Can we just change the cop to investigator and pretend that, like real world cops, the cops decided to arrest a person and left it up to the District Attorney Investigation Unit to figure out if they arrested the right guy?
I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.

Regardless of if they are good or bad apples, they are apples nonetheless. If the tree they fall from is plagued by issues, then the fruit will reflect it. In this case, that tree is the system and culture built within the police which any new member of the force is subjected to.

I dont think anyone would disagree that cops in the US, for example, should be trained for much longer if they are going to have the capacity to use lethal force in the manner typically employed today. Or admitting there have been a number of high profile cases that cops frabicated evidence and putting stops to that. The goal should be focusing on improving and changing that system/culture which I think personally is happening today.

(Also scum rolecop is a common cop variant used on the mafia side in regards to cop named roles

Thanks mods, great leadership! The term is racially charged and violent, and I'm really happy to not use it anymore.

Please reserve this thread for discussion of the new Mafia rule. We have created a new thread for the topic of police legitimacy/ACAB etc. All posts in this thread will be relocated to it.

Apparently even the people that just want to play mafia can't avoid the spillover from USPOL. At least it's gonna be real easy to quit mafia now.

Cop > Doxxer
Lynch > Cancel
Scum > Problematic

Problem solved.
I doxxed Albert B. Rampage last night and discovered he is problematic! We need to cancel him today.

VOTE: Albert B. Rampage

Doctor please protect me tonight.

Both. I want to talk about mafia in mafia games. I'd prefer that be one of the few places I don't have to worry about USPOL or any of the other crazy shit going on right now.

The decision to avoid having to deal with political issues is in itself a political action.
