This is terrible, of course. Goes without saying. But what really interests me that police officers are complaining about not having enough of these cards to give out as Christmas presents. Complaining in public, in the clear light of day!

That actually worries me more than the cards themselves in some respects, because it means that the average officer's perception of what is fair is utterly, entirely out of whack with reality. It's one, corrupt, thing for these cards to exist under the radar as a means for officers to benefit, but it's another to not even see why people would be offended by it.
