Question: Ask The Nuwaupians, is it true that the word cop is from the word cupt" as in copti?

Answer: They will believe anything York taught, because York said so.

One of the most ridiculous petty lie York ever made, was in a book called,
"What is Nuwaupu", where he says:

 

"You run to the Tama'hu man whenever there is a problem in your home, job, and over all, your life. Let a serious dispute arise in the church, and see whether they take it to the false Jesus in prayer or to the authorities downtown called the cops, which is short for "cupt" as in copti the Greek Christian"

-What is Nuwaupu pg. 96

 

This is a baseless assertion.  York gives NO evidence to back this nonsense up, he doesn't even offer a dictionary just to corroborate his claim. All anyone has to do is conduct a search on the word "Cop" and you'll get the following results.

cop (v.) 

1704, northern British dialect, "to seize, to catch," perhaps ultimately from Middle French caper "seize, to take," from Latin capere "to take" (see capable); or from Dutch kapen "to take," from Old Frisian capia "to buy," which is related to Old English ceapian (see cheap). Related: Copped; copping."

Origin: early 18th century (as a verb): perhaps from obsolete cap 'arrest', from Old French caper 'seize', from Latin capere. The noun is from copper.

COP: Cop the noun is almost certainly a shortening of copper, which in turn derives from cop the verb. Copper as slang for policeman is first found in print in 1846, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. The most likely explanation is that it comes from the verb "to cop" meaning to seize, capture, or snatch, dating from just over a century earlier (1704). As with many words, there are several stories floating around positing various origins, almost certainly false. The notion that cop is an acronym for "Constable On Patrol" is nonsense. Similarly, the word did not arise because police uniforms in New York (or London or wherever) had copper buttons, copper badges, or anything of the sort.

-Oxford Dictionary 

There is nothing supporting York's belief that the word Cop is from the word cupt, so why would York lie about something so insignificant or trivial?  The answer may be found in the following explanation.
