Class traitors. All of them.
What a completely reasonable and absolutely not wasteful use of police time and resources! “Hello, 911? My house is being robbed!” “Sorry, no officers are available because they’re at the Tesla dealership”
How do the police get paid again? I always forget.
Serve and Protect (the rich and their property through a taxpayer subsidy)
No one reads the fine print.
When you’re very closed to the end-game and previously safe town areas are now spawning enemies, and the music is more ominous.
Native here, and yeah the Chicago police union is basically its own damned shadow government. Fuck these pigs.
“We are not wasting tax money here!”
DOGE approved
Yeah sure…the thin blue line is BS. The police always protect the wealthy property owners and bust up the working class. I believe Netflix has a US police history documentary and who they side with during upheavals.
the thin blue line means they won’t snitch on each other’s crimes… that’s the line they won’t cross….
which makes them literally a criminal conspiracy
I’d be so pissed if I lived in Chicago. What a waste of funding.
20-some officers protecting shitty hunks of metal, when there’s murderers, rapists, pedofiles, and human traffickers roaming free. This image perfectly sums up their commitment to protecting the Lifestyles of the Rich and Fascist over the rest of us.
no, no, most of the pedophiles and human traffickers were standing in a neat little line with hands by their sides when this photo was taken, not roaming or doing said acts.
edit: wait, chicago, so there are probably a bunch more of them not accounted for in this picture.
The Police in USA are there to protect Capital Interests. Their job to keep the status quo.
The Police in USA
Their job to keep the status quo.
That’s what they do in all countries.
Not just the USA, ALL police uphold status quo.
Well said
Cops are class traitors
ACAB
Hmm. Did they do that for abortion clinics when they were being bombed?
That really makes me want to buy a Tesla. They must be great if all those cops have to protect them.
If the police are lining up to protect it, that just means it belongs to someone filthy rich.
Man, look at that pile of tax money.
So I guess, if you want to commit a real crime you just threaten the Tesla dealership then go do your business elsewhere
Nah, most likely Tesla money. Most often when you see police performing a “private” function like this they’re being paid by the requesting party.
Just like cops escorting a funeral procession or directing traffic for a church or private school, they’re paid by whoever requested the service. Police departments are like any business. They got payroll to meet, obligations to cover, etc. They can’t just yank cops from their normal duties for shit like this. They use off-duty or “*retired” officers.
Say what you will about capital hiring rent-a-cops, but they’re probably not doing this on our dime.
* Buddy of mine was briefly a cop, could still strap on the uniform to escort a funeral or the like.
If that’s the case… it’s better, but I really would rather them not be able to wear the uniform or have police powers off duty outside of an emergency.
To corroborate your buddy’s story: Trump repeatedly refused to pay for the extra police needed for his rallies.
Red rover red rover, send molotov right over
