I'm sure there's a slight connotation of that for some cops that use it, but in general I believe it means more of a "maggot on society" type thing, meaning just a scumbag, but their own personal double 'g' word.
We just got back from dinner and me and my other roommate were giving him a hard time because he kept looking at all the "maggots" standing in front of bars and pubs as we drove by, seemingly checking them out for criminality. We reminded him he was off the clock 
Seriously, he's a cool guy and a great friend, and I wouldn't describe him as a douche at all, it's just I worry for his safety and that he might be going down the wrong path in some ways. That's all. |

Second, he's become paranoid about having his gun on him at all times. I personally don't support gun ownership outside of on-duty officers, but that's not something I want to debate. He's incapable of going out without his gun on him at all times. I understand that being an officer of the law usually only nets you enemies that hate you, many of them violent, but again, 99.999% of off-duty police officers, and people in general, seem to survive every day without being shot in the back by a con who has a grudge against them. It's gotten so bad that any time he goes out, even in the hot sun, he has to wear a jacket to conceal his gun, even if it's just to a friend's house or the drive-thru.
Third, and this is something that I offer as a problem of my own to contrast to my friend's: he's insane about locking our doors. He feels that since he's an officer, he has a larger threat to him than the rest of us do. This has led to said gun concealment issues and paranoia about people, but also with locking our doors. We have all of the doors to our house locked, all day and night, front, back, and side, or he tells us off and says we need to do a better job locking them. This happened yesterday with our side garage door. My rebuttal is that first, we live out in the country. No one knows we live here. The chances that someone would come to our house, open our gate, try the one door that isn't locked, go into our house and take our stuff is infinitesimally small. One of the three roommates is here 99% of the time as well, and we live in an incredibly safe city. He argues that someone could take his gun. My first thought was obviously that he should get rid of it, and then that he always has it on him anyways, but that getting freaked out about locking the doors is simple paranoia to the core.

I've always made it a firm rule never to argue with paranoid gun-wearing people. I'm flexible on some other things, but on this one not so much. |
