    Norbo,

    Any word or term that is used to refer to someone that is commonly known to be derogatory is known as a slur.

    And while using the word pig to refer to a Police Officer may be common where you live it is still a slur.

    Slurs are a form of prejudice and bigotry.

    A pub owner is well within their rights, in their establishment, to warn or even eject a customer for prejudiced, bigoted, rude, insulting, or abusive language or behavior.

    Here on X Marks our Rule #4 addresses this same issue.
    "Posts or photos which defame, mock, ridicule, or which voice or promote prejudice or bigotry of any kind are subject to removal."

    What you do in your home or when with your mates is totally up to you. When you take that sort of behavior out in public or into a private establishment you should expect to be met with just the sort of reception your friend got.
