I don't really get why people always describe someone as "an off-duty cop," it's like, no one ever calls someone "an off-duty bartender"

I feel that it is a title that the police discipline itself has used for a long time to not support what the police officer does when he is not on duty, it seems pertinent to me.

Being a cop is one of those jobs that follows you home. People who hold a grudge may still target cops when they're off the clock. Also, cops sometimes commit unsanctioned activities so this draws a distinction between on-duty and off-duty activities.

That's funny, I've never thought of it that way. I guess it's because you can't handle this job unless it is what you are called to do with your life. So our dedication is a lot higher than a bartender no matter how much they love their job, and it forms a greater part of our identity.
