Police Officer Over-Reacts

There have been a number of police taser abuses recently.  Yes, they are very effective, mostly safe, and 99% non-lethal, but some officers have taken to using them without discrimination.  The video below shows the dash-cam of a police officer who pulled over a mother in a mini-van.  Not only did he change his story about why he pulled her over, but proceeded to give confusing orders (ordering her back in to her vehicle, then right back out again). The mother is not entirely blameless.  She didn't follow instruction, and acted aggressively, but officers are trained to handle these types of situations.  At this point there was no reason for the tasering.

NationStates

NationStates is a free nation simulation game. Build a nation and run it according to your own warped political ideals. Create a Utopian paradise for society's less fortunate or a totalitarian corporate police state. Care for your people or deliberately oppress them. Join the United Nations or remain a rogue state. It's really up to you.
It's a very laid back "game". Takes a few minutes a day, and not too much to do unless you get into role-playing. You get to make decisions and see how those decisions play out in a simulated world. NationStates The book the game is based off of - Jennifer Government - is also pretty good. It's not a long book, but gives you a humorous and different look at capitalism and the world.

Welcome to paradise! The world is run by American corporations (except for a few deluded holdouts like the French); taxes are illegal; employees take the last names of the companies they work for; the Police and the NRA are publicly-traded security firms; and the U.S. government only investigates crimes it can bill for.

Hack Nike is a Merchandising Officer who discovers an all-new way to sell sneakers. Buy Mitsui is a stockbroker with a death-wish. Billy NRA is finding out that life in a private army isn't all snappy uniforms and code names. And Jennifer Government, a legendary agent with a barcode tattoo, is the consumer watchdog from hell.
