Except it was a problem with fitness. Rather then being able to subdue a suspect she needed to rely on a weapon. It isn't a sexism thing you need to have a high standard of fitness to properly enforce the law. If you don't have an option to overpower the suspect you have to rely on tools to close the gap.
If you're operating under the assumption that an officer must be able to "overpower" any potential citizen, you've set an impossible standard for any officer to meet.
Your issue is that she's a woman. Nothing else. Male officers run into circumstances where they can't overpower a suspect all the time as well.
And that's why you're attacking the presence of women in the police force, and not this particular officer's basic failures of procedure and comprehension independent of her gender?
You're avoiding the issue, to use this situation to attack women as a whole.

Because there's always gonna be a bigger person. Unless you're demanding that all officers be literally professional weightlifters who are also multiple-degree black belts, there's always gonna be people who are bigger or better-trained.
So you didn't actually watch the video then.
She wasn't the one cuffing the suspect, if you watched her body-cam video she was standing by. She attempted to help the officer cuffing the suspect pull the guy out of the vehicle when he attempted to flee, which is when she drew her service weapon.
Man, I swear this one is just bringing all the "Women are weak and shouldn't do man jobs" sexists out.
She couldn’t tell the difference between 31 ounce and an 8 once weapon... and you think the issue is fitness?
I don’t know man... I think if she were weaker, this wouldn’t happen... since she would be able to tell the difference between a weapon that weighs nearly 4 times more...

Rather laughable in a thread where it took 4 male cops to hold down (and kill) Floyd people are arguing that woman can’t be cops because they can’t over power any and everyone.

You're completely overlooking what lead to failure. Her apparent inability to tell the difference between her gun and her taser. Despite the facts that the taser is holstered on the opposite side of her body as her gun, is brightly coloured and weighs a quarter as much as the gun. Her physical fitness is not the issue here.

They'll use any excuse they can to deflect away from systemic racism and police brutality. Getting to push a sexist agenda is just a bonus for them.
