Hello.|

So, I was observing the Officers attempting to arrest the man when suddenly two dudes show up.
One talks about shooting the Officers and the other one actually pulls out his shotgun and guns down both Police Officers.

You were banned because you showed up at the scene, pulled your gun and killed the cops for trying to arrest someone, which is not allowed.
No RP was done, no conversation, nothing.
Just shows up, and kills the cops.

The cops never threatened anyone, one simply pulled his gun in an attempt to have the person stop, which they should've since FearRP applies in that situation.
They never showed any intent on shooting the person or harming them, or whatever you want to say.

As I've said before, you just showed up and shot the cops for no apparent reason.

Alright after reviewing the clip it seems you saw a potential reason to kill to Officers while they weren't looking. I'll take the time to break down why this was RDM.

Firstly both people involved here aside from you, the user being arrested and the one who the cop pointed a weapon at, are Unknown to you, they aren't your friend or faction member and have no relation to you whatsoever. So going over the individual rules.

Quote:
1. You may not randomly kill someone without proper reason. (RDM


You were not directly related to the situation, you saw it and walked up. This is a random encounter.


Quote:3(D). For example, someone pointing a gun at you and threatening to kill you. This is an Active threat.


The Officer never pointed a weapon at you.


Quote:5. You may kill in self defense or in defense of your partners/faction/property.


As stated above, you bore no relation to those involved.

Quote:
6. You may not attack/start confrontations with people in order to kill them when they defend themselves. This is considered baiting.


Even if you did know the player who had the weapon pointed at him, both of you walked up to a random arrest and began trying to interfere and antagonize the cops into reacting. This would be considered baiting.


Finally, 

Quote:
12. In the same vein there are still times when you can't shoot police and it would be considered RDM. You may not KOS Police for no reason. They must be specifically targeting you or a faction member for arrest/takedown. You may not kill Officers for simply pulling you over or writing you a traffic citation. You may not kill Officers for giving you a lawful order. (Leave the area, put that away, Identify yourself, etc)


This isn't DarkRP. You can't walk around looking for reasons to kill Cops. They need to be allowed to do their job without random criminals gunning them down for no reason.
