The badge gang may wear their surnames on their chests, or, at least, they used to. But woe unto anyone who dares take their picture in the, cough, performance of their duties. (Much less the consumption of their donuts.)
Fortunately there are lots of out-of-work lawyers these days just waiting to sue, and more and more precedent cases. The gang is especially touchy on this one because they’re losing.

When it comes to the growing arrogance of the badge gang, it would be hard to beat your local team of deputy sheriffs—these are the folks who run your county jail, where you’re liable to wind up if you’re arrested for anything.
They are the least educated, the least sophisticated, and, in my experience as a former cop reporter, certainly the most inhumane. But this is disgusting. I hope the bastards who pulled this stunt at least got fired. Ought to jail ’em all, including the sheriff who hired ’em.

Much as I dislike the new militarization of the police, with their black SS uniforms and automatic rifles and flash-bang grenades, especially when their SWAT teams charge through some ordinary person’s front door without so much as a by-your-leave, I have to applaud this idea.
It’s got the stupid armored personnel carriers beat. It might even be useful for stealthy following of fleeing suspects in their cars, cutting down on the number of bystanders killed in high-speed chases by the Houston badge gang without flashing lights or sirens.
There is the reasonable worry, however, that the gang will escalate and arm these things.
