Retired Internal affairs officer Kilbert Hatcher PK appeal

[Gean gaba]

Name of Character: Kilbert Hatcher

SteamID: STEAM_0:1:837105714

Your Discord ID#: 1153886742533898351

Date of PK:6/30/2025

Reason for PK: Alleged "violent interaction with a police officer leading to my death"

Why should you be un-PK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated? I was in fact killed by a civilian that I had no association with the officer even scolded the guy who did it because "NOW I CAN'T PK HIM!!!" <-the officers words. Unfortunately, when the staff had pulled me up, I didn't even get an opportunity to explain what happened as I was grabbing some water, I was gone for all of 90 seconds at most. (Mind you I was waiting for roughly 20 mins just knowing a staff sit was coming all for me to go downstairs to grab a water, stub my toe and come back to a dead char that I've had since like week 2.) 

If possible, please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: It is an understatement when I say that this is a bigger tragedy than when you wipe your ass and it simply won't get clean, but medal has been down for me since Thursday and I have had no less than a dozen emails with support back and forth( Of course I did all the go-to fixes before even bothered contacting support, but I had truly done everything.

Hello!
I am the staff member that approved your PK! The reason why your character was PK'd as you already know was violent confrontation with police, the officer who provided the clip (provided to me) had no ooc language used which could deny their PK. This was accepted as in the clip provided you shot and killed an officer in front of you and responding the officer who saw it happened retaliated.  The only time you are able to shoot and "Hospitalize" an officer is when the police engage in the violent activity first. Im sorry to hear about the loss of your character!

As Ace explained you were in fact killed by the officer and not a random citizen or uninvolved criminal character. Even if you had, this PK would still stand as after you killed the first officer, you are PK active for 15 minutes per the PK guidelines. This is to avoid your friend or some random trying to help just killing you while you're active to cops to have you avoid an arrest or PK from the officer. There is no evidence that we could find of the OOC in IC claims you made either. Even then, OOC terms by officers referring to PKs does not immediately disqualify them. The context heavily matters. In the future, do not take gunfights with officers or be sure you can win them to avoid characters dying in the future.

Your appeal has been reviewed and denied.

We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified.

You may not re-appeal this PK.
