An early nickname forthe policeman was “peeler” , but this one has died out .Whatever we may call them , the general opinion of the
13、police seems to be afavorable one , except , of course , among the criminal part of the communitywhere the police are given more derogatory nicknames which originated inAmerica , such as “fuzz” or “pig” .
