The Power of a Badge.....

The Power of a Badge.....

DEA officer 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 officer verbally explodes, saying, " Mister, I have the
authority of the Federal Government with me." Reaching into his
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. Have I made myself
clear? Do you understand? "

The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees
the DEA officer 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 reaches safety. The
officer is clearly terrified. The rancher throws down his tools,
runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....

"Your badge.....Show him your BADGE!"
