Cops wit bad badges
from Kendrick Lamar – XXL Cypher Lyrics on Rap Genius
Meaning
Similar to “kids with bad dads”. “Bad badges” meaning that the fact that the cop has a badge is giving said cop a false sense that they have ultimate power and can do whatever. Some examples are: Oscar Grant, Kenneth Harding, the UC Davis pepper-spray incident, etc.
