IMO it's not a police-level decision whether they use encrypted communication, or how that communication is handled down the line. Like you said, Element is Dunkin' Donuts; if you don't want your cops eating donuts, petition your local police dept to enforce that. DD just sells donuts, they're not activists. On the bright side, DD doesn't exclusively own the concept of donuts, and if someone doesn't like DD's policy of servicing everyone equally, they are able to go down the street and buy their donuts elsewhere. The analogy kinda breaks down when you consider the added detail that, in this case, "donuts" only exist because of the R&D that Dunkin' Donuts was able to fund by selling them to big buyers like police.
