American tax payers dollars being diverted to support private organizations while its social services are being gutted.

Musk is a Nazi, and the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 47 points 2 months ago

Yep. Only way to end fascism is to end fascists.

...i posit that the dead ones are still bad...

[–] Bashnagdul@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

But a whole lot better than when alive.

Yeah but they're at least on a self improvement plan.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

But it's good that they're dead - gotta cling to that silver lining!

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

Shit, we're paying 18 million of our tax dollars for fat Cheeto man to play golf.

The police is always there to protect the status quo. And if the status quo means people and the world are being bled dry by a few psychopaths, then the police are a tool of these oppressors.

[–] qbus@lemmy.world 52 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's so nice of the police to form a barrier to keep unsuspecting people from shopping at a Nazi store

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

Or from returning their ~~EVs~~ bombs to the ~~EV~~ bomb store.

[–] Thrillhouse@lemmy.world 44 points 2 months ago

The function of the police is social control and protection of property.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To serve and protect rich Nazis.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

to be fair they also do this for people who get threatened with rape or other forms of violence.

oh wait no they don't.

[–] bruhssa@lemm.ee 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The question would be if they would deploy so many police troops to your local, small business or if this is just a benefit of being an oligarch.

[–] rocket_dragon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 months ago

I haven't seen evidence of police troops deployed like this to a small business so it's logical to conclude it's a benefit exclusive to oligarchs.

I wish someone would run them over with a truck, GTA style

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

The ultimate laugh would be an out of control autonomously driving car running them all down.

Class traitors.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

This makes no sense other than politics...

If you ignore politics, why would there ever need to be that many cops there like that?

Like why isn't 3 or 4 enough, or even 1 or 2?

A presence to deter a problem makes sense, this is like a comedy sketch.

[–] skittle07crusher@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 months ago

Please let this picture be in grade-school history books for this section of history.

[–] gamer@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago

Imagine risking your life to protect a cybertruck

[–] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 months ago

That's an overkill way to promote "Don't buy a Tesla".

[–] InternetPerson@lemmings.world 19 points 2 months ago
[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

This is more effective and less risky than actual vandalism. Stand out there and be our protest. Good work, cops.

[–] NightCrawlerProMax@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The problem is not they’re protecting a Tesla showroom. They should stop any and all possibilities of violence. That’s their job. The problem is that they wouldn’t show up for you or your neighborhood small business if they faced the same possibility of threat.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I also doubt that a dealership nested in an urban center is going to be targeted by arsons. They're just there to stop vandalism, something the dealership could do themselves by hiring night guards. Instead, the tax payers are paying.

[–] stopforgettingit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 months ago

Cops are employed to protect rich people's property, nothing else.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

Fuck the police that put companies over people. If you’re one of those cops… fuck you.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Those cops have more important places to be.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

A job hunting workshop?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

there's a black person in the area to shoot?

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Was there a threat made against that location? Or did they decide to waste the time of every police officer putting them there as a precaution?

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'd rather have them being useless guarding a nazi store then out amongt the public causing trouble and abusing citizens whilst utterly failing to do their jobs with any level of professionalism.

[–] CM400@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That is an excellent use of police resources.

It's easier for those cops to stand around than doing anything useful for society.

They get paid either way.

Can they do the same at every Tesla dealer 24/7??

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

I love this shit because it means the pigs aren't on the streets. Also makes for one large target.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

May be a good time to draw some inspiration from Ukraine's use of drones.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm curious how destroying Tesla dealerships hurts them. They have insurance, and are reimbursed after a claim. I get it shows how upset and discontent people are with the company. Am I missing something more?

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago

Several ways, although it’s not enough:

  • insurance rates go up, and eventually will make them uninsurable
  • until the dealership is rebuilt, they can’t really sell cars from there
  • sends a relatively strong message about how hated they are
  • dissuades people from shopping there
  • a point of escalation above a boycott, on the way towards a guillotine for the CEO.
[–] praxis_jack@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

It's always so damn obvious who they protect and serve. Some people just refuse to see it.
