The police force accepting millions from a billionaire, I can see absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Apparently that's been how it works for decades, which explains why cops will show up to break strikes and protect a Starbucks, but will take hours to arrive if you ever need them.
There's a lot of police forces and police-adjacent organisations that will accept donations (FOP and the like), and that obviously affects the priorities when it comes to assigning personnel.
Ngl, the police have been in the pockets of the rich for a very long time. This is just a thank you for the extra work they have been doing to protect capital.
Their whole existence has been to protect capital.

Then they won't mind the drones hovering ominously above their own homes and workplaces 24 hours a day, will they? They should be thrilled to demonstrate how safe and non-invasive constant surveillance is for the rest of us when the FOIA requests for their recordings start coming in
They're using this to gather facial biometric data to deanonymize protestors. Everyone stay safe and cover your face, else they'll use it against you!!
I have just finished all the watch dog games, looks like they'll be a sequel after all!
"grift" is misspelled.
