Despite never showing support for...

[SheaDy]

Mills as mayor, he still ends up becoming mayor.

Despite both parties asking for my endorsement, the one I support loses because the public had no trust for me?

I'm confused, did me giving tickets to every possible violator result in the public hating me?
But that doesn't get balanced out by the amount of lives I've saved?

Mills: "do it for robocop's human rights, and new-detroit"

The Public: "Oh yea sure sounds great."

Robocop: "Vote for Kuzak."

The Public: "Screw that, you ticketed homeless people who were violating public property, despite the countless gang member you took down in the name of justice, you and Kuzak can go die in a hole."

I did not support anyone and give a ♥♥♥♥ who wins. It is only a game. Come on!

Maybe because it might be unintended?
People hating Robocop because he upholds the law seems backwards.
For every street urchin there are at least 5-10 upstanding citizens.

"Uphold the law" doesn't necessarily mean ticketing all violators. Who do you like better, the officer who recognizes you making a mistake or being put in a hard place and lets you off with a warning (or, worst-case, implores you to turn yourself in for reduced sentences), or the officer who basically says "Here's your ticket. If you have a problem, you can stop being criminal scum."

Robocop ticketing everyone basically comes off as Officer Hardass. Of course people are gonna hate him for being unnecessarily strict.

I'll take officer hardass any day of the week if it means criminal scum are off the street.
I bet you most other people probably think the same way (not on steam forums tho, only scum resides here).

He's not being a hardass anyways, pretty much every infraction you can ticket for is something no one wants to see in public.

Bout the only infraction that makes robocop seem like a hardass is ticketing for leaking oil.

The game told me countless times that I somehow supported both of them, but Kuzak one.

There irony is none of them actually matter. If Kuzak wins, Detroit is still modern day Chicago, and iirc, if Mills wins, he just books it saying the city is unsavable or something, don't really remember.

lmfao

It doesn't matter anyway as none of them are mentioned in RoboCop 3, for that reason, Mills is the best choice.

Mills wants to throw out the wheat with the chaff. Kuzak wants to oust OCP.
Either way, the only thing that could fix Detroit is an asteroid.

Or Red Ramrod Nuke.

Welcome to a pretty accurate representation of how the public IRL views cops. It doesn't matter how much good you do, if some of the people with you are bad or if you do your job and that inconveniences people, they will hate you for it.

You can ticket some people that are violating more serious laws but much like how it should work in real life, things like littering, loitering, graffiti, etc (you know, truly petty crimes) should really just get a warning or community service (heck that one guy you can actually give community service is pumped about the implications).

I'm on my fourth playthrough and I tend to let people off for minor violations (though I always give parking tickets and fine anyone who's just being a d!ck). The only time I've seen Mills win is when I just refused to make a public statement about who I support. If I finally say I support Kuzak when the reporter asks at the start of the arms fair, he always wins.

Since I LOOOOOVVVEEEDDD the ability to not make everybody jump off buildings by just seeing me, I just did get people warnings instead of tickets and so, made Mills win.
