Baggot

Baggot is an Irish name. It was given to the toughest police officer in town. What would happen if a teenager was arrested he got a onetime get out of jail free card. If he said my dad is a cop the police were supposed to bring the kid to his father’s house and the father was supposed to beat the kid until the police said it was enough. This was supposed to be a onetime thing only for teenagers. They would do this even if the father wasn’t a police officer. For kids whose dads were in jail or were dead they would say, "I am Mr. Baggot's friend." The police brought the kid to Mr. Baggot’s house. He would beat the kid up until the police said he had enough. The name would usually be given to the toughest police office but was often given to a civilian. If Mr. Baggot was a police officer who made it to the age of retirement without losing a fight he would keep it as his family name.
