    This is pretty common. I used to watch a show called American Greed on CNBC, and what blew me away is how many officers would show up to arrest these people. There would be like 90 dudes just to arrest one wall street dickhead, it's crazy.

      does the police have participation ribbons like the military does where if you show up, no matter how fuck all you do, you get some kinda thing on your uniform or résumé?
