Jackson Hirano and I were being arrested by Samuel Martin and Jason Steel. When we arrived at MRPD, they took me out of the car, and I started running around in circles and having fun. While I was doing that, Samuel Martin used /fl to take out his taser, ignoring the roleplay he was supposed to do when drawing it. This made the situation worse. It would have been as simple as using /me takes out taser charges, but Samuel Martin ignored that part of the roleplay.

Hello Admin,

First of all, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to review this report. I hope you're all doing well.

Since one of the clips used in this report is mine, and because I have previously been advised to be cautious about reporting police officers due to concerns of them afterwards vendetta gaming, I still felt it was important to share my perspective on what I believe to be powergaming and fail RP in this situation.

First, I'd like to point out that Mr. Martin does not roleplay restocking his taser in any way. Instead, he simply retrieves another taser while standing next to his police cruiser. On top of that, while he is supposedly "restocking" his taser, he continues dragging me along with him the entire time. This raises another question: if the police vehicle is locked, how is he accessing additional equipment without any roleplay to explain it?

Furthermore, I'd like to address what I believe to be the overall quality of roleplay shown by Mr. Martin during this interaction. While dragging me, he becomes frustrated that I am not following him, despite the fact that I am physically being dragged by his character. Rather than roleplaying the situation further or correcting it through RP, he instead strikes me unconscious, nearly killing my character, simply because I pointed out the issue.

Finally, I'd like to say that I find this particularly disappointing considering Mr. Martin's position within the Police Department. If this is the standard of roleplay being demonstrated by FM and High Command, it sets a poor example for other officers and negatively impacts the quality of roleplay on the server. Regardless of faction or rank, I believe everyone should be held to the same roleplay standards and lead by example.

Sincerly Jackson JJ Hirano
