Piglet hero myth?

I'm assuming it's a diminutive for police. Piglet. It just makes them sound cute to me. I prefer the term hogs personally.

This guy has great reflexes and he did do some heroic shit. I don't think I could move with that level of swiftness anymore.

The word myth here makes it seem like a common thing I should have prior knowledge of. Piglet in the acab community is fairly straight forwards. I was more asking what the myth is. This dude stopping the bus isn't big enough news to have a myth around it lol.

Hog, at least where I'm from either refers to Harley motorcycles or feral pigs. Cops are %100 domestic pigs.

Domestic pigs for sure, piglet? Negative. That seems like infantilizing language to me.
