as you have written it, not a role.

Can we just change the cop to investigator and pretend that, like real world cops, the cops decided to arrest a person and left it up to the District Attorney Investigation Unit to figure out if they arrested the right guy?

Regardless of if they are good or bad apples, they are apples nonetheless. If the tree they fall from is plagued by issues, then the fruit will reflect it. In this case, that tree is the system and culture built within the police which any new member of the force is subjected to.

I dont think anyone would disagree that cops in the US, for example, should be trained for much longer if they are going to have the capacity to use lethal force in the manner typically employed today. Or admitting there have been a number of high profile cases that cops frabicated evidence and putting stops to that. The goal should be focusing on improving and changing that system/culture which I think personally is happening today.

(Also scum rolecop is a common cop variant used on the mafia side in regards to cop named roles

Thanks mods, great leadership! The term is racially charged and violent, and I'm really happy to not use it anymore.

Please reserve this thread for discussion of the new Mafia rule. We have created a new thread for the topic of police legitimacy/ACAB etc. All posts in this thread will be relocated to it.

Apparently even the people that just want to play mafia can't avoid the spillover from USPOL. At least it's gonna be real easy to quit mafia now.

Can that thread be moved to not in the speakeasy

Blair · Post Post #191 (ISO) » Tue Jun 30, 2020 10:56 am

Cop > Doxxer
Lynch > Cancel
Scum > Problematic

Problem solved.

I doxxed Albert B. Rampage last night and discovered he is problematic! We need to cancel him today.

VOTE: Albert B. Rampage

Doctor please protect me tonight.

before I make a judgement, I need to know if this is a it's gonna be real easy to quit mafia now because you can't use lynch or it's gonna be real easy to quit mafia now because people will be complaining they can't use lynch

Both. I want to talk about mafia in mafia games. I'd prefer that be one of the few places I don't have to worry about USPOL or any of the other crazy shit going on right now.

was thinking since its an extension of a public rule discussion and multiple people from here won't have access might make more sense

The decision to avoid having to deal with political issues is in itself a political action.
