Yesterday, the Christian Police Association (Christlicher Polizeiverband) put out a statement that the game "The Darnkess 2" should be banned, because you can shoot police officers. [quote]Especially now, when police officers in England are the target of frenzied violence, it is important that we are not represented as an enemy the player must shoot at[/quote] says Felix Ceccato, President of the Christian Police Association. Only problem is: [B]There are no police officers in Darkness 2[/B], according to a statement of the games publisher, 2K. Oops. [quote=Translated from gamezone.de]Yesterday we reported on the claim of the Christian Police Association of Switzerland, who sought to ban The Darkness 2 because of its explicit depiction of violence against police officers this week. Felix Ceccato, president of the CPV, said: "Especially now, when police in England are the target of frenzied violence, it is important that we are not represented as an enemy, the player is allowed to shoot." Thomas Richter of the Swiss Institute for Violence Prevention supported this action: "It is unacceptable that a group of people is fair game." Clarified in a phone interview with 2K Games, we were able to find out that the Swiss police criticized the game probably groundless. In The Darkness 2 namely appear no policemen. Ergo, violence against police officers can not happen at all.[/quote] [url]http://www.gamezone.de/news_detail.asp?nid=101207[/url] If somebody can find an english source, I'd be happy to add it.
But Postal 2 is ok. Where you can pour gasoline on a limbless police officer, burn the body, and then piss all over it.
Postal 2 isn't recent and was banned in several places.
I go into the GTA4 hospitals, take hostages then kill some paramedics. Then I wait for the poe-lice to come down and try and kill me. I shoot cops in a video game, does this make me a bad person?

They probably played the first one and assume a sequal is the same but longer.
The darkness was such an awesome game.

Perhaps they're trying to stop people from throwing the game at real police officers?
They should add police now
