the thing is, that we have very different opinions on the police. I do not believe the problems with the police state come down to "a few bad apples" but this isn't the place to get into that more deeply than I already have. I would not make a drawing game about "why we should report criminals" because it does not fall into my belief system or artistic practice.
the title is meant to be inflammatory, but if you actually take a closer read at the content of the game, it is about interrogating our instincts to control other people in the name of community safety. it is not a game that tries to prove that police and prisons should be abolished. (although I do believe in abolition.) rather, it asks the player to self reflect -- there is no right or wrong answer and it is not literally about the police. based on your comment it seems like you did not play the game or read all the prompts. but thank you for taking the time to comment in a respectful manner.

cops don't provide emergency medical care in America, which are the cops this game is addressing. in fact, our cops prevent EMTs (emergency medical technicians) from providing life-saving care to people the police shot, resulting in their deaths. our police are a state-sanctioned gang of murderers who 1) only solve 2% of major crimes 2) murder more than a thousand people per year, 60% of which did not have a gun or were not involved in a situation that needed police and 3) 40% of police officers violently abuse their wives and kids.
so if there was a looter and they shot me for some reason, there is absolutely no way an American cop would help the situation. besides, why would a looter shoot me, they're just trying to steal stuff!
