LPI and their RP

[Talbott]

Interestingly enough,
The LPI are corrupt cops at their very core.
The Mollies are angry miners fighting for freedom at their very core.

The LPI getting rid of slaves contradicts their core nature.
The Mollies fighting against the greater threats in hopes of securing freedom through alternate means that haven't been tried yet... that doesn't change their core nature.
So, er, that.

The LPI selling slaves is not vanilla canon and makes no sense within our RP. The LPI is interested in forced labor onboard our prison-factories, and inRP is always desperate for more labor to keep the lines running.

Now if the LPI is so desperate for more labor that its going after litterers and the homeless, why would it be selling off lots of workers 5,000 at a time?

Nobody is trying to say that the LPI is an organization that is lawful good or interested in justice. What I see the leadership as saying is this- We are the law in Liberty, and if we aren't going to be pure we are at least going to be professional. Bribery and personal corruption is unprofessional- its something that the public is going to see and it will hurt the reputation of the LPI and, incidentally, hurt our stock prices.

What you seem to be saying is this- No LPI, you are the Keystone cops! Now go smash some tail-lights and extort the traders you're supposed to be protecting!

I don't agree with that, and I'm going to continue to RP my LPI Officer in the grand tradition of the Texas Ranger- protecting the weak, hunting the guilty and hiding an extra fist in my beard.

But if you want us to be corrupt, we can play corrupt. It won't be pretty.
