Honestly, not too much, but they both possess a lot of bling blingApparently, the St. Louis police chief is sporting a $5,900 gold plated badge on his uniform, and his posse (top cops) are wearing $1,987 badges. The news of these superfluously ostentatious badges has spread all around the country — even people in big-government Boston are shaking their heads.
