I agree there are different hydrant tops but most my city are square., but we kept different size scanners it wasn’t like there were infinite sizes.

Spanner wrenches are also used in optical work.

I concur with your questions,
What was this all really about?
Not suggesting that “whatever” the issue justifies the attack and the departments odd reaction.
But, the story is just bizarre without context.
Typical modern “journalism”.

I believe that term is used in the steel work industry.

British usage, like calling a car hood a “bonnet” . . . .

And the trunk is the "boot".

I blame Dire Straits

I scanned all responses before I made the Dire Straits reference...thanks!

Industrial Disease...great song.

You get caught using a pipe wrench on a hydrant it’s a $500 fine.

It is clear that the attacker (Robert Muhammad) is being treated with kid gloves because of his enhanced melanin.

Nope. It's the surname.

This DEI hire who attacked his colleague clearly has anger management and violence issues but is being shielded

He's been with the department for 20 years, so not a DEI hire—it wasn't in use then. But DEI most probably figures into this criminal's retention.

[ViLaLuz]

Sounds like aggravated assault.
