If those guys are supposed to be in uniform - no two are dressed the same. One guy didn't tie his shoes, another's jacket doesn't fit. It is very sloppy and unprofessional looking.
I can't even get passed how gross it is to see this many cops standing in front of a business where there is no visible evidence of violent activity where people might be harmed. It just looks like a statement saying this is our priority - corporate welfare for the Uber rich and worst possible human specimens at the cost of taxpayer dollars. It's so gross I can't even work my way to the nuances of how these slobs are dressed.
It’s what policing is for. It’s never been about protecting people but businesses
There’s a reason people say officers are class traitors. Policing has never been about protecting the public; It has always been about suppressing the masses and protecting the elite.
JFC, since at least that demented shit Reagan, corporate welfare for the Uber rich and suppression of workers rights have been American domestic policy. And since the early 20th century it’s been a goal of the GOP. Arguably, corporate welfare and worker suppression have been founding principles of the US.
Considering slavery is legal under the original constitution I would say “worker suppression” is DEFINITELY a founding principle of the US.
Kind of what I meant.
Fits in perfectly with the Tesla brand then, doesn't it.
I burst out laughing at "heavy police presence", those guys look heavy alright.
Idk how many truth there is to this, but I saw someone else mention that they are off-duty and hired by Tesla to just stand there in uniform
It's more likely to be out of work security guards in their police cosplay.
