The story of the interrupters is an important one, which needs to be told with respect- see here here and here- not trivialized and used as a tool to sell video games pushing a message entirely contrary to that of the men and women devoting themselves to stopping the violence in our communities.
Shape up, Vice. We get that you’re “edgy”- now try to convince us you’ve got some humanity.
