The US cop ad tries to make being a cop look badass and hardcore. Focusing on the power you will get

New Zealand ad focuses on the concept that a cop is supposed to be a hero to the people, and shows cops tending to the community in a peaceful way

Fun fact: the song used on the US recruitment ad with the tank is called 'Die, Motherfucker, Die'.

(Which I believe is German for 'The Motherfucker, The').

NZ cops still have assholes though. They use them for pooping.

Sadly the US ads are a more accurate portrayal of the original purpose of police.

Did that US advert actually show the Punisher logo? They do know he's not a hero, right?

NZ police are pretty cool. I'd probably be dead if they responded like US cops due to some embarrassing trouble when I was younger

The police have unironically been using the Punisher logo for over 20 years now

'Ed Clark, president of the St. Louis Police Officers Association, for example, asked officers to post the image to their Facebook pages in support of 22 officers under investigation for racist social media comments.'

They... they do know that the Punisher would shoot them if they gave him half a reason?

He's not a superhero, he's a vigilante.

Police in America are just legalized gangs there to protect the status quo and the interests of the rich and to oppress the poor. That's it.

American police tend to hire low IQ people as officers because they're less likely to have their own opinions and more likely to just obey.

It's real alright.

And there's even millions of people willing to fight and die in defense of it.

The cops who see Punisher as their mascot, likely have never even read a Punisher comic in their life. They just see he kills criminals and they assume he's on their side
