Earl propably won't be reading this (I'm so told that I'm in his kf),
but I'd like to point out to everybody else that this stupid netcop
doesn't know $#!+ about basic high school physics. He makes reference
to c.o.f. as "the c.o.f. of dry asphalt, or wet asphalt". Are you
scared that we let such LEOs investigate accidents, do high speed
chases, and uphold our laws? Don't you think a cop's training needs
a basic course of physics?
