What in the bucket (autocorrected from fuck, lol)! As a fan of Sierra games, this is bizarre to read, I never expected them to embrace cop culture, after growing from a pot smoking and drinking origin.

A lot of people succumbed to fear after 1992, especially the types like Ken Williams that were newly rich.

There's a excellent, recent OJ Simpson documentary called Made in America that does a dive into 1990's Los Angeles police culture and the riots. Highly recommended.
