    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.

      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.

    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.

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

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

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

    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.

      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.

    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.

    That’s an overkill way to promote “Don’t buy a Tesla”.
