That's cool and all but Chicago PD broke into an office and turned it into their personal bar while there was rioting going on. I have dealt with the Sheriff's Department most of the time I have been working here, and I know they wouldn't do that. I showed a LT a newspaper story where the local police raided the wrong house and arrested a guy for dropping a mushroom on the floor. He asked me how long was the original target gone from the address. I was like a month. He shook his head. They had to shoot a guy two months ago. Never once did I doubt that the SO did the wrong thing.
 
I see a guy standing on someone's neck because he wanted to and I know that guy was a piece of crap.  It doesn't matter to me what anybody else says about their relatives, fellow police, the president. All that matters is at no point should anybody be standing on a guy's neck, and any defense is either stupid, or evil.

They are supposed to be for violent drug offenders who might fight back if given a chance. So instead of knocking on the door and announcing yourself like you should, you knock the door down and charge in.
 
The problem is if the citizen being raided is armed, then busting into their house provokes self defense which ends up in shooting.
 
They tried to get a guy in Texas once and it turned out they raided the wrong house, the detective lied about the activity, and no one had realized where the home owner was when they threw in the flash bangs. And he shot up three or four guys on the raid team. They charged him with murder, and he basically sued the county for false arrest and attempted murder of himself and won.
 
You literally do not have to have a no knock warrant for most of the cases that they are being used for because they aren't hitting fortified crack houses in the middle of the urban jungle

Word is coming in that the police are shooting at providers of first aid at the protests. Good job, police. I thought you were supposed to give first aid, not block it.

This is sort of an aside, but I remember getting tired of reading harry bosch because in every book at least one of the other cops was the villain, or had done something wrong. Now I am thinking Connelly was underselling how bad the LAPD actually is.

I usually throw these in my supers campaign like the heroes used a house like the house from Mystic Masters as their base, they dealt with expeditions into the Underworld, and genetic scientists (sometimes the same guy over multiple campaigns) likes to use Pickachu as a guard dog/ enforcer.

"Wah! We're going to quit the Emergency Response because a couple of us got suspended for cracking an old man's head open! Wah!"
 
There are things I would like to say about this, so many things.

Grady Shorn is The Borrower. He is naturally six inches tall, but can borrow height from those around him, shrinking them in the process.

an hour late? heck, sometimes if its on time.

Because  the police are not supposed to stand on your neck until you are dead after they take you out of the patrol car that they already put you in. 
 
I'm sorry about David Dorn but a looter isn't a protestor. They're thieves. The police are supposed to hold themselves to higher standards and not be murderers

Kim Kinnison for security

Wesley Crusher was the greatest plot device ever. I am surprised at you heathens

Realistically, the only thing the President could say right now that might end the violence is "I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow."

Good luck. here in nc the rate kept climbing. At one point we were marking 50+ new cases a day

So many years ago (during 5th edition revised) I got an idea for a campaign.  
 
A few false starts
 
Decided to make it a book (never happened)
 
Started it about a year and a half ago.
 
In the first time in 40 years of gaming, a campaign ended at a natural end...I have NEVER had that happen before in any RPG

Nature has some new plague
To run in our streets
History some new wrinkle
We are doomed to repeat   Fugitives at the bedroom door
Lovers pause to find an open store
Rain is burning on the forest floor
And the red tide kisses the shore   This is not a false alarm
This is not a test   Stay out of the sun
It only burns my skin
Sky full of poison
And the atmosphere's too thin   Bless the sun, the rain no more
River running like an open sore
Black wind falling through the ocean floor
And the red tide washes ashore   This is not a false alarm
This is not a test
  Nowhere we can fly away
Nowhere we can rest
The party is disrupted by
An uninvited guest   Deadline approaches
For the weary land
It used to be something
But we let it run down in our hands   Too late for debate, too bad to ignore
Quiet rebellion leads to open war
Bring a sea-change to the factory floor
As the red tide covers the shore   Now is the time to turn the tide
Now is the time to fight
Let us not go gently
To the endless winter night   Now is the time to make the time
While hope is still in sight
Let us not go gently
To the endless winter night   Let us not go gently
To the endless winter night
