Enforcement Action Taken

Description of the incident:

hey! im abober, and i play Gary Kumar. Gary does not much fancy neither police nor the company. usually taking on support and shipside roles, he is there to help and assist fellow marines. now, it would only make sense then, if Gary would overlook and sometimes even partake in harmless and victimless pranks like snatching someones boots or breaking some window somewhere

to the incident. the atmosphere is cheerful in the medbay lobby, the 5+ present marines are celebrating the victory that had just (or just about to have) occurred. im doing a fistbump routine with a marine Gary knows very well IC, someone is pulling, etc.

cop appears out of nowhere, following no procedure, pepper spraying, and belittling and cursing at me and other marines, one of which i had just revived minutes ago. he does not even follow up with an explanation, or an arrest attempt. just uses the spray and lies down on a stretcher. other hurt marines are obviously upset as well

it would be in character for Gary to want to have an outlet for retaliation for this kind of injustice. now, if there was a chance to talk it out, or appeal to the aCO, i wouldve taken that route, but i got rendered defenceless, and berated out of the blue

i only made the choice to stab the cop at all after taking into consideration that we were in medbay, and given damage can be fixed easily the cop wouldnt even die, since we were surrounded by medics. if i could go through an IC legal battle following this incident i (and Gary, im sure) gladly would

now, i am not surprised a cop roleplayer would ahelp this two minutes before the restart. it is disheartening, however, that a moderator is taking their side and even willing to distort the facts

from my standpoint, cop followed no procedure, escalated the situation from nothing happening to pepper spray with no warning, so i just escalated it even further

from what i can see on the forums, my chances of getting a note lifted are close to zero

so, at the very least, it would be nice to change the wording on the note, where it appears as if i was resisting a lawful arrest, to something resembling “used lethal weapon in a non lethal fight with a hostile mp”

i dont need this note lifted, as im not currently planning on applying to any WL, but id hate to have a fake note on my record regardless

thank you for your time

Note - Rule 10 - Skipping Escalation: As a field doc, OD’ed an MP, in response to the MP trying to detain them for hooliganism. by westrover (Moderator) on 2026-01-31 11:47:50 (ID: 32215)

Under escalation, using chemicals as weapons (such as ODing someone) is lethal force. Additionally, the tools the MP used were not grounds for you to inject them. You are playing a mentally sound Officer of the USCM, your first reaction wouldn’t be “I should give this guy a lethal injection” to pepper spray. It would likely be “oh god my eyes are burning, oh god. It burns, oh god.” etc, etc - any other sane, normal reaction to being pepper-sprayed. The MP also followed marine law, stopping hooliganism in the medbay, a vital area where any mistake can cost lives, and seeing a doctor pulling, dragging, and disarming others is grounds for hooliganism. The MP followed the procedure. They gave a warning to stop, or they would take action. You did not, so they took action to detain and hand out an NJP.

Hey there, @aboba.

We don’t do “my character is/likes/hates/does X” to ignore the server rules, you can’t use lethal means or chemicals to avoid an arrest. Please make sure to read our escalation rules. I see no misconduct on Westrover’s side.

MPs have to follow the Marine Law per server rules, so if you think someone is acting against Marine Law, please ahelp it and let the staff decide it and please do not retaliate.
