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.
Yep. Only way to end fascism is to end fascists.
…i posit that the dead ones are still bad…
But a whole lot better than when alive.
My last comment on this:
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.
As much as your comment is the truth. It’ll get buried in the circle jerk of ACAB and the ignorance of your tax dollars at work crowd.
Just remember, cops are only there to protect capital. They are not your friends and do not work for us.
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.
It’s so nice of the police to form a barrier to keep unsuspecting people from shopping at a Nazi store
Or from returning their
EVsbombs to theEVbomb store.
Imagine risking your life to protect a cybertruck
Acab
Please let this picture be in grade-school history books for this section of history.
I’m as anti-fascist as the next person, but protecting a company from vandalism isn’t as fascist as you seem to want to think it is. Vandalism is illegal. They are law enforcement. That’s how that relationship works.
Would you say the same thing if they stood in front of a business that was under threat of being vandalized by MAGA clowns because they are publicly pro-diversity? At best I’d say the argument lies in the fact that they probably don’t need that many people, but we don’t really know what the reason was to load up that many stooges to protect that particular location.
Maybe some dumbass called in a threat?
Either way… go on and downvote away. I’m fully aware this isn’t the place for nuanced discussion.

Show me that news article.

Show of fascist force.

Yeah, Elon.
Show me that news article.
It’s a hypothetical. Look around. Communities like this use hypotheticals as the entire basis of their arguments seemingly ALL the time.
Show of fascist force.
By account of excessive use of persons? I’d agree. It’s wasteful. But stepping aside and allowing people to vandalize property just because it aligns with your personal belief is now how things work. This opens the gates for others to justify destroying your shit because they disagree with it.
Oh, and it doesn’t take being “Elon” to think it takes a dumbass to threaten physical damage to a person or place because they disagree with the owner’s politics-
It just takes being a mature adult that understands how nuance works.
Your hypothetical that never applies to the real world is not “nuance”.
they disagree with the owner’s politics-
“The owners politics” is Nazism.
If you decide to die on the hill protecting a Nazi, you’ll be known as the guy who died on the hill protecting a Nazi.
lol! There it is! I was wondering how long it would take before one of you broke out the “you’re a Nazi because you think it’s okay for police to stop vandalism!”
I’ll go ahead and tag you as a waste of time to avoid further discussions that devolve into bullshit false-accusations.
“you’re a Nazi because you think it’s okay for police to stop vandalism!”
Obviously I was talking about Elon Musk throwing Nazi salutes and welcome Nazis onto his online platform, and obviously you were waiting for someone to bring up how Elon Musk is a Nazi, because you are fully aware Elon Musk is a Nazi.

lol….
Nothing I said was protecting a Nazi. I’m simply stating that vandalism and destruction of property is illegal- regardless of one’s beliefs.
Would I shed a tear for him if he lost this entire company to a fucking sinkhole? Nope. But I won’t applaud people violating someone’s property because they don’t agree with it.
But… YOU took what I said to mean it’s protecting a Nazi. Because using bad faith to overcome nuance in a discussion is the only way you can argue.
I didn’t say you were doing that, I said if you were doing that.

Sure, once upon a time, freeing slaves was illegal - regardless of one’s beliefs.

That “if” carries a heavy load.
But it doesn’t.
So sad to see What Poland and other former communist countries saw 40 years ago…
