I’ve personally played both sides of the coin and can honestly say that 95% of SD/PD will play fair and often give the benefit of the doubt, or have RP in the forefront of everything they do.
That being said, I was absolutely gob smacked by a select few individuals and their clear play to win mentality. For example, their was a hostage situation at a bank, and I was looking forward to the eventual chase (as was most, I can only assume) Before this could happen, someone in charge decided to just shoot the lock off the door and barge into the bank, instantly ending the RP situation and putting things to an end.
In other situations, where one individual being chased by about 10 units exited their vehicle with a .50 in hand - some units dismounted with carbines, shotguns and other heavy weapons - again, not even a snowballs chance in hell of any other outcome.
What’s very unfortunate is the actions of a few select individuals within these factions tarnish the reputation of many.
So what’s the answer?!
In short, fuck knows man!
We've been debating this back and forth for what? 4 years?! I guess the only solution is to bring the injustice to the forums? Perhaps somewhere different than the regular player reports we have, for an unbiased opinion with actual OOC justice served if found guilty. I do feel some report you see of issues like these are slightly biased in my humble opinion, so would need to be a jury that is 100% unbiased.
