Pro:
Mostly shoots Italians, cops, deep state operatives and their mooks (also a bunch of Brazilian fascists and cops in the third game)
Con:
Is a cop
Possibly hot take, but ACAB doesn't apply to fictional cops for the most part, because in many fictional settings the world is written to be fundamentally different such that police actually are the unambiguous good guys outside of individual crooked cops. Ergo, unless the setting has written for the allowance of the principle of ACAB, then ACAB does not apply in fictional settings.
They're depicted as bastards across the board aside from Cool Lester Smooth. Also I saw recently that Kima got arrested with a bunch of blow recently.
Even the moderately good guy in season 3 that set up hampsterdam was still pretty shitty. He only became a good cop when he left the police and helped raise that kid.
I mean he doesn’t exist in real life so he’s already inherently better than pigs
In that game he's a bodyguard for a rightwing politician and I'm not sure how much better that is
It was called Valkyr and the guys behind it had a penchant for Norse imagery, makes me think it was just
antifa super soldier serum
I would say Max is mostly just a bastard and cop is a subgenre of bastard he dabbles in. He's also pretty big into being a righteous bastard so maybe it evens out 🤷♂️
Freelance Police is probably what the libertarian cop from that copypasta is
Sam and Max are on record for whittling away lazy weekend afternoons bulldozing nazis into a volcano.
In Max Payne 3 he kills off like the entirety of the Brasilian police and notBOPE
I had the horrible realization getting sucked into L.A. Noire the last few weeks that ACAB includes Cole Phelps, oh well
