It's not a well thought out protest. Do the Ford employees expect the cops to jog to their house when someone has broken in?

- jasonv 6y agoTaking a position that gets noticed feels "well thought out" to me. Individually we all can't solve it all, but if they're able to take this stand and make it uncomfortable enough for management, they've done something that may contribute to the changes they're looking for. Like, say, Amazon de-listing Washington Redskins merch. I personally love that move. Maybe, collectively, these things lead to the changes. If police departments feel pressure in many different ways, they may start allowing for leadership and changes that have a material impact in the way they operate.
- PCI-eX16 6y agoIf Ford stops making custom police vehicles and products, it will not prevent current police fleets from rolling nor will it prevent police from buying regular production vehicles. If that's your concern, consider it allayed.
- Alupis 6y agoIt's not like Police nation-wide are required to purchase Ford vehicles. It's a giant cash cow for Ford. This will only hurt Ford. Police already have vehicles... and they can source new vehicles from any other willing company... even if it was a foreign company like Toyota.
- sjtindell 6y agoI think the point would be more in the statement it makes, not really blocking the police from getting vehicles.
