Re: Officers Ambushed/killed Aftermath
You beat me to posting another video yet again Zero (insert shaking fist), but did a far better and more thorough job than I would have. Although, your title is so respectful and accurate. Too dry. I would have gone with "We Don't Need No Stinking Badges", or perhaps even utilizing that Weird Al treasure "Badgers" variant of the classic Sierra Madran phrase--I've been quite fond of Badgers for going on 4 days now.
