shouting loudly

Several politicians and groups advocating for law enforcement officials have spoken out against 25 to Life, a cops-and-robbers game that allows players to act as a good cop hunting down evil criminals – or, alternatively, a drug dealer with a heart of gold battling against crooked cops. Some legislative bodies have proposed bills to publicly condemn (but not outlaw) the game, including one signed to law in Pennsylvania. Laws to restrict the sales of violent games, including games that specifically depict the injury of law officers, have so far been overturned as unconstitutional.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports, however, that all the “outrage” has actually boosted the sales of an otherwise “boring” and poorly-rated game.
