That seems like a huge inefficiency, DOGE should eliminate it.

The police are there to protect the business interests of the richest man in the world.
They call regular people “terrorists” for daring to stand up to fascism in any small way.
They start a manhunt for the murder of the CEO of a health insurance company while ignoring the murders of countless regular people every day.
Private property is protected, while it’s been made illegal to be homeless.
What a sick and decrepit society.

Police aren’t here for for the common citizen, they’re for sale to the highest bidder like everything else in this shit hole of United States of Capitalism. Fuck the police. ACAB.

This really does illustrate the idea that police aren’t there to “serve and protect.” They are there to keep the common people in line so that the rich can stay safe.
MrVilliam@lemm.ee 3 days ago
Mask off moment. Their purpose is to protect capital. The only crimes that cops prevent are through deterrence because they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.
LilB0kChoy@lemm.ee 2 days ago
they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.
This isn’t unique to the US. It is called law enforcement so even if it wasn’t a completely broken and horseshit system crime prevention would not be part of their purview.
You prevent/reduce crime by addressing the underlying societal issues that are contributing to it.

There’s a website to track elons plane.
echodot@feddit.uk 2 days ago
What he gets really irritated about is the fact that you have to file a flight plan and that flight plan has to be public, because obviously otherwise it wouldn’t work.
So anyone at any time can track his plane, and no matter how rich he is fuck all he can do about it
Saleh@feddit.org 2 days ago
He could just take another form of transportation. There is no public records of cars driven or train tickets purchased.
He could even fly with normal airlines so there would be no public record of his flight.

These days you don’t need to be committing a crime to get arrested. You just need to be annoying the wrong people.

I thought Elon was behind this since Tesla’s aren’t selling well. They should start from there.
Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I guess a few agents get to slack off for a while rather than actually work. I know if I were in their position, I’d just be “following up on possible leads” for a while.
Honestly, for an FBI agent, it’s insulting to be asked to do special monitoring for an unelected official’s private business. They have more important things to do.
PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 days ago
And hasn’t fElon already gone back to “save” the company, so he’s not even at DOGE anymore?

Hey Tesla don’t know if it would work but if I see one alone at a dealership totally going to toss a gas rag in and burn baby burn like Gone In 60 seconds. Ok now that I am a terrorist can I get three hots and a cot for about 4 years, then sue the ever living shit out of the US government? Then buy Reddit or whatever and shut it down and use the rest to promote lemmy.world

An anagram of ‘domestic terrorist’ is moist or restricted
Which probably applies to Trumpo
