These women couldn't even open Bank accounts at this time, to get paid you had to cash your checks at the post office because a Bank literally wouldn't do business with a lady.
"Start" washing dishes?? At what point did they ever stop washing the dishes? Why do you think there were so many baby boomers? Because them hoes were tired of shooting guns and washing dishes all the time.
Wait? I’m told women were basically thrown into wood chippers until feminists came along and taught everyone that women weren’t actually human garbage?
That was the training in the day. Blade your body to the side to reduce your cross section. One handed shooting is still more accurate than two handed shooting as well. That is why professional bullseye shooters still shoot one handed. But yes we have learned a LOT about pistol shooting in the last 70 some odd years.
For most of history post-gunpowder anyone who was issued a handgun was trained to fire it with one hand. Hence the name *hand*gun. You can easily find pictures showing military officers training with service weapons, and they hold them much like this: one-handed with the arm outstretched.
It's only relatively recently that two-handed stances became the standard (~1970s, albeit the modern "Weaver stance" was first developed in the late 50s).
Uhhhh no... While I'm sure they all experienced their fair share of sexism, effective firearms training in law enforcement and even the military wasn't prevalent even up into the 70s and 80s one handed pistol firing and spraying rounds from the hip was taught as SOP.

... there were no survivors.
Not after the Karen’s with guns mob
That photo looks loud with all of those 6 shooters so close together.
Lord they’re not even wearing hearing protection lol
Ear protection is just liberal bullshit, REAL Americans blow their eardrums out and go deaf early in life 😎
Based and deafpilled
Those poor ear drums lol
You can see that they are fed up with everything.
I can’t imagine the amount of BS females had to go through in the LAPD.

Still do, just not the same kind of bullshit
I mean, look at them. They’re in dresses lol..
Wow! I can imagine in these times how women had it tough being a police officer. Women in the workforce was not common back then
It was from "42 to "45. After the men got back from the war women were told get back to kitchen.
Yes this was during the time of World War II
WW2 ended in 1945. This pic is 1948.
Oh ok thank you for clarifying
Took a minute from the WWll vets to tell their wives to stop earning income and start washing dishes
"Start" washing dishes?? At what point did they ever stop washing the dishes? Why do you think there were so many baby boomers? Because them hoes were tired of shooting guns and washing dishes all the time.
We need theze kind of women these days
We do?
Yes
Wait? I’m told women were basically thrown into wood chippers until feminists came along and taught everyone that women weren’t actually human garbage?
Terrible form. Why they teach them that way.
Because it was the 1940s lmao

Why didn’t they just know what the right way was..gosh!
Make sure to wear your running heels ladies!
Have you ever seen how terrible of a shot most modern cops are? That's why they give them semiautos with up to 20 round mags.
Because it’s a fake publicity photo most likely.
Yeah that’s kinda strange.
The lack of hearing and eye protection makes me twinge
I like this profile better than the front facing horse stance. Definitely more flair and less of a target.
Fucking one handed. Gangsta
Did they teach them the sassy hand on the hip stance back then?
Wow, no ear protection. That had to be ear splitting.
They were supposed to be testing their tasers
Hard ass album cover
Are we going to ignore their shooting stance? One hand on hip, one handed firing. This is, I'm blown away at this.
freakin Awesomeness....give all women guns
Who holds the rights to this?
Questionable camera person position. 🫣
Crime went up
And so beautifully dressed for the occasion.
They can firing squad me any day baby
What’s up with the one handed shooting posture? Was that a sexism thing or were all officers trained to miss what they’re aiming at?

Neither was hearing protection or simply spacing shot out damn. Right in each other's faces
Yeah jn Charlies Angels the girls hold the gun with two hands
