    Also, stop calling them cops

    This “cop” word has this cool power connotation

    Call them police officer, that is what they are

      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.

      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.
