Hello.
I appreciate you making the report against me. As we discussed in TeamSpeak - if you do genuinely feel as if a I've broken a rule, I'm happy for you to seek staff opinions/judgement on the whole thing.
Just want to make a few (well, it started out as few...) points clear to whoever looks into this report.
This incident took place roughly around: 28/05/22 - 00:15 to 00:20
The provided video evidence is my point of view of the whole situation, and I'll try and explain things from my point of view via time-stamps on the provided video.
6:56 before - nothing happening, separate situation
6:59 onwards - me conducting a stop and search on who I believe to be your gangmate/friend etc.
7:56 - you and a friend pull up to help your friend and get him freed from custody.
This is the 'crucial point' to this whole report I believe, you made it clear on TS that you have issues with me dis-obeying your command to free you friend when you believed you had credible threat over me.
I disobeyed your command and attempted to flee - as I made the judgement call that you did not pose an imminent and actual threat to my life at the time you gave your commands to me.
When you issued your command to "let your friend go" - you had yourself on a bike with no weapon, effectively posing no threat to me. And you had your friend who was positioned out of effective range with his machete. It is at this point I chose to risk my life and run away. By the time you are yelling at me to 'dont run/stop running' , I had already gotten well clear of any threat This was successful in the short-term, as I did manage to escape what was the immanent threat to my life, your friend with his machete. During this, I drew my combat pistol and pressed my panic.
8:05
My success was short lived, as you immediately used your bike as a weapon against me. This is something I did not consider at all as a possibility, I know this sounds stupid, but I've never had someone use a vehicle against me (that wasn't blatant RVDM). To me, this is a flat out in-character misjudgement of the situation. I took a risk, failed to consider all the factors, and was punished for it.
8:10
Once I had fully recovered from the first ragdoll, you rammed me again. You gave no additional commands to myself to surrender or make an attempt to re-gain control of the situation, as far as I was aware - you were fully intending to kill me.
8:16
Your friend armed with a melee weapon makes a rush against me, an armed officer giving commands to "stay back", across an open area. He was promptly shot. I would like to re-iterate how neither of you gave any additional commands throughout this situation for me to 'surrender' etc.
8:24
There is a brief pause in the situation - where I re-iterate for backup over the radio.
8:34
I try to roleplay my injuries, by yelling out how I am injured, and attempting to seek cover.
I'd like to draw attention to how your friend (who has just been shot in the head), manages to coherently say "he's panicking, he's panicking now!" as if he's talking to you directly (despite you being down the road) and nothing has happened to him.
8:41
You crash your bike trying to ram me again, and you are dismounted.
I give you an order
AT GUNPOINT to stay where you are. You disobey me long enough for me to realise you are not posing a proper threat to me, and for me to draw my taser weapon in an attempt to detain you in a non-lethal manner.
If what I did counts as not-valuing my life, then surely this does too?
8:50
You continue to disobey my commands, running around a local truck whilst repeatedly yelling "how're you alive" in what I can only consider to be your attempt to waste time until your friend comes along.
9:02
This is where I would like to voice my biggest concerns with this situation.
A third person (ID 579) - someone who you have admitted to being involved with you (gang or otherwise, can't 100% remember), rams me out of nowhere - without saying a word. He rams me twice, with the second ram incapacitating myself.
Once I am incapacitated, this third person picks up your friend (the one with the machete) and runs off.
I would consider this act in this situation blatant RVDM. You explained in TeamSpeak that there was some valid roleplay reason for his actions - he was a member of your gang, but how in-roleplay was I supposed to know about this? Not a single word was uttered from this person, and no attempt was made to roleplay any sort of story/involvement with the situation. The same goes for your friend with the machete - no words spoken at all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i ram him multiple times with my bike which was to be expected
You issue one command to me that is disobeyed and you immediately try to ram me to death? If you had intended on injuring me with your bike to get me to surrender then I'd say that'd be a decent attempt to get me to comply. You however made no attempt to get me to surrender past the initial time at 7:56. As far as I'm aware, you were purely trying to kill me.
even tho it would be surten death to do that in a gang heavy area.
I'd agree with you - had there been a heavy presence of the gang area that it is known for. There were no Triads present in the area - as far as I was aware the only present in the area were a small band of separate drug dealers.
i feel like this officer rather wanted to "win" than he wanted roleplay
You are wrong in saying this. As you said on TeamSpeak you've had your problems with the LSPS and how you think they play to win and act as 'superheroes', but you are making a at best - misguided, at worst - insulting generalisation of the faction as a whole.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm unsure on how to best proceed with my side of things here - so I'll ask here and follow Staff guidance.
I wish to report 579 for VRDM - as discussed earlier - am I best to do this in a separate report or can it be dealt with here?

Nikolaj and I met on TeamSpeak afterwards to discuss the situation - we did not manage to resolve this, however some good conversation was had. I only have footage of the last ten or so minutes of this conversation, which is available here with Nikolaj's permission:
