Great line. Wonder if he'd use that one in court.
When I lived in Tennessee, I had to go up into the mountains and work a varsity boys basketball game.
After a few unpopular calls, some idiot in the corner starts threatening me every time down the floor. Finally, I stop the game and tell game management to get the idiot out of there.
Turns out he was a deputy sheriff and brother of the sheriff, or something like that.
The guy left, but they BOTH came back afterwards in a private car with the sheriff now in civilian clothes. They tailgated me all the way across the county line -- I wasn't stopping until I got to a police station back home.
You know you're dealing with a special brand of idiot when the guy pulls his badge on the field , like it gives him some kind of extra authority during the game. If he pulled his badge on me, we'd be marching off 30 and he'd be walking away.
