there is a Mob War going on between a young upstart and an old mobster. I chose to support the young guy because I liked the movie no country for old men and the dark knight and in both of those movies the new guy tends to win. at first I had to choose one side , but when playing the next few days I figured out that I can change my support for the other guy and now my goal is to just stay alive and on the winning side at the end.
Ethically it got me thinking, shouldn't I be taking both of them down? After solving a couple of murders I started thinking about what evidence I could use to take them down and with every scenario I knew that at the end the cops would kill me. My station staff and even the mayor is pretty crooked so if I make any moves against the mob I would be spotted and killed..... Is it ethically right to keep my head down?

Played a bit farther into the game and now i'm dealing with angry feminists, a mob war, but most of those decisions are at a higher level and i make each one individually based on my best interests, but something that does bother me ethically is how I handle the everyday crimes such as robberies or noise complaints. I notice that I like to send the cops of color to the shadier neighborhoods more and the Caucasian cops to the higher income districts. In my mind i think that i the rougher neighborhoods, a cop of color would be easier to talk to and vice versa. Am I being racist due to wanting to get maximum effectiveness from my officers?

Started this is the Police, I picked this game because the art style appealed to me and so far it is a good choice.
The game captivates me with its Casablanca type storytelling and its gritty humor about life. As a 23 year old I sometimes feel old when surrounded by 18 year old freshmen and this game makes me feel right at home as a 60 year old police chief.
Its a resource management game which means that things are gonna get crazy real soon. I made it all the way to the 5th day and the mayor and my wife's mother are both telling me to not do anything stupid which means that i'm going to have some tough decisions coming up soon.
When racist protesters inciting riots made me fire all of my black employees i felt torn. I didn't want to fire them because it wasn't right, but I also didn't want them to be killed at the job. This is right at the start of the game so I wonder how bad things are going to get as I play more. I just know that the mob is going to be involved somewhere down the line. Can't an old man just retire in peace? At least the music is good.
