Why do people call cops pigs?

Doctor John

So many reasons.....

So many reasons.....

Once you have had dealings with the police, they mutate into what you now know they are......... and pig is just one of sooooooo many names you can call these lowlife's.

Personally, I can honestly say I have never had a successful outcome from dealing with them......... I had to teach my own kids to never, ever, trust a policeman, or woman, which I felt uncomfortable about, but it was necessary given my, and my families experiences........ which I could have well done without. Once the bastards have their hooks in you, they dont let go......

If you thought the term pig arose in the 1960s, you're in for a surprise. The OED cites an 1811 reference to a "pig" as a Bow Street Runner--the early police force, named after the location of their headquarters, before Sir Robert Peel and the Metropolitan Police Force (see above.) Before that, the term "pig" had been used as early as the mid-1500s to refer to a person who is heartily disliked.

The usage was probably confined to the criminal classes until the 1960s, when it was taken up by protestors. False explanations for the term involve the gas masks worn by the riot police in that era, or the pigs in charge of George Orwell's Animal Farm.

While police officers usually don't mind being called "cops," they aren't usually fond of the term "pig." A policeman's lot is not an 'appy one.

By the way, the French call their police gendarmes, which came from gens d'arme (people with weaponry) which ranked just below knight in medieval armies--the English equivalent would be "esquire," perhaps. No, somehow I don't think calling the police "squires" will catch on here. http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/399628

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.

"Pig" I assumed was short for "pigheaded"...a close-mindedness, stubborn, by-the-book, always arrest mentality.

"Cop" I think is short for copper...the color of a policemans badge...as in "You dirty copper"

And this...
I have no idea why, pigs are actually pretty intelligent animals.

:yeahthats Yea..... cause they pig out on donuts! Funny, my sister is getting married to a cop. They want to get a pet pig.

Ahh, what can ya do...

Some do really enjoy being controlled.. Those that dont end up cheated on, taking a good beating, and divorced.

A good portion of police are nothing but Scumbags with badges and guns.. I know one who ALWAYS remembers his gun, NEVER forgets his badge, but always seems to lose his wedding ring when we go to the strip club LMAO..

Well, he's actualy an alright guy..... And no, she doesn't "enjoy being controlled". Not all cops are P.O.S's In fact, I've met quite a few that were realy cool people. There are all types in all lines of work. Granted, there are alot of ass hole cops out there.

I haven't met many that I've liked very much, or would say are "cool people".. My buddy wit the badge is alright.. He makes for a one hell of a wingman like I said LOL. Chics dig the badge.. Marrying a cop is a huge gamble on statistics though. Studies consistently show that the police profession has the highest rates of divorce, alcoholism, domestic violence, and suicides.

Yeah, I guess my buddy is "Cool" in that he's gotten me out of a couple tickets, and he'll look the other way when I wanna smoke a doob when we're together.. Dick in that he'll ticket some poor sob tomorrow for the same infractions, and make their lives absolutely miserable for it.. I'm sure there are some good ones out there, but I have not met 1 who hasn't used the badge/job/power to his full advantage. I believe that's what turns me off more than anything... I have a hard time respecting someone who would police unjust laws. or those in which they themselves dont agree with..

I've learned It's not always what ya know, but it's who ya know, and even more so what ya know about them that means the most;) LMAO..

The Police Are actually good Christians Justifying their lives by correcting societies ills.
Remain on good terms with Police at all times. You can always turn to them when you need their help.Most of them do not want to arrest people for Drugs charges if its just smoking pot
