Also, stop calling them cops

This "cop" word has this cool power connotation

Call them police officer, that is what they are

Subjective. I don't find the word cop all that cool, and nowadays it gives me a negative impression. Police Officer sounds just like a formal title, like Representative, Principal, Judge, etc.

Yeah, "cop" is typically used as a pejorative

Police Officer gives them an air of professionalism they don't deserve in most cases. Nobody says 'cops' who are also happy to see them.
