    American tax payers dollars being diverted to support private organizations while its social services are being gutted.

    Musk is a Nazi, and the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

      My last comment on this:

      Nah, most likely Tesla money. Most often when you see police performing a “private” function like this they’re being paid by the requesting party.

      Just like cops escorting a funeral procession or directing traffic for a church or private school, they’re paid by whoever requested the service. Police departments are like any business. They got payroll to meet, obligations to cover, etc. They can’t just yank cops from their normal duties for shit like this. They use off-duty or “*retired” officers.

      Say what you will about capital hiring rent-a-cops, but they’re probably not doing this on our dime.

      * Buddy of mine was briefly a cop, could still strap on the uniform to escort a funeral or the like.

        As much as your comment is the truth. It’ll get buried in the circle jerk of ACAB and the ignorance of your tax dollars at work crowd.
