    Now I will use these!!! Don't forget HUA. Head up a**

    Cop “Rule of Donut Hole” - back off until you can see the entire scene through the hole in your donut. If you keep having to brush powdered sugar off your uniform shirt, move upwind. You always have a donut with you, or you can buy a pack of 6 training aids at the gas station for $1.99.

    "Copological indicators" (be careful how you spell that):
    1) Cop still standing/stripe on uniform pants still vertical = scene is non-toxic.
    2) Cop car still running = scene is not oxygen deficient.
    3) Paint/decals still on cop car = material is non-corrosive.
    4) Cop car is not glowing = material is non-radioactive.
    5) Cop igniting road flares = material is non-flammable/non-explosive.
    6) Cop unconscious/stripe on uniform pants is horizontal = don SCBA & stage 100 yards upwind.
