Don’t Shoot the Cops!
So, today I discovered that Washington (the state) inacted a law banning the sale of video games containing violence against cops to people under 17. Now, I’m fairly down with people being able to protect their kids from things, but this is a bit rediculous. I mean, why just against cops? Are they really claiming that playing these games causes kids to attack cops? That’s rediculous. I’ve wanted to do nasty things to cops before, but that’s always because they’re assholes, not because of video games. (Note, not all cops are assholes. Not all cops I’ve dealt with are assholes. However, all the cops I’ve wanted to do nasty things to were assholes.) The proper solution is to have proper training and screening for cops, and pay them decently, so that assholes don’t become cops, not to screen video games.
Now, I’m in the school that claims that kids are too sheltered in this country. I belive it’s up to the parents what your kids can see and do, but much of this is constrained by law. I really wish they wouldn’t legislate their morals onto my kids. But, there’s nothing I can do about laws in Washington, so I guess I should shut up about this. Besides, the last few attempts to ban video games were overturned by the courts, so maybe this one will be too.
