Origin of cops
    #5864401 - 07/16/06 05:16 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Know why police are called cops? I didn't until tonight.

The first police in our country were Irish. So they were called coppertops, from the red hair dumb fucks, which was eventually shortened down to cops.

/cue corny music......The More You Know........

I always think "citizen on patrol"...you know how they have those volunteers that drive around in the c.o.p. marked vehicles that look similar to police cars sometimes....

so I guess that's not it. interesting.

I was always told this was the reason. Who really knows though...

After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action.  If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it.  - Ernest Hemingway

If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it.  In the law courts, in business, in government.  There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent.    -Cormac MacCarthy

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.  - Aeschylus
