Cops drive with pigs on their cars

This is a story I have been wanting to write for a while, but other stuff seem to take priority. To me it is hilarious.

Inmates at Northwest State's Correction Facility in Vermont, had the brilliance to sneak an image of a pig into the Vermont State Police's decals, that was being made at the facility. This was an obvious reference to the derogatory nickname many people give the police. (Pigs for those who are not with it) The proper sign is not very wow either- a spotted cow against the backdrop of a snowy mountain with three mushroom objects to the left of the viewer.  It was one of the spots on the cow that took the shape of the offensive barnyard animal.

These police  crests adorned 30 police cruisers (In all 60 decals,16 inch in size, were plastered on the doors of the police vehicles)- for the past year. Well, until the porker spot was 'spotted' by a police employee, earlier in February 2012.
It appears that an inmate at St Alban prison's print shop, altered the image from a normal spot to the piggie on a computer back in 2008. The orders for new decals came in 2009. They were made with the new design.


Many people have seen the humour in this, except for the Fuzz. Police spokesperson, Stephanie Dasaro, said it dishonoured the memory of members of the pig force, specifically those who have perished. She did not get the joke.
Police Major Bill Sheets, bemoaned the costs to the tax payers. Plainly, he also did not get the humour in this prank. (Apparently the new decals cost around $780- a bit steep if you ask me)
An investigation is underway (surprise) to see where and who altered the image. An investigation should also be underway to identify the three mushroom type objects on the decals in my opinion.
