I think he's supposed to be the bad guy. I think you're supposed to stop him but I could be wrong.

Yeah, that's the impression I get, too.
Still, they decided to include this quote in the launch trailer for the game, knowing that millions of people would see it due to Call of Duty's immense popularity.

It's possible that they put this in to create the very reaction you're having to it. They want you to be angry at this character and convince you to buy the game so you can defeat him.
What if these games aren't meant to trick people in to believing that a police state is good and instead make these characters out to be the bad guys to reinforce the idea that this is wrong?

Maybe, but it's not convincing me personally to buy the games. I haven't touched Call of Duty since probably 2010. It seems like carefully placed dialogue as a force of suggestion to me, but again, that's just my opinion.

I'd like to believe that, I really would. But I'm relatively convinced that TPTB have their hands in all forms of media, video games not excluded. Why wouldn't they integrate their ideas for mental conditioning in this medium when they do every other medium?
