So what if we pay taxes which pay their wages. You work for someone or own your own business, if someone came in and walked all over you and causing shit "because they're paying your wage", would you take it, smile and reply "yes sir, can I have some more?" I don't think so.
Plain and simple. That w@nker "take off your badge and gun" hero was out of line. Roy's right, that badge is the only thing stopping that guy from a few missing teeth.
