You know you have the option to reject almost any call from the mayor, right?

Oh, you responded to the riots?
Well, the city is going to try and sue you for doing your job.
Oh you don't have enough officers to respond to calls now?
Well, we are cutting your budget so you have even less officers.

And this is supposed to be FUN?

I know right, I bought a Call of Duty game. It was nothing but shooting people! Whats up with that?

You do realize cops and heads of police departments get ♥♥♥♥ regardless of what choices they make in real life too, right? You can't please everyone, and you don't have to say yes to everything everyone asks of you. The game even tells you this. Did you give every officer who asked a day off too?

No, He's right. This isn't fun. At first it was great, but currently down to 5 cops on each shift because the mayors requests, that need 3 cops to even attempt, pop up 3 seconds after two other events pop. Poor design. That being said, I am going to try 2. Hopefully its better. Only paid $2 for this so whatevs.

I never seem to have a problem with shortage of cops. I hate saying this but...skill issue.

Also, you do realise you dont have to do the "black" mayor requests, right?

I'm gonna repeat my self, you know you have the option to reject almost any request from the mayor and still have good reputation with him if you do other requests that doesn't involve into firing?

I always wondered if it was even possible to do above board, and I don't think it is. You will have to fire someone illegally to accomplish it. I tried by making every black officer and detective work every shift, while on the final day someone will almost inevitably show up to work drunk or skip work, it never seems to be both of the people you need, just one if any. The others can be legally fired by age, or used on the bouncer job that makes someone quit, and most will eventually show up drunk or skip if you make them work every shift, but it seems to be hard programmed that it won't be all.

you can make people work a double shift too. you get fresh recruits the same days you get paid and are able to make city hall requests. You can say no when an officer asks for the day off. You can still let a drunk officer work but their performance will be impacted.

You are not going to be able to solve every crime with a nice safe bow. Some will get away, some civillians will die, some of your officers will. It's about putting the right resources in the right places. Learn what crimes are fake so if you replay a day, you know not to send someone. Judge whether you actually need to fill out every officer slot for a call. If SWAT is being opened up for it, it's probably a big one but still doesn't necessarily need a full roster, especially if you also deploy SWAT. That liquor store towards the beginning where you have choices? Can be done with two high quality officers, one mid, and SWAT if you pick the right choices. it allows you to send a full roster.

GROW A SPINE. I played this game 3 times already and NEVER did those stupid complaints. You can find yourself in this negative selfinflicting spiral, but managing to work it through is suppose to be fun for some people, yeah.
Sometimes i want just to play a most villainous cop ever and look how much $$$ i would make and get away with BS as much and as long as i can, but in the end play lawful every time.
Games are not meant to be fun for everyone, you should know that
