Struggling with Police situations RP

[n00ms]

OK we have been getting into some great RP with civs and police, had some really funny events.

The other night we wanted a police chase, we held two officers up had a great RP with them and they played along superb. Everything was good, then the police chase was about to begin and an armed response car flew in, they were all screaming "put your weapons down". I took cover as did my friend, my unarmed friend shouted he was unarmed and tried negotiating then they spotted my other friend and shot as he had his gun raised... this got me stuck... my group has been engaged and has taken shots, very little RP is going on, but I know after previous run ins with the police, if I had started to talk I would have just been tazed, it seems to be, taze them then talk with a lot of police. I returned fire and managed to escape, I felt like realistically this is the way it would have gone, had no arguments from any police in side chat.

It just felt a bit "meh". I wanted more of a RP stand off, trigger happy seems to be the best word to describe it on both sides. The day before I tried to RP and just got told "put your...." and got tazed. So I guess I have adjusted to this. My willingness to RP with them is there, just very hard to make it happen.

Any others had similar situations? Any tips?

Depends on the officer in which you get to be honest

I've had my good RP and my bad RP with officers, it really just depends who it is you're dealing with, but I can say that if some officers really want to arrest you they'll just neglect your chance at trying to RP and shutdown anything your trying to do to RP out of it

Yeah we had a few times where we have been stopped for silly reasons and the sneakily check inside our trucks. I can see it from their side though, I can imagine how many people just shoot cops on sight.

AR seems to receive a lot of complaints for just going in guns blazing, honestly i don't know. Ive never had a engagement with them. So i assume its just based on the officer. (not starting a argument just saying)

Like real life, depending on the officer, you will either have a great time or a terrible one. Do not expect that every officer is similar. Like someone realy likes to RP with rebels and others try to avoid it like the plague.

Yeah I hate shooting too soon when someone could have been up for some good RP, but then I feel cheated when I cop just tazes me without saying a word. Like you say depends on the player. I keep making sure as soon as I see them I start yelling in direct to let them know I am open to negotiate
