That’s actually kinda awesome imo. GTA has always been a parody of real life; parodying police brutality against minorities might actually help people to stop and notice when it happens irl (assuming they handle it well).
That said, and I might be misremembering this, didn’t postal 2 do this? You never saw it happen to you since the Postal Dude’s white, but I swear I remember cops would occasionally randomly arrest people who weren’t white. That’s not to say that Postal 2 is “”“woke”“”, it’s about as far from it as you can be; nor do I think that a lot of the jokes would land nowadays because some of the edgier ones were satirizing the politics of the time. However, I vaguely remember it having some really potent satire about society hiding under the crackhead edgy humor (the Postal Dude is literally a crackhead).
