Jalopnik reports that a group of Ford Motor Company employees want the auto giant to stop making vehicles for police.
Ford employees have asked the automaker to stop building police cars, according to a Jalopnik report published Wednesday. The request comes as countless Black Lives Matter protests continue throughout America and around the globe, sparked by the killing of George Floyd.
Jalopnik fails to report that since the protests devolved into riots and “defund the police” swept across the nation, violent crime and murder have surged in several major cities, including New York, Chicago, Baltimore, and Seattle.
The employee letter is typical of the anti-police hysteria of our moment:
“Throughout history, the vehicles that Ford employees design and build have been used as accessories to police brutality and oppression,” workers wrote in a letter to Ford CEO Jim Hackett and Chairman Bill Ford, according to Jalopnik. “We know that while many join, support or supply law enforcement with good intentions, these racist policing practices that plague our society are historic and systemic — a history and system perpetuated by Ford for over 70 years — ever since Ford introduced the first-ever police package in 1950. As an undeniable part of that history and system, we are long overdue to ‘think and act differently’ on our role in racism.”
All these demand notes sound the same. They have a similar ominous and accusatory voice and style. Serious question: Who is writing them? The mainstream media never turns over that particular rock.

I wouldn’t trust those line workers as far as I could throw them.
It’s not weaponry. It’s lack of will. If we wanted to destroy every terrorist organization we can with weaponry alone. We lack the will to win wars.
That’s because every kinetic action & reaction ends up on TV where it is endlessly 2nd guessed to one political advantage or the other.
“I would send everyone working in the police cars home for a week.
Tell them they are laid off”
Why? They’d still be paid because they’d all go over to the UAW mandated “job bank” where they sit around watching TV and drink coffee.
Why?
Give them a taste of what the layoffs will be like if they quit making cop cars
Ford the automaker and the Ford Foundation are separate entities and have been for years.
The former will continue making cars for police departments around the country. The latter is making it far more difficult for police to do their already difficult jobs, and it has innocent blood on its hands.
Good point. Part of the media’s Psyops
Ford the automaker funds the Ford Foundation who in turn funds BurnLootMurder communists/terrorists.
Of course, Ford the automaker could “suggest” to the Ford Foundation to stop funding the communist & terrorist groups...if they so desired.
Follow the money.
PING!
“Follow the money.”
To Soros.
