I would say it's "fewer" not "less", but every time I do, I get a lecture and downvoted.

Even though this time it's quite clearly a case where "fewer" is the proper choice as "cop" is most definitely a countable noun (yes, I know there are exceptions, this is generally not one.)

Bring on the downvotes.

I agree with the sentiment.

Well when you have 81,000 gallons of cops you need less cops for sure. I think the sign is right.

I can't tell if you made this example randomly, or were actually present for the last discussion of this exact same thing. Either way, it's pretty funny. How many gallons in your average cop? They look pretty voluminous in general.
