This thread is in relation to this article from Eurogamer featuring comments from the West Yorkshire police.

It is centered around the Reservoir Dogs game which as you have guessed is gonna be pretty violent.
"It sends out the message that the police and authority figures are there to be targeted and dispatched, desensitises people to the idea of killing and undermines normal moral values," Willis added. He also suggested that those playing Reservoir Dogs would be encouraged to behave in the same way as those who murdered PCs Sharon Beshenivsky and Ian Broadhurst."
Comments such as those really do anger me, oh yes im playing a violent game well now i feel like going out a murdering a police officer. Its like the manhunt stuff again i just find it crazy, i think its mad that police officers would relate the game directly to the murder of Sharon Beshenivsky and Ian Broadhurst.
Clearly they cant come out and blame the goverment for the increasing crime rates so i guess they see Video games as the easy target, yeah it must be those videogames that are causing all this crime.
