Okay..... here is my rant on the word COP or COPS.
I find this term insulting. Derogatory and disrespectful.
To me police officers are either MEMBERS or Police Officers. I do not call them COPS or COP. I have not done so for quite some time now. I have done so prior to being told that members dislike such a term, and have personally been addressed as such by wankers, I have also realized that I despised that term. Like I said it is RUDE, and I consider it derogatory, it's almost like calling a Sergeant "sarge" Now, I'm not slanting our Southern Neighbours, but I have yet to meet a Sergeant in the CF who liked that term, or like to be addressed as such. So... I think I should raise the awareness and inform the fine people on this forum that the majority of members whether they be Federal, Provincial or Municipal do NOT like to be addressed as such.
PLEASE... PLEASE refrain from doing so in the future? Pretty please?
