            Out on a prisoner transport, Chief Rick Hollo would unpack a special “softener device.” The softener device was something he had made himself, in his detached garage, late one night while his wife was on the rag. The softener device consisted of a length of radiator hose, about eighteen inches in length. Both ends were heat pinched, and looked like flat, malformed black spoons. Inside the length of radiator hose, Chief Rick Hollo had poured a column of sand. The softener device was not standard police issue. Chief Rick Hollo, as a police chief in a post 9-11 world, needed to employ special weapons from time to time. As a police chief in a post 9-11 world those times for special weapons were at his discretion.
