The Keystone Kops are human law enforcers that are summoned whenever you steal from a shop, such as by teleporting out of the shop or digging downwards. They attack you by throwing cream pies and beat you up with rubber hoses. While they are not very difficult to eliminate, one by one, there are a lot of them, and their numbers are quite intimidating. There are four kinds of Kops: Keystone Kops, Kop Sergeants, Kop Lieutenants and Kop Kaptains.
Although their symbol is K, they are considered human for all other purposes, including sacrificing. They do, however, respect Elbereth.
The kops are a very good source of experience and cream pies.
Strategies
One minor strategy with shopkeepers is to steal an item from the shop and leave for a distant corner of the dungeon; this will summon a slew of Kops and their equipment, followed by the shopkeeper. After slaughtering the Kops, pacify the shopkeeper and sell him the gear dropped by the dead Kops. Warning! Unless you are careful, it will take at least 1000 gold to pacify him; make sure the gear you have is worth that much.
Origin
NetHack's Kops got their name from the Keystone Kops, an incompetent bunch of policemen featured in a series of films from 1912 to 1917.
