If you are addressing the cops through the patch I would like to add the following:
1) Allow cops to be hacked, It is breaking the suspension of disbelief not only how they materialize from thin air but also that you can not hack them. Is this restriction, adding to the overall quality of the game?
2) I V have to fight them, then I would like to get the XP and the weapons off of their bodies. Let them litter the streets for a while longer.
3) Implement consequences. Get a rep like Cop Killer so they abstain of harassing your character for small traffic accidents, after you took down 2- 3 squads. Put a reward on V, merc contract, talk of incident in the news, would be a nice twist.
