ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Imagine a video game where you hunt down and kill politicians.
There'd be hell to pay. Laws would change.
But cops? Fair game, I guess.
Brace yourselves for 25 to Life, coming soon to your video store.
Const. Clint Whitney, 31, York Regional Police, gets wind of it from a Texas cop newsletter. He tracks down a preview on the web, recoils, and calls me.
"I was dismayed," he says. "It goes against everything I stand for.
"I don't have kids myself, but there are thousands of kids under my protection as a police officer.
"I'm willing to put my life on the line for every single one of them.
"And then some video game comes along and gives them a taste of what it's like to take that life away from me."
Sit right down, ladies and gents, boys and girls.
Choose your weapon. Machinegun? Good choice.
Pretend to kill a cop. What fun.
Watch his blood gush. Finish him off with a 2-by-4 and a broken bottle."
