I got into the Hardline Beta, but it hasn't appeared in my games in Origin, even though the transaction status is listed as complete. Go figure. +10000000 on the discontinuation of Uplay, killing of EA's always-on DRM, and an HD remake of The Warriors. :D

10-4 is affirmative, whereas 10-3 is call dispatcher by phone. The formatting in the OP is less-than-stellar. See the links I posted a few posts up for the proper formatting.

Here are the ten codes in a more readable format. NYPD: http://www.n2nov.net/nypdcodes.html FDNY: http://www.n2nov.net/10code.html

I liked the concept that you were shooting for here. I wish that there was a better way to institute older, mechanical sirens into GTA IV. Being able to wind them up and down would be great, especially when paired with vintage vehicles. Perhaps one day someone will find a way to make them work; I'd love a Federal 660 "Pulsator" then! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bkSV4PJydc

I'm pretty sure that it is a departmental choice. The New York State Police, for example, carry tasers to my knowledge. Perhaps the NYPD doesn't have the resources necessary to train all officers in proper taser use, or rather does not want the possible lawsuit-fest that comes with equipping ever officer with a taser in a sue-happy city.

One must fully understand the context of the circumstance to grasp why that occurred, however. If memory serves, two officers approached an individual that previously shot a coworker to death, and he turned with a gun in his hand facing them [i'm not sure if he shot first or not]. Both officers backpedaled, and opened fire. This, coupled with extreme stress associated with being possibly seconds away from your own death, how densely Manhattan is populated, and how heavy the NYPD's trigger-pull on their firearms is, shows that it is not necessarily only training that comes into play. Take the surveillance footage from that incident. Because of how open the area was it would have been EXTREMELY difficult to avoid the injury of bystanders. He forced their hand by pulling his gun.
