Reason for ban: RDM, LTAP, NLR

Length of ban: 1 Day 12 hours

Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology

Why should you be unbanned? I should be unbanned because the entire situation was kind of dumb, but still my fault. Basically I was responding to a crime scene call at the ghetto because they needed someone with a camera to photograph a grow op. Anyways im pulling into the ghetto from the alleyway and some guys in a stolen cop car start ramming my car. I get out and ask them very nicely to move, which they showed their extreme gratitude by running me over repeatedly until I died. Anyways so I get my gear and I drive back and I photograph the scene and as we're taking our grow op suspect into custody he shows back up in the same stolen cop car and runs me over again repeatedly. When i got up I managed to get a good 3 headshots in (which he ate the first 2 but went down on the third) and yeah he died at ghetto. We transported the guy to PD where the same guy in the stolen cop car happens to be standing at the front entrance waiting for us. We take our guy out and start walking inside when he kills all 3 of us and frees our suspect. He runs away from PD but comes back when im pulling out of the garage so I ran him over and shot him because I thought he was trying to kill a cop he was running after. 

Yeah so anyways I kill him and I drive around town for a couple of minutes then I get off (keep in mind its 11 in the morning and the servers basically dead at 11 on a friday morning.) I feel like it would be within reason to lift or at least shorten the ban significantly because it frankly was not that big of a deal. The other dude was just minging and being stupid and I matched his stupidity (which he then had the audacity to call a mod like what??) 

The other guy was banned for the same length of time I was for MVDM and NLR. I should be unbanned because I'll be the first to admit that what I did wasn't right in regard to the rules and I shouldve been more mindful of that. I've already built myself a pretty stable career on this server as both a cop and a lawyer and frankly I just let my temporary emotions get to me this one time and it costs me that (rightfully so.) Im not gonna try and argue taht what I did was right by the rules because it frankly wasn't and theres no way to really argue it was. But yeah overall I was just being an asshole while trying to match the other guys stupidity and I realize I shouldn't have done that, and I will apologize and take full accountability for that. 

I actually got the opportunity to talk to the mod through discord regarding my ban and he was super reasonable and nice about it. I would definitely like to commend GALAXY, he handled the situation pretty well and he was fair with it. Although I do think that maybe my ban should be lifted because this was really just a one time thing and I wont let it happen again, it was petty of me and I realize that now. 

Additional Information (images, videos, etc): the mod didnt send them to me but he explained it pretty well so

Hi, Banning Moderator here, We did in fact talk and i would like to say, LTAP would be the only thing i believe should be removed. While there was just under 2 minutes in between you killing him and disconnecting from the server i cannot confidently say that was intentional. I believe NLR should stay because yes the first altercation where he shot you was in PD parking lot, But,  when you got in your car and ran him over it was on the sidewalk / street by right outside of PD parking lot BUT i believe the reason this qualifies for NLR is instead of just going another way or avoiding the man, you intentionally swerved into him and shot him while he was down. After reviewing logs once more I can confidently say the man who ran you over previously, was not the same person who shot you. The man who shot you was a totally random dude and was banned for MRDM. Another thing we discussed is you said he was chasing an officer and you thought he was gonna kill him, you just died so you cant ICly remember 15 minutes prior to your death. (So you dont ICly know he has a gun in his pocket) Upon reviewing the clips provided by the victim he was a very good distance away from the officer and had no gun out at all. you intentionally swerved into him and hopped out and shot him while he was on the ground. I will add the links to the clips to the ban shortly. I would agree that shortening the length would be the correct course of action because i cannot confidently say you LTAPed. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
