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.
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.
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.
Demand your mayor and city council stop supporting this shit.
I mean, sure, absolutely. Not sure he's going to be able to hear me given the large crowd of police in between us. But I'll try and get my mayor's attention.
Why is tax money going to protect this shit?
Cause businesses like Tesla tip their elected reps generously.
A 3 year old was dumped at a hospital covered in bruises and died. Suspect not caught. But I feel safe knowing they're out there protecting what matters
Good god, why are they standing so close to each other! Properly motivated person with nothing to loose could take them out and still do some serious damage to the building, just with a stolen truck.
Not sure if those are real cops. Long time desk workers maybe?
As usual a great illustration of the cops real job - protecting rich folks property
That is a lot of manpower that could be used elsewhere, were they actually a public service.

And playing games with overtime numbers to maximize taxpayer drain.
Protect and serve (capital)
