    Also, stop calling them cops

    This “cop” word has this cool power connotation

    Call them police officer, that is what they are

      Subjective. I don’t find the word cop all that cool, and nowadays it gives me a negative impression. Police Officer sounds just like a formal title, like Representative, Principal, Judge, etc.

      Police Officer gives them an air of professionalism they don’t deserve in most cases. Nobody says ‘cops’ who are also happy to see them.

        No

        Police officer is what they should be, what we should aspire them to be.

        I don’t need a Hollywood pew pew type that calls himself “cop”
