A couple of cops were at my house to discuss a situation and one of them looked at an obviously plastic toy medieval sword that was about six feet away and asked,"Is that real?" This isn't the first time I have heard a cop ask such a stupid question. I responded by snickering, "Yeah, it's real....plastic." He seemed offended by my response.
Are they so eager to make an arrest or write a ticket that they grasp at the air for anything?

The situation had nothing to do with the behavior of anyone in our home. I laugh at the idea that the assumption was made. And we do not live in a trailer park. And I think I mentioned that the sword was OBVIOUSLY a plastic toy. It even had a kink in the middle of the "blade" where it had been bent in the midst of play. And yes, this really happened. Why would I make it up? Just so I could ask a question.
What cracks me up most is a cop's inability to discern or reason. I had a friend once who drew tastefully nude pictures. A cop was visiting his house to ask about a crime he had witnessed, looked at the drawings on the wall, and said: "These girls are all of age, I hope." See? Always looking for a crime where there is no crime. No ability to reason or discern. No doubt the woman in the drawing was nude, but they were drawings, obviously of full-grown women, and it was hanging in my friend's hallway... and he was HELPING the cop at the time, being a good neighbor.

Do you have to be rude? They have e tough job where they could be killed at any time, I like you can cut them some slack and maybe be polite?

Maybe the next time you have what you consider a good reason to need the police, they should respond by asking, "Is this for real?" The sensible answer to the cop's question would have been a polite, "No, it's just a plastic toy. See?" and then show him the plastic sword.

Police Officers are not stupid, but I firmly believe your question is . I doubt if any Officer would ask you this. Go back to bed and dream up another phoney thought. Yes, our Police Officers are really eager to get the crooks out of Society. Makes the day !!!!

HAHA You are the idiot here. He asked if it was real to make sure your moronic self wasnt going to use it against him. We are attentive to weapons in the home. Stop having us at your trailer park and you won't have to worry about it, now will you?

Stop having the police over, better yet when they are over, talk to them outside of the door.

They're rarely as stupid as they seem. They do things like that to throw you off guard and give YOU the opportunity to show them how stupid YOU are.

Advice: Why test their limits, especially since you have no idea of what kind of day or week they've had!
