Publishers Notes: Employees, please STFU and earn your $90,000 per year by building whatever the owners tell you to build. Leave your politics at home. Union, stay out of things that don't concern you.
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.
Ford CEO Jim Hackett has a strong response:
“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.”

And again, they never riot, loot, or protest when it's black on black crime. I guess that's ok. Guess it's ok when blacks shoot and/or kill 70 other blacks on 4th of July weekend in Chicago. No looting, nothing said outside of local news in that area. These morons are playing right into the hand that's feeding them all this nonsense.
Rebel Without a Clue: But the cars burn so nicely. Why would you want to take that away from BLM?
Stupid bastards.
Take away their $90,000 salary plus their benefits and make them pay for their own health insurance. Do not allow UNIONS access to their property.
When the protest / pickets began then fire all participating and hire non-UNION people for $60,000 salary with benefits.
NO rehires or participants in the UNION strike.
They need to STOP building condoms that don't prevent single parent pregnancies. Problem solved!
Tell them Snowflakes to find another J.O.B.!
Unfortunately, because they are protected by a corrupt union they cannot be fired.
Jim Hacket did however, basically give them the finger.
These crybabies had better be looked at closely for sabotage if these vehicles. We have seen cops with charred glass in food. Chemicals in their drink's. These vehicles should be inspected throughly.
Yet on the other hand the Ford foundation has given millions to the bowel movement matters thugs so which is it ford? My best friend has been a ford man ever since the 60s switched and bought 2 GMs and a Dodge after hearing about fords support of these morons.
