Official vocab guidelines state that we use service and not force.

[–]BigLou96 14 points15 points ago

It is seen as too aggresive, as well as the use of Police "officer" because it's sexist to women in the service.

[–]TheOneTonWanton 4 points5 points ago

You sons of bitches

[–]jonaheim88 2 points3 points ago

how does officer signify gender? I am unfamiliar with this.

[–]BigLou96 2 points3 points ago

By saying Police man you're saying the it is a man's profession, whereas by saying officer it cuts out the sexism.

[–]jonaheim88 3 points4 points ago

oh, i thought you were refering to officer when you said it was sexist.

[–]BigLou96 3 points4 points ago

I really got to work on my grammar and punctuation. :)

[–]thatguy1056 0 points1 point ago

What? You're telling people they should call cops something other than police men, and your word of choice is officer?? I mean seriously if you are going to try to get people to call them something else you should at least be creative with it!

[–]BigLou96 0 points1 point ago

Well, to be respectful to "officer's" of the law that's what people call them, not cops. I'm going to be honest with you ThatGuy, your name isn't exactly the most creative username on Reddit.

[–]BigLou96 1 point2 points ago

You have to watch Hot Fuzz to get it.

[–]DeepRoot 0 points1 point ago

I've heard the term "Peace Officer" used often but it seems like it's not used enough. I'd be okay if they (or you if you are one) acted that way more. Like, don't police but bring peace. Hell, I'd be willing to sell them that slogan I just made up! Copyright anyone?

[–]lnenad 0 points1 point ago

Disregard 

  thehahn.

[–]AltoidNerd 0 points1 point ago

Disregard this comment.

[–]Bigfudge89 19 points20 points ago

I remember when someone posted this a month ago, except it was about Canada... http://i.imgur.com/hfwc4.jpg

[–]krankdaddy 7 points8 points ago

I was just going to say that. By London, do you mean Canada...?

[–]StandingTheGaff 11 points12 points ago

Yep, London Ontario.

[–]StandingTheGaff 11 points12 points ago

I should think that choosing the phrase, "Disregard the Constabulary" would have demonstrated superior Britishness.

[–]Setacics 5 points6 points ago

Agreed, perhaps appending it to "Disregard the Local Constabulary", although "Disregard the Constabulary" is more succinct.

[–]StandingTheGaff 1 point2 points ago

While brevity is often virtuous, there exists plenty of wall in this case; one could go so far as to make the suggestion that one ought to "Disregard the Constabulary of These Otherwise Fine Environs".

[–]thisisthelaststop 10 points11 points ago

My personal favorite is "Fornicate the Constable", but this is still great.

[–]huge_bullfrogfrog 2 points3 points ago

Bugger the constabulary! Rodger them like a Welshman rodgers a sheep!

[–]Ice_tail 5 points6 points ago

If you're going to repost, dont lie please.

[–]jbtk 3 points4 points ago

Are you sure this wasn't in Canada?

[–]McCrazyMax -1 points0 points ago

THIS IS A REPOST OF MY OC

[–]TheNinjaFish 2 points3 points ago

You repost basically everything you post, but yet you get angry when someone reposts one of the only OC posts you make?

[–]carrot_the_spy 1 point2 points ago

Better watch out, next thing you know they'll be drinking decaffeinated tea.

[–]brogues1 0 points1 point ago

My personal favorite is: "Procreate with women, acquire currency."

[–]Ragnarok2kx 1 point2 points ago

I do believe that the actual intent of the original is more along the lines of "Disregard females, acquire currency"

[–]brogues1 0 points1 point ago

I know that I've changed the saying a bit, however I think this is better.

[–]aequitas3 -1 points0 points ago

I think PC term is now Police Department. And Policemen-officers. And traffic accidents are now traffic collisions.

Canadian Police Force: "Oh... we're so sorry"

[–]medhop 0 points1 point ago

Down with this sort of thing!

[–]ninereeds314 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of Terry Pratchetts Interesting Times...

"Slightly Bad Things Please Happen To Our Enemies!"

[–]deathstep1 -1 points0 points ago

Fuck the police...like a sir !

[–]jonaheim88 2 points3 points ago

repost.

[–]gkiltz 0 points1 point ago

The wealthy don';t need to be told that they just DO it.

[–]ShepPawnch 0 points1 point ago

I say! monocle pops out

[–]tealeg 0 points1 point ago

Gadzooks, this gentleman's glass onion has evacuated his person!

[–]DevilsLittleChicken 1 point2 points ago

I'm sure this was posted as found in Canada a couple of weeks ago...

[–]Crown_ 1 point2 points ago

Reposters is somethibg I hate but have to deal with, but don't repost and claim it's OC, you didn't fucking find that yourself.

[–]Feelcat 0 points1 point ago

/r/firstworldanarchists/ might fit better.

[–]TalonX1982 -2 points-1 points ago

Oh, those Brits. Even their graffiti is calm and charming.
