What is your opinion about video games that allow the player to harm police officers (Grand Theft Auto, Watch_Dogs, etc.)? Keep in mind that the player is not obligated to harm the police and can finish the game without touching a single officer.

The glorification of violence is an unfortunate situation in modern society. It desensitizes and dehumanizes people. Marketing such games to children is abhorrent.

Just want to say thanks for your answers. Yeah I know the police and military are smart despite the stereotypes (which might just exist where I live.) I really want to be a navy officer but I don't know if that'll work out because of my asthma.

Asked by Phillip over 12 years ago

The Navy is a good way to go. My family has had at least one man in the US Navy continuously since 1943. You definitely want to talk to a recruiter about the asthma, but I don't think it would bar you from service.
