Ok so I played on cop for a few hours operating in sydney, and I have to say that the way civilians interpret VLR is not good enough.
Tonight's example. bunch of people decided to have a shoot out. so officers respond. however the gunfire attracts more civilians. WHY. VLR GUYS.
VALUE YOUR LIFE
if you have one life, are you seriously going to run towards the chaos. No, you run away. And in the event that you are caught in the middle of a fire fight, put your hands on your head or go prone. Don't look like a threat and you will be fine.
Another thing that bothers me. People have the audacity to winge and say cops can't role play, after they get tazed and restrained. First of all, if you are running around like an idiot in a combat zone and get tazed or killed by a cop don't complain, don't say you are being unlawfully detained. Just by you being there makes you a potential threat/suspect. if you don't want to die, go to jail or receive a ticket don't be there.
I'm over the constant abuse cops receive from civilians for being S@#t cops as they say, or threaten to take us to helpdesk or command. Or say that our role play is bad when we shoot them. When we are getting swarmed and trolled by civilians. It makes cops very on edge. when any one could be RDM ed any second, we have to value our lives by eliminating any potential threats. so if you die in those circumstances. TOUGH, IT'S YOUR FAULT.
VLR GUYS
