"Cop killing - for kids"

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."
