    The police broke the window of a car that was getting warmer and warmer with a toddler inside

    The mom was the one who called them, because she locked herself out of her own car. Which, fair enough, that happens.

    But am I wrong for thinking that lady, you're kinda useless aren't you

    break the window yourself. Or, call a locksmith, ask how fast they can come, if not fast enough, break a window.

    Depending on how quickly that cell formed and what direction it is traveling (no compass on the screen so I do not know where the storm is located), it is possible the pilot would not have had confidence in making a sharp right at the point they began evasive maneuvers. They were able to give it a wider berth doing the loop.

    edit: also, fuel considerations. Depending on the length of the cell, they may have had to ride "northeast" for a significant amount of time, rerouting them to a different airport (or the open sea, depending again on location).

    Is actually masterful.

    I don't know if police here have slim jims in their cars. I doubt it, really.

    But anyway, modern car, so probably not that easy.

    This is lost on Americans as they moved out of low maintenance areas

    Or more specifically, the marketing departments who made money plugging grass

    The whole lawn thing is so annoying to me. We somehow want our homes to look like English manor houses of a couple centuries ago while ignoring the fact that the look is because they kept sheep, to make money, and didn't do it to make it look cool.

    Yeah but around the manor the sheep were primarily kept to maintain the grounds and not the other way around.

    Car windows are designed to break. Specifically in a way that avoids large shards of glass. Hit it with a stone or something. The police doesn't have magical car window smashers. They're still just breaking the window.

    EDIT: But flinging bricks into the car is an option too if you think your kid can take it :P

    Eh. I'd say as we go forward in time that becomes more and more true. Though if you take "couple" literally as 2 we'd be firmly into that transition sure. I was really using it more like "a few" and at 3 or 4 the money from the wool was still significant. Especially since it was essentially free to the owners of those manors.

    I was accidentally locked into my mum's car once when I was a wee nipper. And then a gentleman came over and told my mum, who was in some distress, "please don't tell anyone about this", and produced a little bit of tape from his wallet, and slipped it down through the window crack, got it stuck to the little stick you used to pull upwards to open doors, and opened the door for her.

    This was way back when dinosaurs still walked the earth, and probably wouldn't work nowadays (I think that's why the 'locked' state of those sticks is now burrowed inside their cavity, for example).

    cops are actually trained in the specific scenario of smashing car windows, they have the tools and experience

    they could do it more safely than the average person on the street

    besides, smashing a car window in the middle of the street even if it's your car will have a high likleyhood of the cops showing up anyway

    Morning [chat]. Was feeling pretty groggy and sore and stiff from class last night but when I was about to head out for work my wife calls me excitedly to come into the kitchen. Go out and see a parade of ducks going along the road and our front yard so we took a few minutes to feed them some bread. My beagle of course wasn't overly happy to watch them out the front door but she was inside and the ducks thankfully couldn't see her.
