When was she a cop? Thought she was a (assistant ) district attorney and then AG.
People consider that part of the extended cop family.
Reason why its considered part of the family is because for every cop that does bad but nothing ever happens to them, you can thank the DA for that choice.
To add to this, high level prosecutors need the backing of the police to do their job well. Cops are the ones on the streets making arrests, collecting evidence, and enforcing the laws. If they don’t like a district attorney, they can look the other way and make it difficult for them to do their job.
In my opinion one of the big reasons so many cops aren’t prosecuted in this country is the prosecutors don’t want to lose their political will with the cops.
In San Francisco, cops refused to do their jobs until the progressive DA who promised to punish bad cops was forced out.
I'm guessing the "back the blue" folks only consider someone a cop if they're in the police union. Which is also funny because they tend to vastly support candidates that want to strip union rights
They also want to defund the IRS and other federal agencies, which exist to enforce laws. Once of the biggest CSAM busts in history was spearheaded by a single IRS agent and resulted in hundreds of arrests across the globe, including a border patrol agent. It ended with taking down a huge darknet website called "welcome to video."

Makes sense, and is a perfect addition to my recent comment:

That's entirely possible. I honestly don't know where they draw thier little thin lines.
If only we could convert their mental gymnastics to physical gymnastics we’d have a limitless source of renewable energy

She literally called herself the "Top Cop" in multiple speeches.

I call myself "Top Lover" but if you talk to my wife you'd get a different story...
I'm so sorry bostonbananarama's wife...
Why? She's a Top. Makes sense, really.
I'm more using cop as a shorthand for "consistently on the side of the police and the State in the criminal justice system as a criminal prosecutor and district attorney" instead of "she was literally a uniformed officer"
