    Is calling a police officer a "COP" ok?

    I know that policemen call each other cops, but is it ok for a civilian to call a policeman a cop? Or is it like one black man calling another black man a nigga... but if whitey does it it's bad?

      the REAL question should be , can you call a cop a PIG to his face?

      har har
      SIG TOO SMALL! Maximum 1200x600 button and no more than 30 text lines of ALL SIZES and COLORS. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 6240x4800 instead of a 1024x800.

                          Just call them the popo and you'll be fine.

                          jk, from the ones I know, they don't care if you call them cops.

                            The original name for "Cops" came from "Coppers" and I believe it got it's start in England back when the police would wear the double button front jackets and the buttons were made of Copper so the slang for Police Officer became "Copper" and has since been shortened to just "Cop". I don't think it's really derogatory or anything. Just shortened slang.

                                Cop is a noun.

                                You cant call them that when talking to them

                                You: So cop, why did i get pulled over.

                                There will never be a time when you call him a cop to his face. Only when you talk of other cops does it make sense.
                                Care about me?
                                Who?
                                Me!
                                Who?

                                      COP stands for Contable On Patrol if I recall correctly.

                                          kill cops because cops kill

                                          Often times I wonder why
                                          There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                          When sickness comes I must decide:
                                          When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                              The story I heard was that in America, when philadelphia had police footman they did indeed get copper buttons.. Very ritzy and glitzy for those times, and were called "copper buttons", "coppers", "cops".. Maybe a parallel? Or is the copper buttons simply fake?

                                                  they like being called 'cop' as long as you don't sound 'like an asshole' when you do

                                                      Depending on whether you're in trouble or not. I find it that pigs have inflated egos that you can easily use to your advantage by showing them "respect". Besides, it's not like you've got something to prove to them.

                                                          No, they don't find it offensive if you call them cops.

                                                          I once had an officer named Copps coming to my house to file a report after I got broken into. I was thinking against it but my big mouth got the best of me and I cracked a joke about his name being fit for the job.

                                                          He must have heard it a million times already anyways so he just chuckled while filing the report and I'm still a free man.
