Arizona Online News Outlet Uses "Lawmen" in Headline

[Betsy Brantner Smith]

Is anyone else a little bothered by this headline? 

"Tucson police, Pima Sheriff hiring lawmen"

I'm a part time resident of Tucson, and I received this article today in my email. I was never particularly offended when I was called a "policeman" but I wrote the female author (and editor) and asked her about this. She claims this is a common use of the term. Hmmmmm..... Considering Tucson PD is recently notorious for washing out women recruits from the academy, I wonder about the culture.
