It seems to me the point of using the "wanna-be cop phrase instead of 'aspiring police officer' or something like it, is to disparage such an aspiration. Every time I see that it gives me pause.

Is it an ignoble aspiration until it is actually attained? And if it's not noble, then isn't the attainment of it to be disparaged as well? I think not.
