  1. I don't agree with every single shooting a good majority are bad, but a good majority are legal and justified based on law. No officer ever wants to be put in these situations. In this case its unfortunate for both sides, but the man had a weapon.

     

     

    In reply to that. A lot of people have never been in these types of situations ever. lawyers, and the public sometimes take days and weeks judging an incident that a human had to make a split second decision on.  Everyone has a right to have there own opinion, but at the same time until you have been put in one of these situations your opinion is invalid. 

     

    There is no reason for anyone to hold a long metal pipe when walking towards the police what so ever. Yes the man was deaf, but he could see weapons pointed at him.

     

    So my question to everyone is the guy kept walking towards the officers with a pipe. The guy then gets to one of the officers and starts striking him in the head with a pipe then what do we do at that point? Now we have an officer knocked out from a pipe now what do they need to do?  And no the other officers can't shoot because they are worried about hitting that other officer with a bullet. 

     

     

    Everyone wants to say what should've happened, but no one has been put into that situation.  For instance people say you should have tased him? Ok what if the taser was ineffective now the guy is even closer to me with a pipe. Or what if the guy had a heart condition, and died from the taser. Then people would have been like oh you didn't have to tase him.. So its  a lose lose situation. I guess police are supposed to not do anything, and just leave? I don't know . Society watches a lot of NCIS, lethal weapon etc. this stuff on tv is no where close to reality.

    Naw, shooting someone five times is shooting to kill. There's really no other outcome in that scenario.

     

    Exactly stopping the threat. You shoot until the threat is down then you reassess the situation. If the subject no longer poses a threat then you render aid to the suspect or other officers. A deadly force encounter is not shoot to wound someone its shoot until there is no longer a threat.

  3. UPDATE!!!! Oklahoma DA won't charge officer in deaf man's killing.

     

     

    I rest my case

    OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma prosecutor announced Friday that he won’t charge a police officer who fatally shot a deaf man, determining the killing was legally justified after the man aggressively approached the officer while armed with a 2-foot metal pipe.

    Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater cleared Officer Chris Barnes in the Sept. 19 shooting of 35-year-old Magdiel Sanchez outside his south Oklahoma City home. A second officer who shot Sanchez with a Taser, Lt. Matt Lindsey, also acted justifiably because of the potential threat to the officers’ lives, Prater said.

    “At the moment Officer Barnes discharged his pistol he was acting in self-defense and, in my opinion, had no other reasonable option to prevent Mr. Sanchez from seriously injuring or killing him,” Prater said. “Both officers employed techniques in an attempt to de-escalate and bring the situation to a peaceful ending. It is due to no fault of the officers that the matter ended violently.”

     

    Both Barnes and Lindsey tried to render aid to Sanchez immediately after the shooting, Prater said.

    Police have said officers who responded to a hit-and-run crash encountered Sanchez holding a metal pipe. An autopsy report shows Sanchez was hit with a stun gun and shot five times in the chest, pelvis and upper arm.

    Police have said previously that witnesses yelled “he can’t hear you” before the officers fired, but that the officers didn’t hear them. Prater suggested Friday that the fact Sanchez was deaf was not the reason he was killed, noting that both officers were in uniform, were driving in clearly marked patrol cars with emergency lights activated and were signaling to Sanchez to put down the weapon.

    “You don’t have to hear to know what these officers are telling you,” Prater said.

    The shooting prompted protests from activists from groups including Black Lives Matter Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Association of the Deaf.

    Family members of Sanchez had called for Barnes’ arrest and for state and federal investigations into the matter.

    Sanchez’s family has said he was completely deaf, developmentally disabled, and that he used the pipe as a walking stick. The autopsy found no drugs or alcohol in Sanchez’s system.

     

    Attorneys for Sanchez’s family disputed Prater’s suggestion that the officers tried to deescalate the situation.

    “I think it’s fair to say there was absolutely zero de-escalation deployed in this case,” said Melvin Hall. “They continued to pursue him. They continue to follow him. They approached him on his own property. There was no effort to fall back to a safe position. There was no effort to establish a perimeter.”

    Prater earlier this week charged an Oklahoma City police officer with second-degree murder for fatally shooting a suicidal man in a separate case.

    “We follow the evidence, and whatever conclusions we make ... that’s where we end up,” Prater said. “A couple of days ago it meant we filed on a police officer for murder in the second degree and manslaughter. Today, the evidence led me to believe that these officers very appropriately acted in self-defense.”

    I installed ELS along with the necessary files that needed to go in. When I installed an ELS compatible vehicle the light bar doesn't work, but the tail lights & siren work. I'm new to modding

     

    Did you put the .xml file that was provided with the mod in the ELS folder? Which is located in your GTA V main directory?

    Please do not say "yall" including me.  I never said I was disappointed.  It is obviously an ingenious mod.  I said I consider it unfinished and it is dead, i.e. it seems it will not be updated.  That is not an insult to what has already been done with it.

     

    I understand, but in that case, it would be really appreciated if he would just open source it.  I don't think it's unreasonable not to expect it to be updated considering how long it's been since an update and considering Lt Caine does not post anywhere and seems to be inactive.

    True, I'm sure a lot of people wished he opened sourced it, but the end of the day he created it so he's going to do what he wants to do.

    I currently have ELS V8 and i know there is an option in the ELS.ini file to have faster ELS lights by changing digits. I have it set at 0 but i was wondering if there was a mod/option to have them even faster?

     

     

    The two options you have is 

     

    try using 0.5 it might speed it up 

     

    or try going to the start menu then running a benchmark some people said they did that every time they started the game, and it made their lights faster.

     

     

     

     

     

    It depends on your computer. ELS speed is dependant of your FPS, Higher FPS means ELS speed will be increased, Lower FPS means ELS speed will be decreased.

     

     

    Remember a lot of times you can use the search feature at the top of the site. Most of the time your question will be either answered, or there will be multiple other ways to achieve what you want

    ELS seems to be dead and it seems it will not receive any more updates.  Despite this, I would consider it unfinished.  We need access to more audio strings so we can have, for instance, a proper fire truck siren with a fire truck, and not police sirens.


    We also could very much use a functionality to allow AI to drive lights-only.

     

    Considering this, how difficult would it be to develop an ELS alternative?  I would think it could be coded to use the exact same VCF format that already exists, ensuring compatibility with current ELS vehicles, but with the possibility to add in these needed functionalities.

     

    In response the creator of ELS has real life obligations just like any other adult. Lt. Caine has always been good about coming out with great updates. He's not going to update a mod every week, plus he uses his free time to make a free mod for every one to enjoy. I am more than sure it will be updated.

    • Also you have to make sure that you replace the skin in the correct patchday
    • Like @Kallus Rourke stated the FLAG_HAS_LIVERY. If you go in the trainer, and the number under livery isn't changing that means you need to had that line to the vehicle. 
    • Sometimes modders will put skins in the ytd file that isn't mapped to the vehicle so make sure that you replace the skin with the right file.
