{{Gripe}}If you run away from the cops they shoot at you, even if you don't have a gun. Killing people just because they freak out is illegal

:{{Rebut}}Actually, they hold their fire when you're at one star, unless you start assaulting them.

:{{Rebut}}Niko isn't just some criminal. The cops know who he is (I've heard them yelling his name and the like). This probably explains why he gets arrested for minor violations like bumping into a police car (which, if light, seems like something that would only be a ticket). Therefore, if he tries to resist arrest, the police are allowed to shoot at him. They don't really become extremely aggressive until 3 or 4 stars (though when you get up there they really want you dead, to the point where getting arrested is next to impossible).

{{Gripe}}The cops don't know Niko's name. I've gotten into hundreds of chases and no one's ever called his name.

::::{{Gripe}}No, cops don't know who Niko is, even when you kill them whenever it is mission-based, so how do you supposed that cops have the right to shoot at Niko, just because he freaks out? Degraded realism, that is.

{{Gripe}}Policemen sometimes shoot and kill security guards.

:::{{Rebut}}Wait, what kind of security guards have a gun in the first place, unless they're the Secret Service or something? Some security guards do not have the authority to kill civilians, even if they are committing a crime. That's the police department's job.

::::{{Gripe}}Do a Google search on 'armed security guard' to see what a common job it is before you go calling someone else up on ignorance.

:::::{{Rebut}} I think its because the game confuses the guards for regular pedestrian. It happens to me all the time. Hope this helps!

::::::{{Gripe}}No, it did'nt help at all. Cops always mistake security guards for a gang member, and the security guard always attempts to shoot me on purpose, just to get the cops/other gangs attention. That's another unrealistic attempt by Rockstar Games.

{{Gripe}} Pointing a gun at a civilian near a police officer merits no response! I can't believe that he would just stand around like that.
