* The developers wanted to avoid possible real-life backlash.
* The city is either a CityPlanet (probably not considering the technology level) or the only habitable place on the planet.
* It doesn't actually matter.

[[WMG: New voice actor for Faith in the prequel!]]
As is the fashion now they're going to want a VA who can do full motion mo-cap for the cutscenes. Now who in the VA business is also an expert traceuse?

* Assuming this hypothetical healing drug is part of Project Icarus' intel on the runners, it would explain why pursuit cops use tasers rather than guns. If they know that even a well-placed bullet may not do lasting damage, it makes sense for them to try to slow down runners with a weapon that causes muscle spasms instead. If they don't know that bullets can eventually be shrugged off by runners, it doesn't make much sense why they wouldn't just use guns since they're not interested in taking the runners alive.

Ben Croshaw (Yahtzee of ZeroPunctuation ) was right. Think about it. You don't send armed attack helicopters and specially trained taser-equipped anti-parkour ninjas after someone if all they're doing is keeping perfectly harmless documents from passing through government hands. Faith blindly follows Merc's orders, always assuming that all government is automatically evil, because her parents died in a protest. Who's to say what those yellow bags contain? High explosives? Viral agents? What if the runners actually provide such a credible threat that the government is actually justified in using such ridiculously extreme measures to take down unarmed civilians?

[[WMG:Mirror's Edge takes place after the [[TheHungerGames Dark Days]] but before the second Quarter Quell ]]
Faith and Kate are Capitol children - or District 2 possibly, whose parents are part of the revolution. They'll never be entered into [[TheHungerGames the games]] but Faith, at least, sees injustice.

* I like the theory, but it would have to be much earlier in the Games' storyline. Possibly right after the initial rebellion. The technology in Mirror's Edge isn't even close to TheHungerGames.

** Kate was apparently able to elude the police with Merc's help. I always assumed she had the same raw skills as Faith, but her police training didn't cover parkour techniques and her general distaste for the runners lifestyle kept her from learning on the streets like Faith.
