My tattoos, like most people's, were reminders, badges of personal experiences. Yes, I might wear them on my skin for the world to see, but their meaning was a little too personal.

Most undercover cops are vastly skilled at compartmentalization. It is a talent as valued as lying. They seal off their real feelings and create imitation emotions. Easily torn down when it's time to show the badge, drag someone downtown, and sit across from him in an interrogation cell and tell him how fucked he is now.

What most people see is a badge, behind and beyond the badge is what they need to know...the person.

The most dangerous thing in life is an incompetent that has been given a gun and a law enforcement badge.

Rejection is no badge of honour.

Heroes don't always have capes, badges or uniforms. Sometimes, they support those who do.
