...loaded my $15000 AR-15, bought some Dude Wipes, put on my Blu-ray collection of Clint Eastwood movies, told everyone I came across that I wasn't gay, stifled all emotion, had my wife make a sandwich and raise my kids, told my black neighbor he was "one of the good ones", shared videos of dead Palestinians, put on my "Mission Accomplished" bumper sticker from 2003, turned on my Joe Rogan podcast, clocked out at the racism factory, and drove to the polls here in Whitesville Texas. Brought my wife and kids too. We understood the assignment. We were adulting. We did a democracy. Donald is right behind me isn't he?

Question for our non-Yankee Hexbears: is cop language an international phenomenon? And if so, how is it similar to/different from the American variety? I'm particularly interested in non-Anglosphere cops.

"understood the assignment" is actually young people slang, it's like a meme phrase that people overuse on twitter. it's not a cop thing

it started as a sycophantic celebrity worship thing so you're better off

and I guess now Kamala fans are using it to pat themselves on the back for voting for a genocidal cop, which is even worse
