Ford employees ask company to stop making police cruisers
By Marty Johnson - 07/09/20 03:05 PM EDT

Roughly 100 Ford employees have asked the auto company to stop its production and selling of police vehicles amid continuing nationwide protests calling for the end of police brutality and total police reform.

Protests have permeated the country for well over a month that were sparked after the death of George Floyd, and unarmed black man who died in Minneapolis police custody on May 25.

Ford told the Detroit Free Press that the requests for Ford to stop making police vehicles have been "respectful" and "constructive."


"We want to hear and listen to all employees, understand their point of view and be transparent about the actions and positions we are taking," Mark Truby, Ford's chief communications officer, told the paper. "It's a healthy dialogue."

Here's the first 100 employees that will be laid off due to the decline in police vehicle sales.

While they are at it, why don't they ask me to quit buying F-150's too.  I don't mind putting them out of a damned job.

Dumbasses.

OTOH, Ford employs 100,000, so this is about 0.1% of their total workforce.

The other 99,900 need to trap them in an alley and enact some justice.

Considering we already are under the thumb of a tyrannical minority, don't be surprised if these jackasses get their wish.

...  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.

Ford CEO Jim Hackett has a strong response:
Quote
    “By taking away our Police Interceptors, we would be doing harm to their safety and making it harder for them to do their job. Again, this is why, given our insights, new capabilities and leadership, I believe these unfortunate circumstances present Ford with an even greater opportunity to not only innovate new solutions but also leverage our unique position to support the dialogue and reform needed to create safer communities for all.”
Shorter version: No. We’re not going to stop making police cars. Now get back to work. ...

Jim Hackett is a class act - a rarity among the 'Big Boys Club'.

Meanwhile, their owners' own foundation (tax shelter to keep money in the hands of the dead long after they are able to use it) is funding the same movement.

If these morons are building the cruisers, it may be time to contract with Toyota.
