I get it but I totally disagree. I think that a good 75% of cops will RP but under the right circumstances, because unpopular opinion; cop is not a faction to make significant amounts of money. When people CONSTANTLY just kill you because of your siren, how do you expect us to RP?
The other day I was running radar and saw a guy speeding. I actually clocked him speeding. I went to pull him over, and right when my siren was activated they started to shoot out of the back of the Quilin and I literally just left. I refused to chase them and just said "**** it" and this is exactly the problem. The problem is the CIVILIANS not the cops. Everyone is too quick to judge APD but they aren't looking at big picture. I will not lie, there are a good chunk of cops who don't really RP and just suck to get on cop with. I experience it first hand. Honestly tho, that falls on our FTO's and the people mentoring deputies. Personally, when I have deputies I make WATCH me process so they can get a feel for what good RP is. I let them roll with me and my friends so they can get what it means to actually have some RP even if its light. As long as a civilian is WILLING to RP so am I. When I show up to a black market, my exact line is "APD hands up or be tased. If you shoot, chances for negotiating are over just put your hands up we can talk" but yet I still get shot at? That isn't an APD problem its a Civ problem. The few people who have put their hands up I work with. I don't give them extra charges, I don't take their guns, and usually try to half ticket them. Its a mutual thing for me yano? You work with me I work with you. We need to be mentoring deputies to give the opportunity to RP but under NO circumstances does every single civilian we come across DESERVE an RP situation. If that civ wont even try, then ok I can make your life suck for the next 30 minutes you're in jail once I tack on these extra charges.
So look big picture. Is it the civ faction or the cop faction? As a whole?
