My point of view in regard to what happened, was that there was a man who had almost stabbed a police officer, Weber more specifically, and then was shot and downed. They attempted to heal him as he wasn't dead and you proceeded to intervene and drive over your friend. After this, you proceeded to drive about 100 yards away, turn around, and pile drive into the group. The alleged reason for this VDM was that "Weber had pointed a gun at you", however, the police officer was almost stabbed about 15-20 seconds ago and just still has his firearm out. I did not see this as a valid claim to run full speed into a proceeding arrest, nor did you show adequate relation to the arrested man, therefore, he was banned for 2 days for this incident.
Following this incident and ban, I had a discussion with fellow staff member, ChrisGM. Through our discussion, we came to a joint conclusion to extend the ban length due to a couple factors. 1) ChrisGM had personally seen you prop flying on numerous occasions 2) You had a bad track record in regard to your previous warns 3) The car situation was very blatant and intentional and could not have been misconstrued otherwise.
I have no hard feelings in regard to what happen and I stand by my decision as I collaborated with ChrisGM and Rem during the process. I will admit that I am new and still am working on finding appropriate ban times, but I feel as if I did what I could to ascertain what happened and issue the appropriate punishment.

I Understand your point of view of the situation fully, however, there are multiple flaws in this reasoning,
First of all, The fact that my friend attacked Weber, does not change anything in an OOC sense of server rules, As a Criminal in Rp, I Do not care what was happening or why it was happening, What I cared for was that someone I know is being Arrested, I also did not "Run over my friend" I tried to squeeze past him on the road and clipped the invisible part of his body in the first section of the video, Had I wanted to run him over there and then, I would have fully angled to the right and hit Weber too, Thus, I clearly had 0 intentions of committing any offenses on the server rules leading up to the point where I realized who was laying on the floor and had a loaded Firearm pointed at myself and 2 of my close friends, Presenting a Clear Threat to our own lives, and a Threat to my friend's freedom.
In Addition, I would like to address the fact that I did not intend for my friend to be killed as a result of the 2 police officers, and that was merely an instance of crossfire.
Secondly, The fact that I had priors for "Prop Surfing" and some un-named "Previous Warns" Adds nothing to this situation and does not add any additional reason as to why I should have been banned, as they are both completely unrelated to this particular situation.
Thus,
I Understand that you are relatively new to the Diverge Staff Team, and Understand why you may have thought that this was a breach of server rules, In the Future, Please bring the suspect of a Rule-Breaking to a rooftop and investigate the situation to hear both sides of the story.
I Stand by everything I have said and still believe that I should not have been banned as a result of this situation.
