These cops don’t realize they are playing along perfectly with the PR campaign
From an article linked in this one:
Via WSVN, Bermudez claims he’s “not against video games, but to go out and get a video game where – which glorifies not only our first responders getting shot, but also pedestrians and residents – it’s nonsensical.”
Republican sheriff Cordero-Stutz similarly points to GTA’s crime-centric themes, adding: “At a time when law enforcement is working every day to reduce violent crime, prevent robberies and car thefts, combat drug trafficking, and build stronger relationships between our deputies and the communities we serve, I believe we need to seriously consider the message we send when our own government promotes a fictional identity centered around many of those same crimes.”
Remember, kids. Guns don’t kill people. Games about guns kill people.
Referencing current times in this way is crazy. Ignorant of ICE, surveillance, violence, and prejudice criticisms.
Billboards are not the only thing projecting an image.
And the last time I checked, their duties were still 99.9% protect elites with violence and .01% build relationships with the community.
I mean, I specifically like GTA because it allows me to rack up 4 stars and brutally and violently murder POS LEOs until they give up cause I’ve trashed their forces and they don’t have anything heavier to send at me.
I would be happy to see the same done in real life, but I doubt the outcome would be anywhere near similar.
I used to even spend hours on Assassin’s Creed just gutting cops, stealing their rides and running over thugs until I saw another set of cops to rob. Then I’d kill them, and take their ride, and…
Fuck the police!
