It's a debate if there was more than one guard, that he would have been so eager to attack and take the time out to piston whip them. Incapable in one thing. Overpowered is another. And need to change there procedures, in regards to guarding and securing dangerous prisioners, in the hard lesson learned. And I sure this woman was following orders not giving them, so she did her job.
That the politcally correct solution was not logically correct was made all the more obvious when nineteen court officers were used to escort him to the subsequent arraignment.

The question remains that a physical strength requirement for some jobs has always made sense and was a safety factor. To reduce the standards for the sake of political correctness is often costly.
