Demand your mayor and city council stop supporting this shit. Why is tax money going to protect this shit?
You kidding? This is probably the best use of cops. Instead of harassing minorities they’ve created a human shield that will scare off people from purchasing Nazi mobiles.
If tax money is going to cops, they might as well be doing the job of a protest but more effectively.
I’d rather they not be used to defend billionaires. If this is what they spend their time doing then we could save some money in the budget by firing them.
“To serve and protect… the rich”.
The police will NEVER work for us under a capitalist system.
As usual a great illustration of the cops real job - protecting rich folks property
Protect and serve (capital)
That is a lot of manpower that could be used elsewhere, were they actually a public service.
As I understand it to be, these guys are off duty and have no guns in their holsters and they’re getting paid by tesla. That’s how it usually works but I bet these cheques are signed by the feds.
Then they are all impersonation police officers and should be charged with federal crimes.

Can you impersonate a police officer if you work as one?
If Pepycito is right, they might be employed as police officers, but they’re not currently working as officers. I’m no expert on US law, so I don’t know if that actually counts as impersonation, but knowing the US it proposal doesn’t matter since it wouldn’t be enforced anyway.
In the US, they are always cops, on duty or off. That’s why lots of places like hiring them for security. They can instantly arrest people, justified or not, and can often carry a gun where other people are not allowed to.
We have nothing resembling actual enforcement of law here.

the news for basically the next 4 years at least.
I’m in Canada, I don’t know how it works other places. Here’s a police services hiring board if you’re interested.
And playing games with overtime numbers to maximize taxpayer drain.
Look, they aren’t doing anything, I should cut their funding…oh shit that wasn’t good. I guess I’ll spend a third of our taxes on this.
No you cut the funding that goes to poor people, so when they start to revolt, you can use that savings to help fund your security to protect you from the angry poor people, and spend more on security then you would have spent just keeping the poor people happy.
This is what conservatives call, “fiscal responsibility”.
this is the worst part of conservativism; even if you were a complete asshole, the money it takes to clean up after someone steals something costs more than just making that available.
Wow so Tesla finally found its target audience, huh?
I didn’t know pigs could drive 🤔
They can’t, that’s why they keep dying in car crashes
Peak efficiency.
You’ve heard of Bay of Pigs, but now we have Wall of Pigs
Ah, so that’s what Elon is “freeing up” budget for
