Government organizations, including police departments, use software just like businesses and individuals do. When governments switch to free and open source software like Element or other Matrix clients, it adds transparency to their operations and saves taxpayer money. It makes no sense to protest Element being used by governments or police, since it is certainly better than the more costly proprietary alternatives. Element could have done more to emphasize in their communications that they are working to provide end-to-end encrypted messaging services to government, and not to leak other users' end-to-end encrypted messages to any government. But boycotting Element or Matrix because it is also used by government or police for secure end-to-end encrypted messaging is strange logic that I can't see most people adopting.
