This is my first issue. Im sorry if there is an issue already like this...

Racism In @@NAME@@’s Police Force?

A news helicopter in @@NAME@@ taped a police chase down, resulting in the beating of an African-American, by two white officers clearly after the criminal was captured and held down. Citizens are outraged and African-American minorities are protesting in front of the officers’ police headquarters.

[option]”This is unbelievable!” states @@RANDOMNAME@@, “I may not have experienced racism against me, but I am pretty sure I know what it looks like! These officers should be fined in money and receive jail time!”
[effect]racism in the police force is un-heard of
[stats]happiness increases

[option]”I don’t know what you people believe in, but I certainly don’t believe criminals should be treated with respect!” says @@RANDOMNAME@@ in an opinion interview, “Criminals are bad people who do bad things. They need to be punished!”
[effect]after beatings in criminal chase downs are common
[stats]happiness decreases

[option]”I know how this man feels!” tells African-American @@RANDOMNAME@@ to the news reporter. “The other day I was listening to one of my favorite rap albums, and then I was told by two white officers to ‘shut that crap off!’ and threatened to take it away. People like this should be punished to where they won’t, I’m sorry, cannot do this ever again. Deteriorate these people!”
[effect]racist citizens are deteriorated if found guilty
[stats]happiness increases

[option]”This is another point that the police are criminals themselves!” tells a citizen in @@NAME@@, “F*** the police. Get rid of them and let the citizens behave how ever they want!”
[effect]the police has been replaced with the citizens themselves
[stats]happiness decreases, tax decreases

I think you should replace those ethnic references for some other abstract ethnic group, like the Minitopians or something else, as not all nations have "African-American" people (the game is international).
Those stats are arguable, but anyway, that's up to the moderators to the decide.

Why don't the options effect crime? And you should NEVER write an issue with good effects. All effects should have a negative spin.
