The Ford Motor Companys website features the automakers long relationship with law enforcement that dates back seven decades and includes its tagline for the vehicles it has designed for the men and women in blue police-tested, street proven.
But now the wave of social unrest and virtue signaling following the death of George Floyd while in police custody is taking over the corporate world, including at Ford, where workers are urging leadership to stop manufacturing cop cars.
This despite the fact that Ford expresses pride about its connection to law enforcement, according to its website:
Ford introduced the first-ever police package in 1950. Over the following decades, weve worked alongside law enforcement agencies with a purpose-built philosophy that continues today. Every vehicle is built with what we call the Ford Police DNA safety, durability, performance, purpose built and upfit friendly.
Like the officers who drive them, Ford police vehicles are specialized to meet the needs of the communities they serve providing law-enforcement agencies of all stripes with the ideal tools to get the job done.
But now anti-police rhetoric is spilling over into action taken against not just police officers who have committed crimes but all men and women in uniform 800,000 in the United States, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
Since the first recorded police death in 1786, there have been more than 22,000 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, the memorial website states.

This is not Russia 1917.
And we don't have Nicholas II as Czar.
If Soros thinks he is Lenin he is sadly mistaken.
“Buttwig”.
There’s that word again... and it’s a Two syllable word. Hmm... be careful with those, you may hurt yourself.
:? well alright then.
i know its probably the safer bet assumption a corporation will go libtard virtue signalling but ford makes a LOT of money off police vehicles and theyare in a business of expensive tangible products it doesn’t want to see vandalized by lawlessness and dismantling of law enforcement personnel
All good brother. :^)
You have yourself a great night, sport. It’s been fun.
Really.
100? That is a small fraction of Ford’s employees.
Companies make fleet vehicles all the time. Big profit in that AND under contract.
Fire them.

100 workers is enough to do a lot of sabotage. also, the 100 who wrote might not be the same workers as the would be saboteurs.
Fire all of them. Immediately. With prejudice. Enough is enough !
Ford isn’t going to give up their police car business anymore than they’re going to stop making trucks.
Now the Ford Foundation is another story altogether and have been funding the farthest left causes known to man, just as most other old family foundations have been.

Oh, and I say that having never owned a Ford in my entire life.
And I’m sure that it was ALL the employees, every last one of them.
The lying media makes it sound like all are on board with this, when likely, as usual, it’s only a vocal few who are calling the shots.
