Ban Length: 2 days
Banning Staff Member (@AdminName to mention the staff member):
@Stuvi

Ban Reason:
RDM x1

Unban Reason:
If you watch the video recorded by Miles Cindric, it shows me pulling up outside the PD after being called by Valentino DeLuca, he told me over the radio he was being shot by a cop and when I pulled up I saw a cop over his body confiscating his belongings. Once I realize it was Valentino I got out to tell the officer to put up his hands since his weapon was unequipped. From my perspective, the officer was radioing at the time, breaking my orders, as well as running around the vehicle to pull his weapon and fight back. So I begin firing at him at the beginning of the 9-second mark, my intention was to kill as he had disobeyed my orders through running away and using his radio. When he got around the car from me, you see him suddenly stop and put up his hands. I had already begun shooting him and finished him off seeing that there were officers firing from the PD and another down the road. Stuvi witnessed the situation and asked me why I killed the officer through PMs, I immediately explained that he had killed and confiscated my friend's weapons, and he failed to immediately obey my orders. Stuvi then banned me for two days and stripped me of my mentor rank. I do not believe it is fair to ban a gunman because the person they were firing at threw their hands up after killing the gunman's friend, trying to run away, and radio in their location. I had already shot him before he had his hands up. I have no history of any bans or warns. My organization is not based on FragRP like many other ones are, we enjoy focusing on roleplay, like the Casino I frequently run, but Stuvi happened to witness a situation during a time in which we take up arms to our enemy, and one of our cars were attacked by cops. If you watch the full video, at the end you hear me do my best to get out of there instead of killing more cops. Killing is not what I care about, but I do resort to it when my friends are in trouble, and I do take nicely to those who kill my friends, henceforth I took the opportunity to kill the officer when he disobeyed then obeyed my orders after radioing in his location. I have enjoyed my time and clean record on this server and enjoyed helping others out, but everyone once in a while gets in gunfights and has to fight. In conclusion, from a realistic perspective, people would be shot if at any point they disobeyed a gunman's orders, or especially killed another gunman. Surrendered or not, what they did was done and their life would be taken in a real gunfight.

I mean no disrespect to Stuvi or his judgement, I just believe he saw the fight from the wrong perspective and didn't fully understand the context or what I was thinking when I killed the officer.

Time of Occurrence:
2:45 PM - 2/10/19

Additional members involved/witnessing:
@Tony
There is a similar report made by @Violence which shows Violence putting his hands up after shortly disobeying orders and being killed for it. I cannot speak for Salvatore completely, but both us most likely had a similar train of thought, seeing the person that we are shooting putting their hands up just before they are finished off and being reported/banned for it.

Incorrect. You can clearly see he is in the inventory, and since cops can not do anything further with corpses, he (probably) proceeded to request EMS via radio. You do not know what his intentions where since you can not hear it. Deputies on scene had no clue of your guys involvement in those guys shootout - infact you guys weren't involved since the situation was already over.

You literally stepped out of the vehicle, giving him the orders and not even a second later already shooting him. You already broke the rules here since you didn't give him a reasonable time to respond to your commands. Since GMod has voice chat delay your commands were received late and you can literally see in the clip that he puts his hands up. You still proceeded to eliminate him.

Quoting our rules:
You are required to give the opposing party a reasonable time-period to respond and act upon your commands in situations where the rules allow various outcomes based on how the opposing party reacts. For example, it is forbidden to shoot someone instantly after giving them the order to put their hands up while at gunpoint. You need to make sure the opposing party heard you. Keep the voice-chat delay in mind.
You failed to follow these.

I've spectated you and your group since you were at the Townhall. Quotes like "Lets all meet at the Townhall" and "Let's just shoot them" clearly state the opposite of what you are saying in terms of "my organization is not based on FragRP".

Therefore, this appeal is denied.
