As an ex-cop from the US, I equally get a kick out of the "pig" memes and the "yank" memes; it seems people really enjoy them and they're neither harmful nor offensive. I only get confused when I occasionally realize that their users sometimes think it really hurts us.

Bastard...

Had to do it man...

So why are you an ex cop?

The bastard one is a little more evocative, but:

  1. I know I'm not / wasn't one by any reasonable definition of "bastard"

  2. I know it comes from a misguided place of anger so it doesn't bother me a whole lot anyway

I end up just feeling... sad for the effect it has on driving decent people away from law enforcement, which of course raises the % of Bastards overall.
