    But the bulls will only either kill you or break a few bones if you don’t get out of their way. Here, the “bulls” make sure to corner you and pummell you down, just for the thrill of it.

        You mind doing me a favour? Please.

        Stop calling cops pigs. It’s idiotic, ridiculous and insultuous towards actual pigs.

        If you feel the need to throw insults, do so; just make use of some imagination. Don’t be afraid of being baroqe.

        Call them door kickers, grave fillers, trigger jockeys, wall jumpers… Say they’re as sharp as an army boot or that they’re a waste of fresh air or unneeded space filling.

        Just make it an actual insult, not a comparison to an animal that does not deserve it.

        Or better yet, despise them to such a point that you make the word cop an insult by itself.

          It’s a universally accepted term we’ve been using for over a century. Get over it.

              Then continue to be upset, dipshit. No one’s stopping on your behalf, so I guess have fun writing these paragraphs every time you see it used.

          You have a point. It was a joke to redirect the bull metaphor to a different animal, force of habit.

          On the other hand, the term “pig” for Cops has become rather detached from the animal, just like Motherfucker doesn’t actually imply incestuous sexual relations.

          But you have a point all the same.
