Cops tend to think and do things differently from the average, everyday citizen. And their sense-of-humor tends to be different as well. Things that may shock the average person are oftentimes considered hilarious by cops. While many agree that it's just one way of coping with what cops are subjected too on a daily basis, it also makes for some downright funny stories, not to mention cherished memories. The author has taken some of these stories, from two departments located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and compiled them, for posterity, into Behind the Badge.
