Needs a comma after "police".

Also lacking a "'" in "shouldn't".

You do realize that "y'all" is a contraction and requires an apostrophe, and that you missed the "r" in "worth"? I mean as long as we're being pedantic.

No, the grammar police chased it down and caught it before it got away.

But if I had written "police.", I'd be implying the the "." was part of what was originally written, as opposed to ending the sentence with a period after "'police'".

In this case, English grammar is just plain wrong. Poor design. Anything inside '"' marks is part of the string literal. Therefore, punctuation added to the quote should be outside the quotation mark. I see this affliction mainly among programmers, though.

This petition looks solid, I hope one of them will haunt ubisofts employers for some time.

Hopefully they'll remove it soon after launch anyway...
