"Counselors on Patrol" It won't be long defore LEOs are disarmed completely!. Perhaps Cop will come to mean, "Community Organizer on Patrol" thus making you a Coop rather than a Cop,! http://www.breitbart.com/big-governm...le-for-police/

Sine the term "cop" is a pejorative anyway what does it matter how it is redefined? -
The article was about recalling military type weaponry from LEOs. The justification is to increase the view of the public so they don't see the police s as some type of military presence against the citiizenry. I don't buy it. Why? The diiference between a LEO and a Soldier is vast. A Police officer protects citizens from others who would break the law. Soldiers protect our Country from those who are deemed enemies. They do not know the law. They only know the bad guys to be those their superiors deem bad. Theirs rifles can be pointed at so called enemies both foreign and domestic. Police know who the bad guys are because of law. They understand the Spirit of the law Ultimately, I would place my bets on a well regulated militia as those being police officers before those who are in the armed forcesare. God bless our soldiers for what they do, and god damn our politicians for taking us where we are headed.Last edited by wisardd1; 05-18-2015, 5:05 PM.Comment

The "Cops" circumstance is very similar to that of a soldier. Very different jobs but similar terms; "Get the job done, we just don't want to see or hear about how you do it."Knives don't stab people, cars don't drive drunk, eating utensils don't make you fat and pencils don't mis-spell words.Comment

Agreed, but the Cop knows the truth whereas the Soldier is too often lied too!Comment

It is perfectly logical for people sitting on their La-Z-Boy with a 64oz soda and family sized bag of Doritos in their lap to decide what tools LE officers need to have when they go into harm's way.Comment

And yet, it is in total suppot of LEO'S as the good guys. The best of the best. Perhaps I am wrong, maybe the Police are also suseptable to following leaders regardless of the Sprit of the law, But I doubt it. Soldiers have followed the politics of who is bad from the beginning of time.Comment

This country is headed in a very sad and dark direction. Reward the bad guys and punish the good guys. Instead of taking tools away from the police, maybe invest in education and teach people not to be criminal low lifes..........but that's just my opinion..........the idea of a criminal victim is asinine to me.Comment

Orgin of COP
The police-specific use of "cop" made its way into the English language in far more languid fashion.
"Cop" has long existed as a verb meaning "to take or seize," but it didn't begin to make the linguistic shifts necessary to turn it into a casual term for "police officer" until the mid-19th century.
The first example of 'cop' taking the meaning "to arrest" appeared in print around 1844, and the word then swiftly moved from being solely a verb for "take into police custody" to also encompassing a noun referring to the one doing the detaining.
By 1846, policemen were being described as "coppers," the '-er' ending having been appended to the "arrest" form of the verb, and by 1859 "coppers" were also being called "cops," the latter word a shortening of the former.Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

My father, was a "cop" in the 40's. According to him, it was short for "copper", that was a nickname given because of their "copper shields" and buttons on the coats.
I have heard several reasons given for the term. May or may not be accurate....This could lead to a lively discussion!It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom.Comment
