Around 1700, English gained the verb 'cop,' meaning "to get hold of, catch, capture."

By the mid-1800s, 'cop' is recorded in print as being used to refer to what police do to criminals.

Police were then called ‘coppers’...one who ‘cops.’

'Copper' was then shortened to 'cop.'

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.

The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.
