“911 what’s your emergency?”
“Help I’m being murdered!”
“Oh too bad, all of our officers are busy at the moment”
For those asking why, there was a planned protest, “Takedown Tesla, Trump, and Tyranny”, hosted by Indivisible Chicago earlier today.

If he wants protection he can pay for it himself, I don’t want my tax dollars paying for this.
Waste of tax paying money what a joke that’s up to the dealership to hire security morons
When my landlord demolished my only functional bathroom down to dirt/bare studs out of spite because I didn’t use her as a reference to move… The police told me it was a civil matter.
If that same landlord had called them to help evict me, they would be by her side.
Police are there to protect capital, not the people.
America has lost its way. There’s like 30 cops wasting their time protecting the assets of a foreigner.
I mean.. that’s fine. Are people really walking to buy a Tesla still with all those police officers there?
The solution is helping tank sales just as much as the protests are.
Very good example of why many people hate American police, among the many other good reasons. They protect the billionaires more than the average citizen. Tesla should be hiring private security, not wasting our tax dollars to protect their stupid vehicles.
They can’t be there *every* day.

Billionaire can’t hire his own security? 🤔Tell me again who the drain on the system is? The “parasite class” Or the billionaires that hoard their money and expect the tax payers to cover the costs?
I hate Illinois Nazis.
How ineffective are your officers that you need that many to guard a … car lot?
This has to be the embarrassing thing to think you are such a badass, and you are just standing around with 30 of your department being a mall cop.
Someone in true danger had to wait longer for help to arrive because the entire force was busy protecting the feelings of a spineless billionaire. A true demonstration of US priorities
Some of those that work forces………..
I’d be calling the governor or mayor asking them to justify this waste of city money. All those cops answer to someone higher who answer to someone higher. Keep going up the ladder till you get to the top and CONTINUALLY ask why your tax money is paying for this and remind them all that elected officials are suppose to be civil servants not SELF SERVANTS.
Every time you see or hear the phrase, “To project and serve” I want you to imagine this photo. Understand who and what this phrase is referring to. Know that it’s not you and it’s not your property.
Do(d)ge-ing real police work …

I mean… the job of the police isn’t to protect the poor… it’s to protect the wealthy FROM the poor… sure, there are cases where they may help a poor or two… but this is their overall purpose.
What a waste
Paid pig gang.
Protecting the interests of their overlord. What’s the full context?
Elon is the King of Parasites. This is a government subsidy. Waste of money, too.
Gotta make sure those precious Swasticars are ok
Because there aren’t a 1000 other crimes these officers could be “preventing”. Go arrest some health care CEO’s or rich assholes who commit wage theft!
I hate Illinois Nazis
That’s not efficient government spending
Richest man in the world wasting public resources to protect the brand he put under threat with his actions. DOGE indeed.
This is the same police force that came out claiming they have no obligation to protect the public.
That’s all cops do. Protect wealth.
Wow. Maybe don’t allow a foreign billionaire to get involved in politics.
Also: tax the rich.
The royal guard has to protect the mad kings jester.
I’d like to think they are preventing anyone from going in and buying a Tesla. I’m wrong but that what I like to think.
Gross
It’s not a public building. Tell him to hire his own security
Wonder if they’d protect my small business with that level of force? Oligarchy doing its thing.
Imagine if they protected us the same way.
We didn’t even have this many officers protecting the capitol on January 6th.
Oligarchs once again being protected by the very socialism they fight so hard to dismantle.
Waste of tax payer money, both Chicago PD protecting a building and Tesla.
