First off, things like this aren't appropriate (CeriEdwardsx/DwarfBitch).
People getting salty and libelous because they fail on a ballsy impulse is just not on.
The mayor was not in danger,
When a political figure is nearby someone committing a firearm offense, yes, they have to be considered to be in immediate danger.
and took our weapons which are expensive.
Simple: your fault, don't stand around the mayor with guns on your person. You had no real reason to do this as far as I can tell, and you were violating the law by having them concealed on your person whilst not in transit.
Are swat not supposed to get a report before moving out?
No.
Then you take cover behind all the civilians while taking fire,
To be fair, there was no reason to shoot him
in the first place. These so called 'civilians' should have fled and not stayed in his way as soon as shots were being fired, it's not his fault and there's not much more he could have done to stay in accordance with rule 3.4.
You are not allowed to do anything other than respond to police callouts as a SWAT officer, you cant just run around and play do random checks.
It was very appropriate to deploy.
You didn't tell us anything about what we did or anything, so we tried to kill you.
He doesn't need to do that while you're being detained, if you were so bothered about that you should have waited and done the more appropriate thing after if he still didn't give you a reason (i.e. make a complaint to a supervisor).
You even used me as a human shield.
You should have made
SOME attempt to flee.
We didn't have any reason to kill the mayor.
He had no way of knowing that, he deployed in response to the violation of a firearm law. PERP is not Cluedo, it is a roleplaying server - you act as you would IRL, and you can't know everything IRL.
Think about you're Obama, and you see a gang of criminals, and then you think it's a good idea just to walk towards them and be annoying and play with a fire extinguisher for fun.
You should report that separately.
It doesn't make the way you acted appropriate at all, and will not be applicable as an excuse.
Meanwhile, how does he
know that you are a group of criminals? You're stood next to a car.
Call the police?!?!
And I was simply following orders, when we tried to shoot him.
A question that can be derived from rule 3.4 when excuses akin to this come up: 'would you jump off a cliff if someone asked you to?'
Rule 3.4 doesn't just 'not apply' because someone else has done the thinking for you. You need to act on your own thoughts and perceptions; you can't always rely on others. Basically, you are accountable for
the entirety of your own actions.
I wouldn't say we handled the situation unrealisticly, since we all drove to the police station (6-7 guys) and would follow the guy when he left the station. But he crashed his car at the station, so we acted there. We were never putting our own lives more at risk, than going to the bazar.
Killing him doesn't benefit you in any way: you just become wanted. Simple as.
