Since when did everyone who works for the government become an officer? The security guy is now an officer? Was he commissioned by Congress? Why is there a boot-licking culture permeating in our society?
I think he actually is a LEO with the SJPD.
So a cop, or a policeman, still not a commissioned officer. And since when did every single policeman become an officer? Officer denotes a superiority in rank. A policeman, any policeman, does not outrank me in a civil society.
Don't they call cops "police officer"
Why are they "officers?" Are they commissioned by Congress?
I don't know why they are called officer, but I doubt they are commissioned by Congress! How about the chief executive officer? Or chief diversity officer? Are they commissioned by Joe Brandon?
A CEO of a company, especially a very large company, does command a lot of people. The workers are employees and are getting paid by the company that the CEO runs. He exercises authority over them within the context of the business. Even then, the employees never refers to the CEO or any other company officer as "officer" to their faces. They usually call them by their first names. At most, Mr. xxxx to be respectful. Outside the company, no one gives a flying flip about those "officers."
Again, why are policemen now called "officers?" We don't call firemen "officers." We call them firemen or firefighters, never "officers."
Government employees are not officers, unless they are commissioned by congress. I will settle by calling them "agents," like immigration agents rather than immigration "officer." I am OK with law enforcement agents. I dislike the term law enforcement officers.
That's just me. I dislike authority.
