English term or phrase: cop pops pol
vi isso em um episodio de law & order...o policial pega um jornal com essa manchete...p que quer dizer?
Achei estas informações aqui sobre a cena:

Logan shows Falacci a newspaper clipping with the headline "Cop Pops Pol" and a picture of Logan punching a city councilman; this newspaper was shown at the end of the "L&O" episode, the last one in which Logan appeared; Logan was reassigned to Staten Island as a punishment for his conduct.
...
The newspaper clipping that Logan shows Falacci is about the confrontation between Logan and a city counselor that happened during the Law and Order episode Pride. The "Cop Pops Pol" headline was used in that episode as well.
...
"Cop Pops Pol", it says, a glaring reminder of what he has done. Stupid move, really, decking a city councilman in front of the courthouse, where all the reporters were. Still, if given the choice, he has the feeling that he'd do it again. And if he hadn't been so pissed off about the crap that said city councilman had been shooting off, he might have actually laughed.

...
“Cop Pops Pol” Sarah read the yellowed newspaper clipping that Mike had carried for more than ten years, recounting the famous incident of then-homicide Detective Mike Logan very publicly punching a homophobic city councilman following his mistrial in the murder of another…gay…councilman. They were sitting on the couch in Mike’s apartment, after finishing the dinner Sarah had prepared. She handed the clipping back to him without a word and he gave her another clipping. This one was dated a few weeks later.

“Detective Mike Logan is a dichotomy within the NYPD. Part old-time, cynical, hard-bitten cop and part ‘kinder, gentler,’ more sensitive detective, Mike Logan is not easy to pigeon-hole. Known within the department as a ‘hot-head’, he freely admitted to coercing a confession from the man who murdered his former partner, Sergeant Max Greevey, four years ago. Dan Magadan Jr. was convicted without the tainted confession, thanks to the evidence uncovered by this same detective. During the trial of Councilman Kevin Crossley, Logan admitted to having, in the past, joked about ‘homo-cide’ while investigating murders that may have occurred during domestic violence between gay lovers. Yet he is known within the NYPD as a cop who will investigate the murder of a homeless person just as vigorously as that of the wealthiest victim on Park Avenue. He didn’t hesitate to join his fellow officers to try to protect Crossley from the gay activists enraged by his mistrial, only to punch Crossley himself when he made derogatory statements about the gay community.

“Is Mike Logan a bigoted dinosaur left over from an anachronistic time in the NYPD that is best forgotten? Or is he an enlightened new-age detective who wants only justice for all victims? Logan himself has no time or patience for such existential questions. ‘I’m a cop,’ he says simply.

“In the end, this is perhaps the most appropriate description of a complicated man. A look at the cases he has investigated as a homicide detective reveal a high solve rate, with a majority of those cases that go to trial ending with a conviction. As both a uniformed officer and as a detective, Logan has earned a reputation within the NYPD as a cop who ‘has the back’ of his fellow officers, yet he has not always gone along with the ‘buddy-boy’ system.

“As punishment for his latest indiscretion, Logan has been temporarily reassigned to Staten Island. While the borough of Staten Island needs good cops just as much as any of the other four, investigating high-end burglaries of million-dollar homes does not seem to be the best use of this particular detective’s talents. It is this reporter’s hope that the ‘exile’ will indeed be temporary and short-lived, and that the brass within the NYPD will realize that Detective Mike Logan’s unique capacity to ignore politics and seek justice for victims are exactly what are needed in the 27th precinct.”

“Wow,” Sarah said.

"Josh stuck up for me and it cost him his own career," Mike told her. "And now he's dead. He thought he was on the story of a lifetime and it turned out to be just a big hoax, and then he's poisoned by accident when they were really after his girlfriend....it's all so....senseless."

"He was a good friend." Sarah handed the clippings back to him.

Obviously this is tabloid headline - so some sort of gíria is called for :-)
