Baccy Man - calling policemen Pigs - is derogatory and is evidence of what they have to put up with on a daily basis - I thought you had more intelligence than to sink to calling people names - I was obviously wrong! So did they steal your mini? No - the hare coursing - certainly important - but in the scheme of things - not that important!
People have called the police Pigs for a long, long time along with many other "slang" words used to describe the babylon - i'm sure they get called a lot worse more general swear words..
No - still have the mini. My point is i rarely need to contact the filth - but everytime i have they've done absolutley nothing. Yes it might only be fairly petty crime (i hardly live in the bronx) but in general its defintaley on the increase. We rarely ever see any of the rozzers out this way - ever, perhaps if they bothered to put in an appearance now and then the petty crime would'nt occur so often.
I take it your not a fan of NWA then ?

Blue Heelers: This is a term used in Australian and is after a breed of dog, the Australian Cattle Dog. This term is use because it accurately describes the personality and appearance (blue uniform) of a police officer. This term became used more frequently as it was used for the Australian police drama series Blue Heelers.

(The word retains this meaning in other contexts: teenagers "cop a feel" on a date, and they have also been known to "cop an attitude".) Variation: Copper. It is also believed that the term Copper was the original, unshortened word, popularly believed to represent the copper badges American officers used to wear at the time of origin, but in fact probably used in Britain to mean "someone who cops" long before this.
