It’s probably C.O.P., short for capitalist oligarchic pig
I have heard it’s because their badges were copper and got shortened to cop. I have no proof.
i read that it’s from the archaic verb “cop” which means “to seize”, so the old brits used to call them coppers, then that got shortened to cop, and it’s still in use today.
I’m afraid I can’t help you, but thr reason the answer is wrong is because Pig isn’t a job, it’s a calling.
RIP Andre Braughter the only person who could humanize a cop twice over
And only him because otherwise I don’t care
they prefer to be called “porcine americans” thank you very much
Anyone know what the circles mean when they’re like this in a crossword?
means it’s part of a clue. in this case it’s 6 above’s clue which is “Approximate shape of this puzzle’s white squares… and a synonym of the circled letters”
Oh ok thanks. When I did this puzzle I finished it before the vertical clues so I never saw that I guess.
No problem. If you want another tip: when a clue ends in a question mark, perhaps, or maybe it means that the answer or clue is a pun.
