Vermont Prison Inmate Secretly Puts Pig on Police Car Decal
A prison inmate, who makes stationery and license plates, added a tiny image of what appears to be pig onto a 16-inch decal, which is affixed to Vermont State police cars.
On the decal, there is a cow, and one of the spots on a cow there is the shape of a pig, a slur used for police, reports The Daily Mail.
Andy Pallito, the commissioner of the Department of Corrections, said officials are looking into who made the change, which was added to about 30 police cars (60 decals in total) over the past year.
According to the Times-Union, a Vermont state trooper discovered the pig while inspecting his vehicle on Wednesday.
Pallito said that new police car decals will be made by next week at a cost of $780.
State police Maj. Bill Sheets added: "While some may find humor in the decal modifications, the joke unfortunately comes at the expense of the taxpayers."

"While some may find humor in the decal modifications, the joke unfortunately comes at the expense of the taxpayers."
Yeah, because when budgets are getting cut left and right, replacing decals on patrol cars must be super high on the priority list.

Wouldn't it be more accurate
Wouldn't it be more accurate if it had been done to the NYPD, in light of their behavior over the Occupy movement? Particularly since state troopers spend the vast majority of their work on traffic, rather than other LE activities.
The insanity principle is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. The far right, the far left, vegans, creationists and other extremists believe in the insanity principle, religiously.
Good thinking, but the inmate
Good thinking, but the inmate had to work with what he had. I think the meme of Lt. John Pike has accomplished much more, anyway.
I still think it's creative
I still think it's creative and funny. And I don't mean any offense to their police department or any others...but can't we lighten up a little and take a joke?
Many can take a joke but not
Many can take a joke but not the right wing nuts. Their confidence in their beliefs is so shaky it can't stand any disparagement, even in fun.
Now, how do you know that
Now, how do you know that "right wing nuts" are responsible, and why is it necessary to start name-calling?
It isn't name-calling if it's
It isn't name-calling if it's true. Are you saying that people like Rick Santorum and Michelle Bachmann are not right-wing nuts?
I didn't say they were responsible for anything in particular. I said they have no sense of humor about their cherished beliefs. That's not an insult or name-calling, it's a statement of observed facts.
What does this have to do
What does this have to do with the pig decals on the Vermont police cars?
YOU accused me on
YOU accused me on "name-calling" when all I was doing was stating obvious facts. Well, obvious to those of a rational mind.
Ok, let's draw your
Ok, let's draw your connection then - are you saying that since someone is offended and replacing the pig decal, they obviously are right-wing nuts who can't take a joke?
No, that's the conclusion you
No, that's the conclusion you assign to a general statement. I said that right wing-nuts cannot stand any criticism or negative remarks about their beliefs. That doesn't say that everyone with a conservative political position is a nut. I am very conservative on many issues myself but progressive on others.
I have been told (as a joke, I hope) that, in a room full of Democrats, Republicans, and Libertarians, I could soon have all of them angry at me. :D
Of course it must be
Of course it must be replaced. Public officials, including the police, like to dish it out, but cannot take even the least criticism. In that way, they are a lot like religions.
Personally, I think it was
Personally, I think it was rather clever. I might not have ever seen it had I not been looking for it.
It doesn't have to come at
It doesn't have to come at the expense of the taxpayers - is this really so heinous that they must be replaced immediately?
What, you thought the
What, you thought the righties supported reductions in ALL government spending, as opposed to just the spending that doesn't directly benefit them and their establishments?
Silly.
What most people do not know
What most people do not know is that, WW II excepted, the size and expense of the government has risen more under Republican administrations than under Democratic ones. "Smaller government" party, my eyes.
