I usually don't post something like this, but this one has been bothering me a lot.

Our Los Angeles Chief of Police has stated that all metal flashlights that the police carry will now be replaced with plastic flashlights.

If you have read the news, a suspect was beaten by a policeman with a metal flashlight.

So apparently grown men or women cannot be trusted to carry a metal flashlight in our police department.

Now is it me or is something very fundamentally wrong here?
