This week, a couple stories that should cause anyone critically thinking to see that those wearing badges aren't always operating with the best intentions.

Story #1Former Iowa Police Officer Gets Probationhttp://www.kwwl.com/story/21653757/former-iowa-police-officer-gets-probation

Story #2Former Portsmouth Deputy Gets Two Years in Sex Casehttp://hamptonroads.com/2013/03/former-portsmouth-deputy-gets-2-years-sex-case

Story #3Terrell Garrett Lake Shore Drive Crash: Suburban Cop Bail Set At $500,000 Bond In Deadly Collisionhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/17/terrell-garrett-lake-shor_n_2895943.html

I hope you'll take a moment to consider just what it is that you are paying for via taxation - and speak out against the violence.Until next week, stay safe and remember that badges don't grant extra rights.
