It is a good thing that the guitar strings were not in her possession when she did the take-down.
Guitar strings (especially the Low E String) can be used for garroting and are a deadly weapon.
There should be a law against possession and carrying concealed Guitar strings on one’s person, and they should be kept OUT of the reach of children.
Even worse, and much more deadly, are those expensive BASS Strings. These should only be sold to licensed bass players.
Strings for acoustic stand-up basses are military-grade assault strings and should be outlawed completely./s
Anyone else got that part from “Little Old Lady From Pasadena” running through their head now?
“Go Granny, go Granny, go Granny, go!”

Cobb said Powell’s help is not going unnoticed within the department, but he encouraged other citizens to refrain from helping officers catch criminals.
“We appreciate the assistance, but we don’t want to have people get involved because they can get hurt,” he said.
So much for the police being the public and the public being the police,the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
I do wish that the modern police would stop discouraging members of the public from getting involved if they want to. Civic responsibility should be encouraged.
