This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: The Butcher;836016We used GURPS once, years ago (never even knew there was a Cops supplement) for a police procedural.

I remember surviving a point-blank, execution-style shot to the head. Fair and square.

Ehm, no, in case of executions and situations like that death is automatic...

If he just had the drop on you and rolled the bare minimum damage, the damage multipliers should have killed you nonetheless (but I don't remember third ed. that well)

Quote from: Matt;835909Just as it says, and why one over the other? Or is there a superior 3rd option I am unaware of for a bad ass cops RPG?

There is Gurps Mysteries, by the same author of Gurps Cops. It's a more neutral discussion on running crime adventures.

You could also have a look to Dogstown. It's geared toward playing criminals rather than cops, though (which could be handy for a "the Shield" campaign).

For a non-rpg reference, I suggest "Homicide" by David Simon. It's the tale of one year spent by the author together the Baltimore homicide class.
