This is more the inevitable outcome of a creative fictional work scraping up against the bottom of the barrel. They came up with the killer idea: "play as a cop!" but I bet they quickly realized that the avg cop in the United States doing their job correctly is not very exciting from a first-person-shooting perspective. So, to make being a police officer more compelling, they had to ignore the fact an officer shouldn't really have cause fire a gun, much less draw one, very often. A first person shooter without the shooting is just, well, not a game. The inevitable result is a videogame about being a cop that does a lot of shooting. Call of Duty developers have done less responsible stuff for the sake of crafting a "unique" feature for their shooters.
