This shows what cops really care about, the adrenaline of a gun fight. They are supposed to protect and serve first.

I take it you literally don't know a single cop in real life. No one wants to be shot at because people don't like to die.

Streaming, with horrible internet in a lot of the world, with data caps? Did they NOT learn anything with the whole always on XBO thing????


That's why there's still the other model as an option.

Choices are hard.

Interesting. The streaming console could be a real game-changer if they truly have solved the major issues with latency

This. It would essentially mean handheld gaming with the power of a traditional console. If the experience is near-seamless it could be a game changer.

Police need better firearms training

Do you know what inevitably happens when police are given better tools and equipment to engage armed suspects safely? People complain about the "militarization of the police". They complain that police are using M4 carbines from their trunks even though it is a far more reliable and accurate weapon to take out a suspect at 10 or 15 yards. They complain that the armored cars that allow them to safely engage standoff suspect are "intimidating". There is no way to satisfy people when it comes to the police despite police going through far more risks to prevent collateral damage than nearly anyone realizes.

Well they should blame the criminal for putting everyone in that position... sorry that things aren't like movies. If only the cop could bend the bullet I guess.

this just reminds me of Ruby Ridge when 2 men were fleeing into a house and a sniper shot at them through the closed door not knowing what was on the other side, and a wife inside unarmed was shot instead of the 2 men. plus the men were fleeing. it was a total shit show. ever since Ruby Ridge, cops have been getting away with killing people during shootouts. in video games when you play a cop and you kill a bystander, you get a game over. but in real life, your don't get punished. this means video games are actually more realistic than real life. that's the world we live in

Your perception of reality is informed by video games. All I can tell you is that media like video games and movies are not an accurate representation of reality and you should really know this by now.

The police needed to engage the armed suspect. In a firefight it's impossible to account for every bullet, even for the most skilled operator. However, letting the suspect escape is a worse alternative considering suspects very often do take hostages. A hostage situation has a far greater capacity for loss of life than a shootout, and we know this because it is a scenario that has played out dozens of times in the past.
