Abraham Goldbergstein PK Appeal

[Mascotics]

■ Initiating a shootout or violent confrontation with Police can lead to a PK.

Was this not a violent confrontation?

Here is the full rule:

Initiating a shootout or violent confrontation with Police can lead to a PK. Killing or attacking an Officer after initiating a violent confrontation leaves you PK active from officers for about 15 minutes. Generally we want people to not immediately go for the gun when dealing with Police, as a result if you escalate a situation to a shootout and lose you can be punished via PK as your character was killed. This does not apply if it is the Police that fired first or escalated to a shootout.

Pre-text to you opening the door with your weapons already drawn ready to fire, you had no reason to believe anything of that nature would happen. So, I would question why the weapons were drawn to begin with. You can't base your behavior off of he said / she said in Roleplay. You have to form your own facts. With the obvious block on the windows, you didn't have a reason to be in a ready to fire position.

The last sentence also tells the entire story of this appeal - to which you admitted to. "This does not apply if it is the Police that fired first..."
