Is this meant as an excuse? Because it's not. Either they left it out because they ran out of time, or they didn't bother implementing it from the beginning, but the result is the same: they released a game without core mechanics fully implemented and the critiques are justified.

I think there's a difference between the game being half-baked (it is) and just genuine failure on the part of the developer. Basically I'm pretty sure the cop mechanic wasn't intended to be the way it is.

That doesn't really make it good, but I don't think it represents the feature design.
