Game Design Sketchbook: Police Brutality

[amance]

After viewing countless videos of police brutality, I think I've finally figured out how the police cause people to *resist*. It seems to be an unofficial technique that some cops use to cause resistance which they can then use to to justify there brutality. I'm going to call this technique S.C.R.U.M. standing for

S=Smother the perpetrator (4-5 cops on top of the perpetrator so videos do not show what is going on nor can onlookers see)

C=Choke the perpetrator so he/she can't yell for help nor tell onlookers what is happening.

R=cause resistance by these methods:
1. Crush testicles causing severe pain
2. Crush kneecap causing severe pain
3. Twist ankle or knee in attempt to break joint

U=render victim Unconscious with TASER or via choking

M=Murder

The bald cop with his back to you can be seen squeezing and crushing the testicles of Deacon. Anyone would thrash around if someone did this to them.

You are not legally allowed to resist arrest nor removal from public places if it is obvious you are causing trouble like the idiot in the video. It is not legal to obstruct authorities from doing their job.

It was rather obvious he was being a loud, obnoxious ass and a big drama queen.

The animal video analogy was way off as well. You can't realistically compared a Predator-Prey relationship to a public-nuisance vs legal authority reaction.

The people who try to keep the peace already have it hard enough without the anti-rational, unpragmatic, sympathy-for-the-devil witch-hunters swooping in to spin every situation way out of proportion to make whatever agenda they fanatically espouse seem more digestible.

If only the energy and talents that wen6t into making the cop-hater game went into making a stop the robber. Trust me when I say that criminals won't treat you half as nice if you sit in a doorway blocking their exit.

That is what is funny with people. Criminals get more respect and glory then authorities because they are genuinely afraid of the former but feel they can get away with being stupid if the later have enough laws, lawyers, and red tape hamstringing them.

Hooray

Great, simple little game
i think you did well in reflecting how crowds behave in a very simplified dynamic.
As for all the rest well the 'Angry internet men' certainly latched onto this one.
