A Badge is not a license to kill, maim, or otherwise harass citizens.

I was born in Rochester NY.  It's the 3rd largest city in New York, and parts of it are as gritty and forbidding as some of the streets of New York City.  It used to be a thriving city, with Xerox and Kodak as major employers.  Kodak's photo business has collapsed, and Xerox has been downsizing for years.  I don't have many ties to Rochester anymore, but an item popped up that I had to share. A white police officer shot a black man : "Silvon Simmons was shot three times in an upstate New York city. Then he was accused of trying to kill the cop who fired at him.

So look out, Oreos.  Your rainbow cookies may cause some damage overall to your corporate overlords.  As for me, I'm going to get some Oreos.  Lots of them.
