This is why people buy video games because of all this controversy surrounding the game, I hope they know by doing this their helping the games sales not preventing people from buying it. According to some news site, the New York Police Union (NYPU) is tiring to remove “Saints Row 2″ from store shelves because in the game the player controls a gang member who can steal, do drugs and kill as many characters as possible, including police officers.

And according to the Union, the game dehumanizes police officers, trivializes violence and sets a terrible example for young people. And get this. The games creators stated that the game is rated “M” and it isn’t for the eye’s of someone under the age of seventeen, go figure. Also on Tuesday, surrounded by police union members who support her bid for Manhattan District Attorney, candidate Leslie Crocker-Snyder and others spoke out against the violent game.
