Adult in the Room: Ford CEO Responds to Employees' Demands to Stop Making Police Vehicles
2020-07-10
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.

#9  Liberia does have police. They would find the difference between American and 3rd world policemen interesting.

#8  What's the UAW up to these days?

Meanwhile, you mean "they" haven't delved into Henry Ford's past yet?

#7  If BLM successfully defunds the police then no new orders will roll into Ford. Ford CEO needs to remember this note when layoffs are warranted.

#3  Since 2016, Ford Foundation has given roughly $7.8 million to Black Lives Matters and other similar groups through a partnership with Borealis Philanthropy.

I believe I may have located the problem.

#1  If the employees feel strongly about this perhaps they should resign?

Also they should move to a country without police. I suggest Liberia.
