Term used by police in the UK. A "Hard Stop" is where a suspect is given no pre-warning (no shouting of "Police, stop!" etc) and where the element of surprise gives officers the advantage.
Hard Stops are most commonly used on suspected drug dealers (to prevent them disposing / swallowing the evidence) and suspected armed individuals, to prevent them from opening fire.
"Echo Zulu 714, urgent assistance - possible drug deal in progress on West Street, anyone to backup?"
"Control calling any patrol... 714 requiring assistance on West Street."
"Echo Zulu 21, we're responding - is this a hard stop?"
heart: I'm hard, veiny, and filled with blood. I throb and pulsate too. I usually stop throbbing, when I'm not inside of you. What am I? A heart of course!

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
