Watching this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWF3Ddr7vdc&feature=player_embedded ) offers a glimpse into the psyche of at least one cop.

Note the nightstick on the cop's hip as he comes into frame at the 45 second mark. The handle on that thing closely (much too closely, methinks) resembles something one would find at a fetish shop.

Is someone overcompensating?
