I probably would have ignored them when I was a teen. Lt. Col. Patton - OTOH - could chew your ass up one side and down the other in creative ways that would make Sgt. R. Lee Ermey look like he wasn't even trying.

The HS I went to didn't have "school resource officers". We had Lt. Col. Patton and he did not fuck around at all. He retired before I graduated ... which was long before you were born.

Your husband is a smart man. The campus cops where I went weren't really able to or allowed to do much more than have your car towed. They weren't even allowed to issue parking tickets. EDIT: Most of the ones I talked to knew they were a joke collecting a paycheque. The most exciting part of...

Most people will be deer-in-headlights "I don't know what to do" when faced with an extremely high-stress emergency for the first time. This does not excuse the fuck-ups in any way. It just makes them worse because we know that'll happen. "Hindsight is 20/20 and I wear glasses." - Kouta Morimura

"Just following orders" didn't work for Henry Wirz in 1865. It also didn't work for the Nazi and Imperial Japanese officers executed after WWII. It shouldn't work J. Random American Cop today. Qualified Immunity needs to either completely go or be much better defined. Telling a panhandler that...

And more ... Physically preventing someone from assisting a casualty is Assault and Battery at a minimum. An angry prosecutor could have such an absolute field day with long lists of charges that a judge might say - in private - "You could have added more."

When something goes wrong that you're a part of the first question you should ask yourself is "Where did I fuck this up?" so that the same mistake doesn't happen again.

Frequency hopping fails when both sides of the message aren't using the same frequencies.

My car's sterio set and ignition circuit are protected by 100 amp fuses. When I jump-start someone's car I go positive-positive-negative-ground and use the radio circuit if I can because I am not going to risk burning out a 100 amp ignition circuit unless my other option is a 911 phone call.

My car's radio has over a dozen buttons, two dials, dolby surround sound, a CD player, and a cassette deck. It's over 20yrs old and can be programmed for eighteen different radio stations. You aren't sending an AM or FM radio message within 50 miles of my car without someone detecting it and...

A Piper J-2 Cub is useless for practically anything but taking a passenger and a duffle bag on a short trip from point A to point B. That didn't stop the Army from turning some them into tank-busting close air support during WWII.

We're getting off topic ... NASA used fuel cells for the moon missions because they didn't have solar panels capable of providing enough power.

Yes, H2 can be liberated from water without a whole lot of effort. Actually storing it so you can use it as a fuel is a bitch-and-a-half. Liquid hydrogen boils at -423°F and leaks through goddamn fucking everything.

You and @Bacle are both wrong. Fuel cells don't run on water. H2O is the waste product.

The internet has lots of theories. Most of them are complete nonsense.

Were they too stupid or scared to try using the door handle? Heck, I can open most locked doors I don't have the key for in a few seconds - by breaking the lock - because a pair of vise-grips is a part of my engineering toolkit.
