Los Angeles Police Department officers found themselves in a rather awkward situation at the Robotoki video game developer studio after an employee accidentally hit their security system's "armed threat" panic button. The office just happened to have a life-sized statue of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 character Simon "Ghost" Riley on display by the entrance, armed with a menacing-looking mock assault rifle. When police arrived on the scene and noticed the gun-wielding figure, they immediately stormed the building in a tense 15-minute standoff. After realizing the effigy was not a threat, the police reportedly left the building while laughing at the absurd incident.

And the golden internet reactions are already rolling in folks...

Growing up when Grand Theft Auto was new was one hell of a time. Many of us had to hide the game from our parents, but it was still inevitable that they'd catch you doing some unsavory stuff. We always wondered how people with very strict or very religious parents dealt with it. They made for some interesting scenes, like how this person's religious dad out-religioned some evangelists at the door.
What started as a petition by Plague Inc. gamers, gave way to enough people actually signing up to state their interest in adding anti-vaxxers to the game. From there, the company posted a status about their decision to work anti-vaxxers in, and people were LIT in the comments section. There were roasts, verbal jabs, and above all else, excited appreciation from the consumers to the company, for them listening to what they wanted.
