That guy looks like he could pack a wallop.

Most days I keep my local police/fire scanner on in the background. I just heard a welfare check dispatched involving a child who had been withdrawn from her elementary school ahead of a move to the other side of the city. Someone at the school -- I don't know if it's a teacher, a principal, or...
