Coppers do not like the general public being rude towards them, they find it very tiresome and respond quite aggressively (understandably, I think).<br /><br />TCO, there are some people who find swearing offensive, even if the swearword is clearly directed at a third party. The preening twats. <br /><br />TS, yes, you are one of the few who saw them through to the bitter end, and they do get "better" but only if you know the back story.
