* ArtisticLicenseLawEnforcement: The Undercover officer punctuates his "[[DrugsAreBad Winners don't do drugs]]" message by shooting the bags of cocaine in the car at the airfield. This would put him on the hook for ''destruction of evidence'', which is a federal crime (18 U.S.C. § 1519) penalized by a fine and/or up to 20 years imprisonment, [[RuleOfCool no matter how cool the shot looks]].

to:

* ArtisticLicenseLawEnforcement: Inevitable given the game operates on RuleOfCool, but standout examples include:
**
The promotion from SWAT to Delta Force, while impressive, is wildly unlikely, as the real-life [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Force Delta Force]] selects its members from the military and not from civilian police forces. Even if this were not the case, the promotion from "rookie" to "undercover" to SWAT to Delta Force would be highly improbable for a single officer in their lifetime, especially in the short amount of time the game suggests.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.
