After talking to a lot of people about this situation, I've realized that I was being pretty reckless during that night in the city. I came back to the server a few days ago after a 3 year break, and a lot has changed. I've been really enjoying my time on Diverge so far and this is the only bad experience I have been in since I returned. I don't want to lose my original Character, it's been a long time coming just to go out in such an unrealistic way. I'd also like to apologize to @adam, I portrayed you as a bad person throughout my appeal, and that wasn't okay. I won't ignore the way you handled the situation, but I should have been the bigger man and kept my opinion of you and the opinion others have about you, out of things. I really hope Donato gets a second chance, and I hope you guys can understand how it feels being in this dilemma.

I didn't - It was late at night, I had my brightness and gamma turned way down for ease on the eyes. Not only that, but I did not initiate the initial vdm of the officer, so I shouldn't have been shot in the first place. It was a probationary cop who I guarantee didn't mean to shoot me instead of the guy they've been chasing for the past 5-10 minutes. I wish we could've had a full conversation about this before you ditched me in the support call. Adding to this you can hear the officer on the ground say at 6 seconds (before I even backed over him) to "shoot at him" referring to the brown car.

Name of Character: Donato Miniati SteamID: STEAM_0:0:424709755 Your Discord ID#: bic.lighter Date of PK: 5/19/2025 Reason for PK: "killed by cop" Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I would've never been PK'd if I didn't make a ticket about possibly receiving a compensation for my car glitching out on a body and blowing up. I will expand on this by providing the clip I took of the situation. I have a full 5 minute clip of me not interacting with police until the end of it. I was vdm'd by some guy in a brown car. I find him a few minutes later and chase him, he plows into a police truck, knocking a cop on the ground. I did NOT notice this, and backed up to chase the rule breaker. In the process I ran over the cop and he got stuck inside of my car, draining the HP of the car and blowing it up, resulting in me dying and losing my gun. I made a ticket to possibly receive comp for the weapon. This is the Clip I sent to adam: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kk3lIjnNS07qa81qT?invite=cr-MSxxNlIsODUyMTY2NTU Not only was I not comp'd, I was met with a rotten attitude from adam and a swift PK. He swears that I died to a cop shooting me, yet I had zero interaction with the police until that point. I ran over that cop on accident, not knowing he would get stuck in my car and blow it up. Adam swears that I was shot and killed by the police, which is why he PK'd me. I was not attacking the police, in fact I was attempting to do the opposite, which was to stop this guy from vdm-ing any more people. I know it's not my job to do that, nor should I have. My intention was not to kill/attack any officer, I just wanted the guy who had killed multiple people (including an attempt on my life) with his car to stop. Here is a video I made to help show what the entire situation was start to finish: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kk61sUWypfh7gPoT5?invite=cr-MSw2TTAsODUyMTY2NTU My interaction with adam: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kk69HQUIv9o5R0tkC?invite=cr-MSw2cUcsODUyMTY2NTU I may have spent way too long making these videos but they explain everything for me, I don't want to have to answer many questions in the replies.
