DryBomber5 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 As I was driving home from work today I drove by two cop cars stopped with their lights flashing and GTA 5 immediately came to mind. I'm currently studying criminal justice right now in college and hope to be a law enforcement officer some day and I was wondering if cops actually play GTA or video games at all? They have the most stressful jobs and probably don't have the time nor interest in video games, being that their career is their top priority. Any law enforcement officers out there, please respond to this post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocsd4085 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yes, there will be. You see, we live out the things we cannot do IRL through GTA. Keeps us in check so we can be ready for those who really do show their dark side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Kindled_ Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Are you an idiot? Police Officers are normal people you know. Why would they not? Congratulations this is the most retarded thread I've ever seen on the forum. You have to be such a dick at the OP? He was just asking a simple question. Jesus, this forum.

DryBomber5 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Are you an idiot? Police Officers are normal people you know. Why would they not? Congratulations this is the most retarded thread I've ever seen on the forum. Where on earth did I infer that cops are not normal people? I simply stated that cops have one of the most stressful jobs (depending on location, of course) than most people and that it probably has an impact on their daily life. I'm studying it and I'm pretty sure you aren't a cop, so I find it disrespectful that you think that someone who risks their life everyday can just play video games like its nbd.

Why would it be disrespectful to suggest that cops can play video games? I would suggest that having a stressful job is even more reason to play video games. And you inferred that they aren't normal people with the premise of the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apfeltasche Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yes of course, why they shouldn't? My brother in law is at the german "BKA"(In a high position), it's like the FBI in the USA. And he loves GTA und we often play GTA 4 online. One of my best friends is a normal police officer and plays GTA too. But I think we are played a bit different. We don't have fun with punshing or shooting people, we have normal fun with driving cars etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBensalot Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well I have a friend that is a firefighter, and he roleplays as a firefighter in a game we play as well. I'd assume the same may apply to cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingsickness Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Sometime ago there was a thread by a pig and I think the discussion was along the same thing as what the OP started I think the pig said something to the affect of that it lets him escape reality and he doesn't have to think about his job at that moment. Like a stress reliever. Then (i think) someone asked if he shoots cops in the game and he said yeah, and people acted like that was a big deal. The fact is that a police understands that this is a game and not some training simulator of perpetuate violence. Many people look at GTA as a escape from reality and that's how pigs look at it too, I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpalmer2004 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 People are under the impression that fire, police and ems personnel are of higher values. When in fact we are Normal weirdos with latex gloves guns and fire hoses. I've gotten lap dances from hooter girls while on duty in the station. There is nothing I like more then drinking a beer and shooting people in the face in gta after a long day of dealing with idiot patients.

snow miser Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Of course police officers will be playing. The typical patrol officer's life is not consumed by work. They go home from duty and play video games and watch tv just like civilians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
