I'd be more concerned about how shitty-looking the texture work is when the lights start flashing, personally. If you're gonna portray cops, at least texture the cars properly.

Nice, Fairfax county is where I grew up, not surprised to see the PD's get "Outraged" by it though.

"More than the simple appearance of the cars, cops are upset at some of the things the car's riders are doing, such as stepping out of the vehicle in full police uniform and gunning down innocent civilians, something that the police want to assure us they do NOT do. "


ROFL. Thx for the reassurance

I just want to be sure that people don't believe everything they see. I mean, when I see a video-game version of something, I usually have to be restrained from violent outbursts because I can't tell the difference between reality and fiction. I'm glad that people are making this clear for me, I surely cannot be trusted to judge the difference on my own.

That's the official statement, and in practice 90% of the officers love to drive around in their own cruisers in the game and fuck shit up. Just like officially, cops don't do drugs or drink and drive right?

They cause thier own contraversy but complaining about it. serious who'ld of even thought of looking up these mods? especially for SA when gta 4 is out? I wouldnt be suprised if it took Jim a while to find the video when looking for it unless he knew what to search for / was pre shown the video.

Tough shit, cops. That's just the nature of PC/Mod games. Your objection is noted, but you are reading too much into.

Damn, do they fear a potential cop killer from video games or what.

Police brutality has never been more fun. Kicking the living shit out of civilians and gang bangers, and getting away with it.

This probably won't apply to 90% of you, so if you want to hear my rant, read on if not just move on.

1. Like Drauglim pointed out the game is San Andreas, not GTA IV...It was pretty obvious by the video(The drastic HUD difference)...
2. http://www.4shared.com/dir/8820679/8b71e738/sharing.html That's the sharing site. This particular skin was uploaded August, 2008 (He also has dozens of other skins, which he makes per request...including 'Japanese'). So it's old news. (While new news for NBC who just ran this story)
3. There's no need for this news, it's just people stirring the shit pot again. The skins are almost a year old, Rockstar did not make these or endorse these. This is just proof that 'yellow journalism' is continuing to ruin our brains.

I'm starting to think that we as a gaming community are adding to the problem of negative video game reporting in the news. Every time someone even mentions a video games, the whole community is up in arms about how bad it is for them, and how everyone is out to get them. Again, I'm not speaking about the Destructoid community. Gamepolitics is hurting the 'gamer image', and not helping it. This is because of their biased reporting which seeks to just counteract the general media's perception of gamers, and not actively trying to fix it. I've been loosing all my respect for Gamepolitics as it continues to promote the ECA as the only way gamers can save themselves from the 'cruel world'. The only way we can fix this misconception is if we are willing to grow up as a community and be reasonable.

These cops are risking their lives, everyday to protect us. And we can't at least understand why they are hurt by this? Most cops aren't out to get you. Yes, there are some bad cops and those are the only ones we hear about, but again, not everyone is out to get you. God, I sound like I'm talking to a bunch of schizophrenic patients. And cops, calm down, only the truly mentally distributed are going to take this serious. 99.99% of people will not be affected by playing this mod.
