    Is it offensive?

    When you guys hear the word "cop" does it bother you? I will be an officer soon enough and I hate the word, no matter how it is used.
    What do you guys think of the word?

    Uh, no.

    I am a cop.

    If you're offended by a word that has nothing to do with an insult, you'll never be able to deal with the things people say to us.

    I hear ya, but it seems during recent history it has been used as a slang word.

    Maybe I'm over reacting, but I don't like it.:rolleyes:
