There's a very strong "cops can be dicks" theme in literally the first opening scene. There's a very strong theme of cops being a tool of corporate interests.

On what to means to have a modifiable body, there too from the beginning the game puts it right in front of you where it causes a sort of body dysmorphic disorder that can drive people crazy. There's even a series of side quests that deal directly with this.

The dialog in that scene says, effectively, he must have done something to deserve it. To me it showed police violence and then immediately tried to justify it. I took away a very different message from that scene.

But that's the beauty of critique, I think we can both look at the same work and draw different messages from it.
