DEA oversteps it's bounds.

A DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas and talks with an old rancher.

"I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs."

The rancher says: "OK, but don't go into that field over there." as he points to a nearby field.

The DEA officer verbally explodes saying
"Mister, I have the authority of the federal government with me"

Reaching into his rear pants pocket he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the rancher.
"See this badge?.This badge means I'm allowed to go wherever I wish...On any land...No questions asked or answers given...Have I made myself clear?"

The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life chased by the rancher's very large bull.
With every step, the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he will get gored before he reaches safety.
The officer is clearly terrified.

The rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells:
"Your badge! Show him your badge!"
