Hmm, a “certain technique”! Reminds me of Dinah-Moe Humm.

I knew that you would know that one 🙂
Ah, the “garbage rod”… although Vasily Zaitsev could do something with it.
One problem I can see with carrying so many different items on one’s duty belt is that, in a physical altercation, it is hard to control access to all of them. And the baton is usually not in some form of locking retention device.
And I see that AW1Ed is trolling Farmgirl again, making her breath hard over that beauty.
