Distrust, Disgrace. Disgust. The ultimate humiliation and betrayal of one's badge of honor, boldness and commitment and a uniform that is supposed to be worn smartly, with integrity and the stellar and humane dignity designed to battle terror.

Dade County never worried about you, Officer Cook, nothing God forbid, rogue, corrupt or dishonorable, just a big old smile and enhancement to last forever. That excellent character and conviction has been shielded and taken to a higher heavenly level where you can patrol Our Lord's venues without further harm.
