TORCHURE Please explain to me why in ALL American Police, FBI, CIA, CSI & Detective television series and movies members of these forces carry and shine their torches like daggers. Liby Nels husband Nic is the only other person I know who questions this. They bend the elbow upwards and shine the torch as if theyre about to stab the culprit (with the back end of the torch closest to the thumb.) As far as I can determine this is peculiar to only American screen crime fighters. The rest of us carry a torch with an outstretched arm and the back end closest to the little finger. Is it a cultural thing, is it based on actual police methods or is it just like the 555 that start all movie telephone numbers: once it was used it was emulated by all others. Please enLIGHTen me
