A group of Ford employees has reportedly asked company executives to rethink its role in supplying vehicles to law enforcement organizations, making it the first large automotive manufacturer known to be facing internal pressure to change its relationship with American police departments.

The letter, which tipsters revealed to Jalopnik, was reportedly written by a group of employees (approximately 100, per the Detroit Free Press) who are concerned about Ford's cozy relationship with U.S. law enforcement agencies. It comes in the wake of a message delivered to company employees in early June calling for employees to come forward with suggestions for addressing racial and social injustice. Ford employees have also reportedly raised similar concerns in virtual town halls.

Even if the police force were a white supremacist entity, that would still be in-keeping with the values of the company's founder.

Goddammit.

Though I'm starting to realize that many white supremacist groups do not get along with eachother. simply because they are united in hate.

Alternately they could hire very small people to ride regular sized guys.

Great idea. Some serious out of the box thinking.
