The Power of the Badge...
DEA agent stops at a ranch in Texas , and talks with an old Rancher. He tells the Rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The Rancher says, "Okay, but do not go in that field over there," as he points out the location.
The DEA agent verbally explodes saying, " Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me." Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the Rancher. "See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... on any land. No questions asked and no answers given. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand me?"
The Rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.
A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the agent running for his life chased by the Rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull!!!
With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he'll get gored before he can reach safety. The officer is clearly terrified. The Rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
"Give this to, uh, Clemenza. I want reliable people, people who aren't going to be carried away. After all we're not murderers in spite of what this undertaker thinks."

"Your badge... show him your BADGE !!!"
That says it all, right there.
We need another emoticon. A bull stamping in the dust, about to charge.
