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:
I know I’m not / wasn’t one by any reasonable definition of “bastard”
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.
