Even if the player arrested every possible suspect and only shot when they really needed to, the scene would still end with an explosive chase scene. It&#8217;s just absurd to have Dawes show up at the very end of that chase and complain that the suspect&#8217;s face was bruised. We&#8217;re supposed to be worried about Kai, but there&#8217;s no way she could possibly be responsible for as much damage as the player.<\/p>\n<p><em>So Officer Mendoza&#8230; I see here on your report that you &#8211; and stop me if I&#8217;m reading this wrong &#8211; gunned down 12 men and did tens of thousands of dollars of damage to a hotel lobby. Then you took an automatic weapon from the crime scene and used it to kill another half dozen men in a public place. After which you stole a civilian vehicle and initiated a chase which caused five explosions, the death of ten more people, and the destruction of untold city property, including a construction trailer. Also you allege that Officer Kai punched a suspect and hit him with a lightweight wastepaper basket? Based on your report, we&#8217;re giving her a two day paid suspension, and you&#8217;re sentenced to fifty years in the electric chair.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link (YouTube) Thanks to Chris for editing these episodes while Josh was recovering from&#8230; whatever.
