No, Lt. Vance, you are NOT the master of the citizens,

and that you think you are means you should have that badge taken away from you.
Later, after Ashley said Lt. Vance works for the people of the state, he informed her that he, in fact, is her master.

"You're the servant, we're the master," she said.

"I'm the master, ma'am. I'm the master," he said in response.
 Put this bluntly: Fuck you, Vance, you sorry tyrant wannabe.  Or do you just want to be head officer of the CT Stasi when they rename it?
