(Likely to get disliked) They don't want the Ready or Not players or anyone from SWAT because those games penalize you for excessive force or shooting of civilians.
Huh, went to check and yes- this may be an infringement on the Black Ops 4 Trademark. Though using the phrase "Call of Duty" might not be enforceable in this sense, the fact that the positioning, proportions, and font used for the words are exactly the same as CoD:BLOPS4 should cross that line.
Fine print: "We should mention that it is not really like Call of Duty, because we're hella scared of other people with guns, so you're mainly just going to be beating down and shooting people who are no threat to you. Winkyface."
Even if this was an ad for SWAT specifically, I know the guys on SWAT would want this removed immediately. The last thing they want is a bunch of sweaty COD players clogging up their tryouts.
I believe that is the current situation in the US. At the same time they do serve and protect; they serve special interests and protect people in power. They just don't, and don't have to, serve or protect the common citizens. It's the difference between getting fired or having an "accident" and being put on paid administrative leave for 2 months during an "investigation" before possibly being resigned and allowed to find work at another department in 1-6 months in terms of respective failure
That’s my favorite part. They didn’t even bother with using the trim buff dudes in the front. They’re like, “we’ll take the couch potato Meal-Team-6 folks too!”
Yhea. I lived in and around Chicago for over 30 years. I'm two whole hours south of it now and I swear people would welcome slave ships docked on the river.
Bradley is still a bit closer to the city, and the Bears hold annual camp near there. Come further east near starved rock, look at any of these towns with less than 1000 people and you get the idea.
Ah fair. I've been to Starved Rock but only the marina when my family was into boating, do I don't have /that/ much experience with areas around Peoria.
As a white person, yes, fuck that noise. Fuck this whole state. I'm in a blue county, but I still see people with things like Punisher stickers with the American flag pattern on vehicles of people who can't figure out how to hand a teller their card.
It’s a product of the past that still persists in some places mostly throughout the south. Same thing with being gay as well. I remember driving through Texas with my husband and our route happened to go straight through my old stomping grounds when I was a kid. Made a comment about maybe stopping and checking it out, thought about it for a minute and legitimately, a sense of dread and panic filled me as I remembered the people and told him “yeah let’s actually not”
No, daylight as in that's the time of day PoC are allowed in the town. They can't stay at a hotel, house, etc and have to be gone by sundown. Google you'll see the signs they post to tell them to leave by sundown

The cringe is so strong with this, like this is somehow beating peak alpha male cringe levels.

Can someone please forward this to EA (another actual devil) and have them sue for IP theft. Seems like it would be right up their alley.

Just a fun fact about the militarization of police here in the US. https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/2022/03/17/revealed-adl-us-israel-police-exchanges/#:~:text=Since%20the%20early%202000s%2C%20thousands,Israeli%20military%20and%20police%20forces.

Come on MS, you spent $70b for CoD, time to go to work.

Because that's what a police department needs - a bunch of asshat CoD players with actual guns.

'cause they fight with all the other asshat CoD players that already work there?

That’s basically what it already is

US COPS have not been about protecting the public since the Security Pacific Bank in Norco, California robbery.

I believe it was the supreme court that said cops didn't have to serve or protect people.

This is definitely trademark infringement...right? Like, this definitely doesn't actually qualify as parody since it's a fucking advertisement?
Noodlesocks
definitely trademark at the very least since they're using the Call of Duty font. Not copyright in this context though.

EA doesn't make Call of Duty. They make Battlefield. Call of Duty is Treyarch, which is owned by Activision...which is now owned by Microsoft.

The graphic designer might not be a big fan of the police and hid the one trim dude in the back.

I'm about an hour northwest of Peoria and I'm kinda surprised this is so restrained. Around here the term "sundown town" still gets used seriously.

I regret finding out what that word meant from "Lovecraft country" feels like something I should have known before my 30's

The town of Minden Nevada still has a siren that goes off just before sundown - of course they claim it's their "cultural heritage".
