The Shield

There isn't much to say. I don't even have to frame this one in a sarcastic light. No set up needed on my part. I could have just posted the headline and called it a good post.

St. Louis Police Chief Wears $5,900 Badge(slp)

Not only did the chief need a $6,000 badge adorning his chest, but the five officers under him got badges at a cost of $1,987 EACH. The rest of the cops' badges cost about $19.87.

If you ever were to accidentally kill a high ranking cop in St. Louis, its probably worth your time to steal his badge and sell it as scrap gold...
