So, here's the backstory...
The NCPD & SWAT Team raid the Warehouse, after surveilance revealed suspicious characters going in (with packages) and coming out (with nothing). Also noticing the increase in gun-related crimes, the police force of NukeCity plan an attack on what they believe to be the heart of the problem. Upon entering the warehouse, a man inside is arrested. He is taken to the police station and interrogated, revealing that he sells weapons, and that his "boss" goes by the name of "Trey." He is released later for good behavior & cooperation with the interrogation. The released prisoner was Aces. He was not killed IC between this time and now (that I am aware of).
That was a few hours ago. Now, less than an hour ago...
A man is arrested for brandishing and firing a gun in public near the 7/11. Aces saw us taking him in and followed us in to the PD, asking to visit the arrested man. We allowed it, disarmed him, and took him to the cell. He immediately called him "Trey," so we escorted Aces outside. We had our man. The head honcho. Note, Aces obviously recognized Trey at this point in time, and had positively ID'ed him.
A little while after that...
We took Trey in to the interrogation room, where Henry Williams began the interrogation. To "calm" the suspect, he uncuffed Trey. Throughout the entire interrogation, SMS beeps could be heard regularly. I'm not aware of what they said, but this is against police protocol and a very bad idea as far as common sense goes. Trey, of course, denies all charges & evidence brought before and against him. This is predictable, and not a bad thing. Every criminal would do this to keep themselves from being incriminated further. Williams decides he wants to bring in our witness who revealed Trey originally. We do, and keep in mind this is Aces. We bring Aces in to the observation room, where he refuses to identify Trey again. Why? Because he doesn't have Trey's model.
This is where the fun begins...
Unless Trey had RPed a drastic appearance-altering event between the time Aces ID'ed him in his cell and the time we asked Aces to ID him in the interrogation room (which he didn't, since we simply walked him down there and nothing happened), this is a terrible reason. I asked in admin chat if this was a valid reason to let Trey go, and Nuker said to forget the models. This clears up the issue. We quickly get back to the RP. By this time, Aces has been saying OOC that he wants to leave, that he's bored, etc. We ask him if he can identify Trey. He says no. Presumably so he can leave as soon as possible.
I understand that sitting around arguing about models can get boring very fast, but that's no reason to sacrifice the ENTIRE RP that had been going on for several hours.
I won't go on personal rants against any of the RPers involved, but overall this was just stupid.
