    Imagine getting beat by some local thugs in a town, it’s dark and no one is around expect the people kicking your ass. Then a Cadillac pulls up then Elvis jumps out and starts talking tough to the thugs, then pulls out his badge and says that he’s a secret government agent and then scares the thugs, then they run away. Then Elvis comes over and then gives you a Cadillac and a gun

    Imagine pulling a man over, he rolls down the window, and it’s Elvis. You ask him about his drugs and guns in the back seat, and he pulls out a badge minted by the president SPECIFICALLY for Elvis. You question it and he just pulls out a deputy badge and presents himself as a fellow officer. You’d just give up and leave confused at that point.

One time he stopped on the way back from a concert to stop an petrol attendant being robbed!

Fans even swam in his swimming pool for Graceland, that would never happen now...........RIP Elvis
