I am probably being a bit hastey here seeing I am not a sworn officer, but I plan to be some day. When I get my badge, I want it to mean something, and this is why I am upset.
I got onto a bus the other day and realized that every bus driver employed by the Milwaukee County Transit System now carries a badge.
Then I went into Best Buy and noticed that some people working there, not even security, had badges. The Geek Squad I think.
But anyways, the point of this little rant is, Didn't it at one time mean something to carry a badge? Now it seems like everyone and their mother are carrying badges for rediculis reasons.
Can anyone else think of other iligitment badge usage?
Does this upset sworn officers as much as it does me, or am I just getting all worked up over something stupid?
