>>It amazes me that these people know EVERYTHING, down to the chemical structure and nature of yacht varnish or elephant hair carbon content. AND they still go out on arrests AND, despite their vast knowlege, obvious high education, qualifications, and non-expendability, they're first in the house searches, sometimes unvested, in front of the helmeted SWAT members whose speciality THIS IS! What heroes!!!
