tim260 reacted to Sam in Man Shot Dead By Police in NJ Dashcam FootageI dunno, seems somewhat irregular what's happening here.
He obviously instantly recognises the passenger He seems to only be really dealing with the passenger (approaching from that side and more concerned with him) There's some conflicting verbal commands issued The gun is seemingly retrieved, and the guy's hands are clearly empty I suspect that if something like this happened in the UK or in similar countries, the outcome would be termination and possible criminal charges. He's obviously not the smartest guy in the world by showing the gun and making a scene, but in terms of him actually pointing a weapon at the officer or anything like that, you can't see it from the video. Just because he could have perhaps saved himself doesn't mean the shooting is justified, an officer should be able to control uncooperative suspects without using lethal force. I think he simply panicked because of knowing who the passenger was and that he had shot at police before - that probably isn't a valid justification for employing lethal force though. It'll be interesting to see how this goes, and you'd think it'd be a good opportunity for Christie ahead of 2016 to show some leadership and setup a proper investigation.

The concept seems nice and if their servers are reeeaaaalllly good and always full of people I can see it being kind of fun.
But sadly I can see this being a complete flop in which your money is taken and the project dies. Heres why:
1) Online only, so it relies on the servers being stable and there being enough people. If there isn't enough people you'll be bored for 90% of the time and the remaining 10% will be very fast paced and over within seconds.
2) Unless you get a decent position (like a cop) you're gonna have a shit time. I mean, you own a business so what you stand still for 6 hours, earn money. Drive home then repeat the next day? That isn't fun, no matter how much you roleplay cleaning the floor and counters.
3) Relies on a decent balance of players, it's no good having a server of 100 cops, 2 criminals a 1 store clerk. further, if someone desperately wants to be a cop, they won't stay with a server until they can be one.
4) This is the big one. After a few weeks all the young children who have apparently fucked my mum will be playing, screaming down their £2.99 budget headset they got from a dodgy electrical store in town. whining they got banned/kicked by a shitty admin and failing to roleplay. As will the script kiddies who ruin everyones day.
I hate to be the negative guy, cause this does "look" very good. But they're claiming a huge amount of stuff with so far nothing to show for it and people have given money.
