Ford employees ask the company to stop making police cars

This shite is seriously getting out of hand.

That CEO better stand his ground. When will this crap end???

Employees inside Ford have asked the company’s leadership to stop making and selling police vehicles, according to Jalopnik. In response, Ford CEO Jim Hackett has told employees in a letter that he doesn’t think it’s “controversial that the Ford Police Interceptor helps officers do their job” and that Ford will continue the business.
quote:
The internal discussion, which Ford confirmed to The Verge, comes as the country is gripped by national movements for racial justice and against police brutality that were sparked by the killing of George Floyd.
Ford is far and away the leading automaker in the US when it comes to making and selling specially-designed vehicles for law enforcement, making up some two-thirds of the market. While it’s not a big source of the company’s annual revenue (which was $156 billion in 2019), Ford has long maintained that its overall lineup benefits from new technologies that get tested in the police vehicles (like hybrid electric drivetrains, for example).
quote:
Other employees have since signed onto the letter (though it’s unclear how many) and they want the company to take some kind of action by July 15th, according to Jalopnik. “Our resources can and should be diverted to other forms of first response and public safety,” the employees wrote.

“Oh I work for ford and don’t like what they make?
Should I get a new job? No ford should stop making what I don’t like.”

I'd find out exactly who those employees are and fire them if they are unwilling to perform the duties that earn them a paycheck by Ford.
I'm sure there are others that would love to take their place.

I would fire every fricking one of those employees for not understanding that Ford's business is selling cars.

Probably have union protection. It also might not be legal to fire them due to their disabilities. Since they’re clearly retarded.

Fire every single one of them. Plenty of people out work to pick up the slack.

You know if you aren't inclined to break the law, that very police car you don't want to make may be the very one that comes to your rescue in case of a wreck, fire, health emergency, etc.
It's been over run by so many media that cops are only bad to minorities, minorities just can't see anything else.

If they feel that strongly about it, they should quit.

Plot twist: Ford employees are actually trying to save cops from poorly timed breakdowns and carbon monoxide poisoning.

It won't stop there if they cave in.
Anyone know what the most popular vehicle color is? Ford should stop making those too.

Makes sense. Two former industry powerhouses that have really sucked in the last few decades
