial. It requires a lot more physical ability of a person to do this, than it requires to point an assault rifle at the enemy and pull the trigger.
There are also plenty of stellar examples where women who have served have been a huge asset to the war effort. Lyudmilla Pavilchenko for instance is one of the worlds top snipers on record who fought for the Soviets during WWII (she's up there with Simo Häyyhä, Vasilj Zaitsyev in the top ten list of most confirmed battlefield kills).
This is of course no reason to lower the standards in the military during peacetime (an extremely negative development). During peacetime, when defense budgets are at their lowest, you should of course only accept the most well suited applicants.
I'm just saying that you shouldn't just discount women on principle. Let all those who want to try, try it. And wash out those who do not make the cut.
I think you are underestimating the amount of physical and mental labour a soldier has to put into his work in order to achieve results.
For one, the equipment soldiers carry is very heavy. A good number of classes cannot be registered for if you have as little as a lightly hunched back due to the weight you will be carrying.
Additionally, a soldier has to be strong enough to lift and carry other soldiers. A woman will have a lot more issues carrying a male soldier than a man would.
Women can be part of police and military force, but you cannot put them into frontline infantry positions or other positions requiring physical labour. Don't expect your assault team's average performance to stay on the same level it was before women joined. It will drop harshly, guaranteed.
We can overcome the psycological aspect with the right approach to this bloody social stigma that women "should stay at home", but the physiological aspect is down to the individual's build (men included).
There is a place on the front lines for both men and women, but men simply have the physical advantage more often than not. If a female meets the physical standards normally set for male applicants, and she's proven just as mentally and emotionally resilient as her male counterpart, then by all means, let her join the force. There's no good reason to stop her from doing so.
"just as smart, trainable and brave"
REALLY? You do realize that it's A FACT that human males are significantly more intelligent than human females? I
Also just as brave ? really? Did you live on mars or something? I think this got to be the most idiotic thing I have heard since I can't even remember.
"A hell of a price to pay for being stylish."
great line
He's not wrong. every now and again a story breaks about a violent convict that overpowered their female guard and either injured them or escaped into the public, or what's almost worse, were shot or killed by women who weren't strong enough to use nonlethal techniques. If you use officers that lack upper body strength they WILL turn to lethal means of self defense because they lack the ability to defend themselves in any other way.
I don't mean to sound intolerant but the #1 thing I should know about any officer out there in uniform wearing the shield is that they're able to do their job. That applies to petite little 140 pound women, and great fat lazy 400lb sherriffs deputies, neither have a place on the force IMHO

@Nada on paper she sounds like robo cop, but she lacks any field experience required to be bumped up to the lofty position of inspector.
As someone who supports equal rights (or rather opposes illogical b.s.), I think Harry is totally in the right here. What he's worried about is her experience and potential. He doesn't want someone unqualified to become an inspector. And I think he might have been mildly impressed with her knowledge of the law at the end.
Just something to note: promoting her only because she's a woman is the exact same as not letting her even try. Either way it's illogical, and it's b.s.
Yeah, exactly. As another comment said, at the end, when the woman starts to show her extensive knowledge of law and procedure, Callahan is genuinely interested in what she has to say. Whereas the other two were like "Yeah, yeah. You're a woman, you got the job, so we don't care to hear about your skills and knowledge." So they're the real sexist here.
I think his main point was, there are men, who have worked their asses off, in the field, for 10-15 years, that truly deserve the position that she's being put up for, just to be stylish. She clearly doesn't have the experience, and that lack of experience doesn't just possibly get her killed, but her partner too.
Only people that truly are the best for the job, should get the job. Style should never be part of the equation.

Young viewers born in this century might think the Dirty Harry character was being prophetic when this scene was filmed sometime in the 1970s. But when I was in college 50+ years ago studying Spanish, Latino, and French literature I could have predicted "diversity equity and inclusion" politics (which is anything but inclusive) taking over all large cities in the foreseeable future, just based on the flagrant and open political biases of my college Professors. What I did not anticipate as a young college student was that this "DEI" politics would take over not just all cities and most of academia but nearly all the board rooms of corporate giants worldwide.
The rot of DEI is causing most major institutions in the West to crumble.
There is a lot of movie in 4:33! I LOVE the resting his head on the eraser - that is so "I'm in 3rd grade and want recess" the other board members dismissed the candidate and Harry found value. So they all talked a story but walked a different one.

Yes, its called progress. Something America is always behind in.
Progress? You mean replacing a man with almost 30 years of experience dealing with criminals with someone who's never even made an arrest before? Oh, now I feel safer now knowing that she is in his desk and dealing with crime. The fact is America has also been one of the best countries that has the ability to evolve and change in very good ways. Yes, it's true we had no rights for females in this country for a long time, but over time with some actually great, strong, & feminine women that fought together to make an incredible change in this country. The problem is the progressive types that demand that things need to be in place because of quotas or a person sex or race. It used to be that people got promotions based on their experience in the business and learning all they can so that they are ready for this new job. Now, this movie does show that she is very intelligent and later on proves that she has what it takes to be an inspector. Now, replace her with someone who thinks they are ready for this job and has the same experience as her, but doesn't have the spirit that she has for this line of work. So, like Harry says, what will that person do if someone pushes a gun in their face when they are trying to stop a crime. Progress is good, but not when someone has an agenda or quotas to fill that could get other people hurt or even worse killed.
This scene was nearly prophetic with social justice and affirmative action. Placing people that are otherwise unqualified into positions simply because of their sex, religion or other. The world has gone nuts.

Doesn't she save his life later in the movie?
True, Callahan really was a terrible cop if you think about it.
jjs, well guess what? She was quite qualified and should not have been doing desk duty in the first place. She impressed Dirty Harry in her answer to the question.
crabbieappleton Not a chance. We need more like him.
"Alright, I'm standing on a street corner and Mrs. Gray there comes up and propositions me that if I come home with her for five dollars she'll put on a show with a Shetland Pony"
"I just want to know if anyone in this room can tell what crime is being committed, other than cruelty to animals."
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Mizz Gray took quite the fancy to Callahans hypothetical proporsition.
For both genders: If they can handle it, good. If they can't, don't hire them. Same thing for the military.
My sister joined the marines. She was able to do easily the same thing the men were required to do. She still can. There should be no difference in physical requirements for either gender no matter what. Same running ability and strength. No exceptions. Exceptions are how you get a weak military. Should be the same way with a police force.
Thomas Weeden fuck gender
Daniel Walmsley I want to see her on the field under gun fire like every guy, then we will see if the physical requirments are stupid or neccessary
Daniel Walmsley Yes I agree. In the field there are no gender comprimises.
If someone cant handle the standards, physically or mentally, they're better off finding a different profession than being given a free ride to the front lines only to get their head blown off
The problem is that in military and law enforcement, the standards have been lowered so that women can pass with flying colors too. If the standards are raised to a level that pushes men to their physical limits (which they should be, in order to produce an elite force), women CANNOT compete. Period.
The only actual supportive person in the room who isn't sexist, besides the detective candidate, is Harry.
Bikewithlove Yeah it appears the macho men in the comment section don't quite get that..of course equality shouldn't equate equal outcome! Not everyone is suited for high stress jobs, quotations are insane in these cases. When it's about board members? It might be defensible. NOT when people's lives and public safety are on the line.
(I'm a humanist/egalitarian 22 year old woman from Sweden if it matters)
Not really. I just like being truthful.
+Player Taurine
"22 year old woman from *SWEDEN*"
You have my condolences.
Harry isn't trying to get the candidate killed. Putting unqualified officer on the street endangered the candidate and their partner. But being stylish is more important.

Ahmed and Jamal are going to "culturally enrich" her while her boyfriend/husband thanks them and apologizes if she wasn't good enough.
An impact driver not only drives me point home but does so in an impactful manner 😂
I don't know how he can get that vein on his temple to pop out when he's acting angry.. Great talent and it gives the scene(s) a feel of authenticity..
"And That's a Hell of a Price to pay for being Stylish"
The way Clint emphasizes the word "Stylish" with his mouth always cracks me up!
The cruelty to animals when talking about the Shetland pony cracks me up.
His “Stylish” is today’s “Woke”.
@@cyclesmoking Yep. In the 90s it was "Politically Correct".
"Except that out there, you're gonna have a partner; if you get blown away, he gets blown away with you. And that's a hell of a price to pay for being stylish."
Nailed it.
Harry is a little hypocritical with that line he’s gotten at least 100 of his partners killed or damn near killed 😭
Harry didn't have a choice with the partners that he was given, but here, he can try and prevent that.
@@T-800I he has partners before the ones that he did choose that got killed
No, the films show Harry getting assigned partners by the chief, so therefor it's his boss who's making that choice, not Harry, he even says that his partners usually get killed.
@@T-800I that still shows Harry is a bad partner. Not every job you get to pick who you work with so you gotta make adjustments
The law is based on when the officer feels their life threatened. They can draw their firearm to shoot whomever is doing the threatening. Females are more likely and probable to feel their life threatened, especially by larger people, like big huge guys. So when you read articles like 'Cops kills unarmed Black Man' look to see the gender of the officer. Also you won't see many Cops kill unarmed White Man' articles, especially if the cops are black. They won't racialize it until it is a black person. They also will never genderize the article "White Female officer shoots unarmed Black man". That article title will never be written even when in is a fact of the situation about which the article is written.
I work for Asia Pac company as regional HR. Diversity and inclusion was introduced in 1992 from our US HQ. The quota recruitment was introduced and suddenly recruitment selection is no longer on merit, competency and unique talent but gender and skin to meet quota. We at Asia Pac HQ actually stick to our selection and our slogan " may the best candidate win"
Women you can say whatever you want about this comment, but here is my view on this scene.
Harry Callahan probably cared more about that officer than anyone else in that room. When he mentioned that she was going to have a partner, that is when the light finally turned on in her head. Granted he may not have shown it in a way that most of us are used to, but he truly did care about the safety of her well being as well as the officers that were going to be working with her.
The mayor wanted to be trendy without realizing the consequences of putting someone in a position where they have little to no experience. That's piss poor leadership, and the blood of those that get themselves killed will be on the mayor's hands not the sergeants or inspectors that were working with her.
With experience comes rank, with rank comes responsibilities, and with responsibilities comes accountability and reliability. When someone is just thrown into a situation without the proper training, experience, or knowledge, the want, desire, and ambition can be thrown out the window because that person lacks the one thing that is completely necessary.
It is never sexist to care for the wellbeing of another person regardless of race, religion, sex, or age. But when stubbornness and arrogance collides with competence and wisdom, experience will be the deciding factor and those who fail to see the history behind the mistake are condemned to repeat it, or worse.
He is right there he not against women being in police force he against on how stubborn and stupid that they can be they aren't even aware of the dangers of making a arrest or what the cost of losing or putting some one life at risk
TRUTH INDEED
Bravo.
Ben Franklin quote: "experience is the best teacher and a fool learns by no other".
Exactly. This is why I dislike politicians, especially in the western world. They care more about giving virtue signals & being trendy than about the well-being of humanity.
I love the last 15 seconds where you can see Callehan being surprise and starting to take her seriously while the others in the room never did because they only wanted a token.
I feel like Moore evolves through this movie. One of my favorite scenes is when she protects the mayor. She does everything in her power to makes sure the mayor remains calm as she guides him to safety.
Yeah I picked up on that at the end. She knows what she's talking about and Harry is slightly impresssed
InspectorCallahan.
@@glennarcher6 if you have to select from an unfit group without any experience, might as well at least choose the one with the brains….. and besides, she had already proven she had a sense of humor when she was smiling about his jokes about Mrs Gray (and her Shetland pony)….
Callahan took her seriously from the beginning. He took the MIZ Gray and her shetland pony as a joke.
One could I believe successfully argue that Harry Callahan was the feminist... He was the only one looking out for her safety In a dangerous situation
"That sounds very stylish." 😂
He was totally right to ask the questions he did. I wouldn't want an officer helping me in a time of trouble if they had no experience at all out in the field, especially if there's gunfire or a dangerous situation. It wouldn't matter to me if the officer was male or female - just as long as they have experience in times like that and know what they're doing.
If Inspector Callahan, were to ask those questions today. He would be fired for harassing the female officer. Sad times we're in.
I'm surprised with your comment coming from someone like yourself but you're right!
Damn Amber, you are smoking ass 🥵
You can thank whamin for the downfall of society! You're welcome!
Not once was her gender raised by him. It was everyone else in the room focussing on it. He was solely interested in her experience and qualifications alone, for her own safety and well-being as well as the safety of whoever will be partnered with her. Exactly how it should be.
But she doesn't need anyone to worry about her safety a job is a job, her experience and qualifications are looked at when she's interviewed and hired. It is no one's place after that to Question anyone women or men about anything
@@rubeng5316 And that's what happened in the scene.
the questions by Callahan were to ensure safety, all parties safety, not worry about her safety.
@@rubeng5316 Uh...it is 100% his place to question her even after hiring. Because if you're a new enlistee in the Army and you want to go Ranger without being Ranger-qualified, then yes, you will be questioned because you most likely will not know what the fuck you're doing.
It's civilians like you that get people killed.
@@obiwaankenobi4460 Everyone thinks they’re Rambo until they get shot at
That's how it always is. When you bring up a valid point "Oh you are racist" or "you are sexist"
Clint Eastwood is an even bigger hero now than he was in the 1970s 👍
At that time San Fransisco was NOT the "mainstream". It was instead one of the first cities to implement things like this, at the 'forefront of Hope and Change" to use Obama's language. Notice how that woman is acting. She represents real Power, the mayor's office, so she as a woman is not oppressed. She is the Oppressor, and yet, also implies that elected officials can change institutions. If that is the case could not a new political movement today produce mayors that could equally alter the present-day institutions. They could and that is what those who changed these institutions fear.
Mrs. Gray is saying what she calls Sexists are Neanderthals. Really? I know many Woman who are Sexist. They are Neandertals by her logic. Hillary Clinton for example is a Neandertal, so is Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi, all are Neandertals.
What no one else in that room realized was that Harry was genuinely concerned not only for her safety but her partner’s as well. And he’s not about to sugarcoat it.
It’s almost like they were playing a role here. You could even say it was like they were reading an exaggerated, prepared set of lines written to accentuate that exact idea. Crazy that this is a video of an actual promotion board and not a movie…
@@hometownmedic7355 Dear god please go touch grass or something. Yes they are lines but the context of the scene does not change just wow.
Harry Callahan is one of most underrated fictional characters ever created.
He was worried about her because she did in fact end up dying.
Point DH was making, inexperience gets you and your partner killed. Not your gender.
exactly, a lot of the guys here seem to ignore what happened at the end.
Yes, to an extent. Doesn't change the fact that men are biologically stronger than women, mentally and physically. We naturally have more muscle mass and better bone structure for physical stress.
Anyone remember the Rodney King beating? Here's the hidden story behind it: The LA Police Department in 1992 was the only major Police Dept to have met the goal of racial integration to the the courts' orders. they had had a height requirement of 5'10", and they trained applicants in hand to hand combat. but politically correct folks decided that this discriminated agains certain minorities and women, so they lowered the height requirement to 5'2" Needless to say, all kind of women and short men were getting busted up in hand to hand combat with big street toughs. One can imagine the money lost by paying cops for being permanently disabled. So instead of lessening the amount of short cops, they changed policy to eliminate hand to hand combat. Cops were instructed to use their batons only on anyone who didn't comply with an arrest. So the beating you say on Rodney, who had just brought the cops on 100mph car chase came about because they were not allow to subdue him any other way. Two others involved in the chase were handcuffed without incident...Rodney was high on crack or PCP...can't remember which....
Joe Marshall ..facts matter. I think the video speaks for itself. To escape tribalism rewards courage. Reflection is an unceasing censer. Moral authority is often found in the mirror, test ones words there first. if ever still in doubt... just ask .. what Jesus would do?
Jesus would push the reset button because all the people in this world are just that stupid.
He played pretty much the same character in The Rookie, and made the same points too.
He said, having established she had never made an arrest, “why give the promotion to her, when there are guys out there with 15 years’ experience on the street.”
The problem is, all the others heard was “guys” and “her”, but the key phrase is “15 years’ experience on the street.”
I've been a cop for 3 years and I can tell you, I openly and honestly prefer not to work with most women on my shift. There are 5 females on my shift. 3 of them are rude and obnoxious to the male officers and the public, and the other two who are genuinely ncie and pleasent, can't even subdue a 12 year old. Just yesterday I was forced to partner up with a female who is very often in a bad mood and is very unprofessional towards everyone because she can't check her emotiosn at the door. We go to a call regarding a teen off his head on drugs, and when we get him, even though he was distrubing the peace and calling me names (because of course, I, the MALE have to to put and keep hands on him the entire time) she says and does nothing, not caring one bit. She decides herself, without consulting me, that we 're not arresing him and will just drop him off at his mum's house. He's giving me abuse most of the way over and she doesn't give a shit, but as soon as he makes a cheecky comment at her, that's it, he's now under arrest, even though his comment was not profane in any way, ie she arrested him not for the laws he had broken, but because he had annoyed her... When she realises however that we notified out control room that we had picked him up 15 minutes ago to simply transport home and the time of arrest was now a lot later, she knew she would have to justify her action to arrest him in court at that point, rather than when we first found him. Being a coward, she again, for the 3rd fucking time, unilaterally decides that it's now MY arrest, and my paperwork to deal with... I told her flat out, I'm writing in the case that he had broken the law at the time he did and she decided to place him under arrest 15 minutes later and she can explain it in court. I'm not her fucking grease monkey, if she wants to fucking jail people for bullshit, she can tell the court heself, I'm not lying for her.
Sounds like you're on the dog shift, mate. Get the bitchy ones transferred out into separate shifts. You can't fix arrogance.
John Smith You let her call the shots and then whined on the internet about the outcome.
Write her up to your commanding officer.
What a bitch
man thats a shitty work situation when it happens. hope she gets demoted to just doing desk work, dont need people with her coward attitude wearing a badge
Harry spitting facts almost 50 years later.
You better not watch the rest of the movie hahahaha
The actor is anti-gun so eh. Dirty Harry is cool but Clint is a paper tiger.
@@12ealDealOfficial thats a letdown
Clint Eastwood's apart of a Bygone era most ignored by everyone, who considers themselves in the right.
@@12ealDealOfficial Yeah, but there has to be a common sense reason behind it.
Wasn’t arsed about her being a woman, asked about here experience and why she deserves the job against cops with 10 years experience.
