After the war, Badger settled in New Orleans, where he was appointed as a clerk inthe 4th District Recorders Court. About 1868, he joined the New Orleans Police Department and was promoted in 1879 to superintendent of the force. On September 14, 1874, Badger was seriously wounded in the Battle of Liberty Place] an insurrection by 5,000 members of the paramilitary White League, who fought against the police and took over state buildings in an attempt to seat John McEnery, the [[DemocraticParty|Democrat]] [[Governor|gubernatorial]] nominee in the disputed 1872 election. The White League outnumbered and outgunned the Metropolitans, holding the buildings for three days, and retreating before the arrival of federal forces. Nearly 60 people were killed in the fighting. No charges were filed against any insurgents.<ref name="findarticles1993">Adolph Reed, Jr., "The battle of Liberty Monument - New Orleans, Louisiana white supremacist statue," ''The Progressive,'' June 1993, accessed May 18, 2010.</ref>
