Video game targets racist, trigger-happy cops

Ugh, more hate on the police.

EDIT: not to say that there are no racist cops, but I wonder how fair this "video game" was to the police.

black cops are more aggressive towards white people, so this will never end

DO these "researchers" and "experts" and "activists" have anything better to do with their time? Really now. The police catch so much flak already because it's "fad" to hate the cops. I get tired of this. If these people were in danger and they needed the police you guessed it, they all of a sudden love them.

It seems immaturity runs more rampant than I once thought. Living around police officers I can tell you none of them are racist. There are some, there will always be men and women who should not become a cop. These few bad apples seem to give the rest of them a bad name. Much like with Gamers some kid goes out and shots some people, turns out he plays some shooters and now the gaming community as a whole is to blame as well as the industry.

The police leave their families each day and night to go out there and risk their life knowing they may not come home to protect those of whom they do not know. To help keep us safe. People should really look up some History about why we needed them here in the States in the first place, then maybe a few will see why they are useful and serve a purpose. Same thing with people who have a problem with our Troops. They don't seem to realize the reason we get to have our freedom of speech and to be able to sleep at night is because of brave men and women who make sacrifices to keep us free and safe, yet so many people overlook that important fact! Without these men and women we would not have our freedoms or the ability to sleep so peacefully, not to mention the quality of life that many of us enjoy here in America.

@ Xionpunk.
Yes, I wonder how "fair" this "game" was for the Police. Cops are under enough stress already from family life and problems to problems at work to probelems on the streets. The things they see day in and day out. To me it's just not very fair to throw them in the spotlight! For what? To "prove" some point. Give me a break, I would like to know one person who would say they would not call the Police if they were in trouble, of course those who are not criminals.

Not only are the police more aggressive toward black people but they profile us all the time. Just yesterday I was in a new development looking for a lot to build a house on and the police followed me and stopped me asking "what are I doing out here, are you looking for somebody"? I told him no I'm looking for a lot to build on he replied " oh I was just asking because I never seen you out here before" I told him in other words you are racial profiling. he looked shocked that I said that then drove off.

The police officers themselves aren't the problem. The problem lies in how they are educated. More social skills/psychology, less army attitude. They need to start approaching citizens as humans, not as potential criminals. We pay tax money to have them protect us, not to have them abuse their power and beat or kill us. Especially not because of the color of our skin.

"they're racist too" assertion is tired...well i am fed up with black people crying all the time about this subject...if a white boy is being racist against you, well then knock him the F out...black people are just as racist towards white people because they think all white people are racist...this is why i said it will never end...when i can walk in a bookstore and see magazines printed just for black people(black men, etc.), it makes me wonder who the real racists are...if i wanted to print a magazine and call it "white men", i guarantee no one would allow it. why? because it is racist...this whole subject makes me sick
