Kalvin Colavita - PK Appeal

[Juno]

Name of Character: Kalvin Colavita

Character ID: 172135

SteamID: STEAM_0:0:580959940

Your Discord ID#: junottv

Date of PK: 06/08/2025

Reason for PK: Pointed a gun at an officer arresting a friend.

Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?:
I attempted to save a friend from being arrested, I pointed my gun at him but had no bullets so my gun clicked twice. In this scenario, I think in my view the cop should’ve made an attempt to arrest me but instead, decided to shoot me. I knew the consequences of the action but since the cop heard the click of my weapon could have prompted him to roleplay an arrest or disarmament rather than use lethal force.

If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines:

Hey there PKing staff. Your character was PKed for initiating a violent confrontation with police, by pulling your gun on the officer as he was arresting someone else. Your gun having no bullets in this circumstance is irrelevant. The act of pointing the gun at the police, in this case, is counted as 'initiating a violent confrontation'. I'm not sure with the speed of how the events unfold, that the officer failed to do due diligence. As at the time, it could be taken as a credible threat against his life and I do not see this as an execution.

 

TO recap:

Quote

■ Initiating a shootout or violent confrontation with Police can lead to a PK. Killing or attacking an Officer after initiating a violent confrontation leaves you PK active from officers for about 15 minutes...

Quote

Engaging in combat with Police is a calculated risk you take, where death is permanent...

Hello,

4Lights pretty much summed it up quite well and quoted the relevant rules

Your intentions of shooting the officer are quite apparent. The attempt was made, therefore starting a violent confrontation with police in which you died in. Per the rules this is ground for a PK. Additionally to your point of the officer maybe making an attempt to arrest you, if it there was loads of times between you pulling the weapon and the trigger, and him shooting you, I would be a bit more sympathetic towards this. Though, he reacted nearly instantly basically starting to shoot just as you began putting away your weapon. To him you were still an active threat with intentions of killing him.
