Gents, ladies... Unfortunately if you're not aware, GTA V has been postponed once more, to the 14th of April 2015. Truth be told it's quite inconvenient but, we must wait anyway, we have no choice. Those who have pre-ordered are to receive $200,000 for their online account for the delays. The Rockstar website hasn't been updated so it still says 24th of March. If it's delayed further I'll probably cancel my order and spend it elsewhere. Apologies for the bad news, it seems we will continue to play GTA IV for another few months. Heres the link: http://www.pcgamesn.com/grand-theft-auto-v/gta-v-pc-release-date-pushed-back-againI'm in favour of this. Now OBVIOUSLY it's not going to be used when there is a bank robbery or a life threatening situation. This won't be used in a situation which can have fatal consequences, it will be used at the officers discretion. I think when dealing with difficult people, people who are being confrontational or aggressive, it will be quite a good idea to step back, reassess and try and de-escalate the situation. The NYPD choking situation to me seemed like an excellent example of cops which over-reacted, they felt he was being aggressive so they responded with force. It should show also that they are attempting to help ease tensions between the community and officers, which is particularly strained. If an officer feels under pressure because of someone they're dealing with, they can be more hostile, which in turn makes the suspect more hostile. If an officer instead shows an attempt to de-escalate the situation, by pausing and then re-evaluating that can make a difference. The only thing I dislike is the "closing the eyes", that seems pathetic, they're not meditating, they're doing a job. Plus it breaks the visual communication between the officer and the suspect. Good on the NYPD though, there will be a lot of hostility from officers because they don't like change, especially from De Blasio, but its worth giving it a go anyway.LAPD Charger LAPD & LASD Ford Crown Victoria LASD Tahoe CHP Ford Crown Victoria CHP Ford Police Interceptor UtilityIt's impressive, but they weren't very close to each other. Airbus quite frequently does formation flying. The thing with test pilots, for Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed etc. they're all ex-military (thereabouts) so they're fantastic and able to do exceptional manoeuvres with the aircraft they fly.Thats pretty awesome, good luck to you. I wish you all the best, it's the most rewarding & prestigious career in the world (in my eyes). I've got a very similar career path planned for me as well. So I will be going to university next year to study aerospace engineering, whilst I'm there I will join an RAF squadron for University students known as University Air Squadrons, there we accumulate flight hours and general RAF experience. After which I'm going straight to the recruitment office and signing up, committing a minimum of 12 years to my country and to the safeguarding of its allies. I would like to go into fast-jet, and get assigned a Tornado or a Eurofighter, preferably the latter. If I end up flying heavies I won't be at all disappointed. Alternatively, there is the Royal Navy, but they'll be flying the F-35's and I'm not fond of those, I'd rather serve the RAF and fly our Typhoons. After around 20 years I will move over into Civil Aviation and fly for our flag carrier British Airways. An inspiring shot which keeps me motivated:
Heres a really good reason why in the UK the officers don't ride alone: http://news.sky.com/story/1431286/bodycam-captures-vicious-attack-on-officer Unlike in the US and around the world, the UK officers don't have a firearm to defend themselves, so they often have to rely on CS gas or their baton, whilst its not an issue of guns it is an issue of aggressive behaviour towards the officers, drunk in this case, but often the case. They must have a lot of cruisers then, a car per cop seems really expensive, but thanks.
I believe it is IconicRainbow's, although the bulbar and doors aren't modelled annoyingly.
Oh? I didn't know that, it's because of hardcore mode, I don't really like being shot. Thats actually really weird, in the UK it's the opposite, its weird to see them ride alone. Thanks for the heads up! Cheers

So with my limited knowledge of whats allowed in the US, I've parked my NYSP Caprice on a grass verge, running ANPR and checking for any vehicles to stop. One of my favourite US police cars.Oh? I'm sorry, I didn't remember it correctly then. I haven't read the report in such a long time. Apologies, I thought that they misinterpreted the instrumentation, causing them to switch off the engine. I forgot all about the AVM's & the air conditioning packs. Thanks for rectifying

After a lengthy pursuit the motorbike rider went into this parking lot, from which he couldn't exit. NYSP officers arrest him in the corner, whilst the helicopter places the spotlight on the criminal.

A highway patrol cruiser lays in wait for the criminals to slip up, covered in dirt and waiting just barely in sight. NYPD Ford Crown Victoria Highway Patrol Unmarked

Chasing a Faggio, making them without doubt the worst pursuits imaginable. So boring, I tried knocking him off but that didn't work. He slammed into a car much later, which made me happy. NYPD Ford Crown Victoria Highway Patrol Unmarked

Something I rarely use, the helicopter, it's a fantastic model. Here, we are hovering over a ship which is rumoured to be used to bring illegal immigrants into New York.

A group of cop killers has been stopped by the skilled members of the ESU. Here, I am approaching the vehicle with my weapon still at the target, as I check whether its clear.

Due to the current threat level, the NYPD has increased its visible presence, here is a NYPD ESS outside a high value area.

Being foolish and took the NYPD Highway patrol Harley out whilst it was snowing, needless to say, I slammed into a bus around the next corner. Apparently snow and Harleys don't mix

This guy blasted through LC, it was quite hard to keep up, pulled him over and issued him a nice citation of $100. That slowed him down. Vehicle is an NYPD Impala, found on LCPDFR.

I pulled over this person, who was driving recklessly, when I asked her to step out she was pretty much naked. The person looked like Rihanna when she had red hair. Vehicle is an NYPD unmarked.My dad's Peugeot 307 Station wagon, when I was around 13 years old (on private property). He taught me very well actually, when I started driving with a driving instructor he said I was very good, didn't have to teach me much except for manoeuvres. My bad experiences during my lessons were always the cause of other people. I had some chavy c**t overtake me at a junction, almost slammed into my car and a car coming head on, I wished so hard for a police car to have been there. A drunk guy walked out into the middle of the road, right in front of my car, I was debating whether to stop or not, but apparently my morales felt it was better to stop. Overtaken by a moron driving an Audi, I was going at the speed limit, it was a very narrow road. Driving is so much fun, I love it. I look back on my bad experiences and laugh, I don't panic for things. Good luck to youA flying sheep? It's a RAF Typhoon painted with the D-day markings which were on the allied aircraft during the invasion of the beaches, so that they could tell which aircraft were allies. But a flying sheep is good tooYeah it is. Ive currently got several versions. GTA IV EFLC Metropolitan Police GTA IV Los Angeles Police Department GTA IV New York Police Department Plus my next one will be GTA IV with older Met Police cars, such as Obsidian Games' Vauxhall Omega.
Ha, really? Poor Charger, driven into a train station.
