YES he did, and it is time we all stood up for ourselves and fought back too.\nthe hands of the police are tied due to all the political correctness and do-gooders, so they are not able to do their jobs properly and protect us, so, it is time we all started to protect ourselves, then just maybe the government would see just what a cockup they have made of everything and stop pussyfooting around and  do something about it

"So policemen are just those who catch or apprehend criminals, a worthy occupation. And a copper is someone who seizes, a usage first recorded in Britain in 1846." - thus we have the word "cop"

For a really eye opening different perspective, read an issue of Men's health from about 6 months ago. they did an article called Blue Juice or something like that where they investigated the rampant steroid abuse of police officers. They even gave tips on how not to be a victim of police rage...it was really interesting.

The governments henchmen and stealth tax collectors usually.\nIn my towns police HQ there are 2 desks manned until 10pm.\nOne has an ignorant apathetic arrogant civilian clerk and the other is marked "immigrants only".Paid to sit there all day evertday on the off chance that an immigrant may come in.Yet the police moan about lack of resource funding.\nI think no one has respect for the police anymore, since mrs thatcher left govt, the recruiting standard has drpped off the radar \nNow we have a force of semi illiterate , 4'10" ,gay, politically correct creeps with chips on their shoulders.and the higher up the ranks the worse they get!\nI know its getting a little cliched , but catch some real criminals, instead of spying on us , collecting our data for "our own protection" and bullying hard working taxpaying motorists.

Never heard of it. It's not the general publics' responsibility to ENFORCE the laws, just to abide by them. It's the police that do the enforcing ... at least that's what I think.

When the first police force began to patrol in the summer of 1845, they only badges on their civilian clothing. The badges were 8 pointed stars with the seal of the City at the center and were made of stamped copper. The newspapers of the time referred to the new force as the "Star Police" but people seeing the shiny copper shields began to call the new force "Coppers" which was later shortened to "Cops." \nThere is also a British police term; Constable On Patrol which may account for the term "cops" in England

In 1910, Alice Stebbin Wells (LAPD) became the first female police officer in the U.S. with the power to arrest people. She may not have been the first policewoman ever, but having the ability to arrest someone is certainly a large part of being a police officer.

If you mean the kind of "animal cop" that is featured on the TV show "Animal Cops," those officers are a special version of law enforcement that is a branch of the ASPCA.  Such "animal cops" only exist in large cities and in a few places in the USA.  In most places, animal "law enforcement" is handled by city or county animal control officers who have extremely limited peace officer powers.  Check with the ASPCA or your local animal control agency.
