Chester Co DA ME2 Pipeline “Buy a Badge” Case Gets Jury Trial

This is so tiresome. The Chester County District Attorney's office continues to persecute two lowly Pennsylvania Constables for doing their job in warning off crazy anti-fossil fuel fanatics who approached a construction site for the Mariner East 2 pipeline project. The DA's office thought it could fool everyone with a catchy slogan, calling what the constables did a "buy a badge scheme." What it was, was two guys working for near minimum wage who happen to have a badge, using that badge to keep people from hurting themselves. And for that, they're being prosecuted by the Chester DA. Shameful. The case is being tried before a jury right now.
