To start of I don't know this cop and I have never watched his stream.
I watched the whole situation from several perspectives .Before I start I just want to clarify what meta gaming means in simple words : When your character knows something he can't know .
You guys forget this is RP and everyone trying to have fun . You guys taking this shit way more seriously than it should be and it ruins it for everyone .Most of the streamers don't give a shit about meta and just want to have fun.
