Yesterday's blog brought remembrance of more slick stuff by the NPD cops. Dave Dampier recalled when we wore synthetic fabric uniform pants, that had no traction in the rear quarters, and all the patrol car seats were vinyl. You had to make sure your seat belt was buckled or braking put you into the windshield.
To make matters worse, some joker sprayed the vinyl seat of one officer's cruiser with silicone. When he slid in, he, literally, slid to the passenger's seat.
Chester Keene remembers when the rear seat in the cruisers were replaced with fiberglass models, to hold down the wear and tear by unruly arrestees. For those, taken into custody, who demonstrated they were true A-holes, a dose of silicone was applied to the seat, making the prisoner a ping-pong ball at every stop, start, and corner.
This calls to mind the old platitude: When you get in a peeing contest make sure it ain't with a skunk.
