Ford CEO Rebuffs Employee Calls To Stop Making Police Cars

Ford CEO Rebuffs Employee Calls To Stop Making Police Cars

Ford Motor Co.’s top executive has pushed back against some employees calling for the top seller of vehicles to U.S. police departments to exit the business.

Chief Executive Jim Hackett sent a more than 600-word letter to senior staff in response to messages he’s received both from within and outside Ford’s ranks to reconsider producing police vehicles.

Hackett, 65, said that while he and Executive Chairman Bill Ford support the Black Lives Matter movement and believe police should operate with more transparency and accountability, first responders “play an extraordinarily important role in the vitality and safety of our society.”

LOL I don’t blame Ford, They have to make police cars, the general public doesn’t care for the bland boring Explorer, I don’t know anyone actively shopping for one

Ford just don’t Choke the Police Officers to death of cause them to pass out due to carbon monoxide leaks like the last Gen.

#Do Better, or Police Officers will tell you to stop making the pieces of shits too! LMAO

If you read the CEO's response it is a very well rooted and fact based statement. Things need to change with policing for sure. But vehicles are not really part of the problem or a solution to it.

Chief Executive Jim Hackett and Executive Chairman Bill Ford stated they support the Black Lives Matter operation.
Here is a FLASH for your Ford execs:
Black Lifes Matter has NOTHING TO DOING WITH SAVING BLACKS.
Black Lifes Matter is a MARXIST TERRORIST organization dedicated toward overthrowing the U.S. government.

HOW DARE FORD support terrorist organizations!
Ford is INSANE and ANTI American.

HAHAHA....they got you Maaaaaaaad!

If Black Lives Matter is a terrorist group, they’ve got to be the most cuddly sweet harmless terrorist group I know because I still haven’t heard of them killing, murdering, shooting or lynching thousands of victims like KKK, ISIS, or MASS SHOOTERS the latter visits Churches, Offices, Schools, Concerts, and festivals near you, usually a white male killing 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 plus white ppl in seconds with no remorse

But I digress...carry on LOL

Hi darling, has always been proud of excellent treatment of black staff and is this any different.

You guys will never get us back to the Republican side (straight ticket) after what you have done the past 5 decades.

Only a more viable new party or powerful third-party choice, will move black people away from Democrats.

Especially in how Democrats seem to favor illegal immigration, for which includes bigoted (anti-African/black) elements of many Asian and Latino immigrants, versus respecting the concerns of their black citizens.

For now we all vote Democrat, as Rosa or Hu Li is less likely to be problematic for us.

Live with that true or change your ways, which currently champion white supremacy.

Ricksome- I don’t give a fuck what he is, until you can say the founder is a mass murderer like the groups I mentioned, he’s a step above them in my book. When you have killed, murdered, lynched and gone on a mass shooting spree, then that’s when I have a problem with you.

Him being whatever you claim he is doesn’t put food on my family’s table nor take it away or their lives like the KKK, ISIS, Mass Shooters, and gangs do

Thank you Bossman! There are many things I want to see happen as a black male with police REFORM, but we do not need to give into something of that degree.

I trusted his judgment and thankfully proving me right in this respect. Anyone outside of for suggesting that is tone deaf, but at the same time those of us within, I don't understand why you need that?

And no, I am not a self-hating sell out.

Perhaps the 72% of Black families without Fathers should love their own and the #1 killer of Black Children is abortion. Fatherless boys is a ticket to prison and dem's the facts.... Lets not even discuss B on B violence and murder... if BLM than THIS is the problem, not getting killed by cops while resisting arrest oh and that fact is 6% of the population 52% of the cop killings... everything else is fake news.

If you want to seriously address the issue that's where to start, not overthrowing the Constitution and Govt. But terrorists aren't interested in truth, only power. Which is why Dem's don't give a rat about the black community, they've delivered zero for the support they've received. Now CarFaker1 and Clueless4Life - engage your hate and anger and start swearing... truth hurts. But "I" wish these things would change to improve the lives of all citizens..

Black Lives Matter is setting black advancement back several decades with their stupidity.

Black Lives Matter should NOT be calling for the destruction of the police but should be saying "Please increase your presence in our predominantly black neighborhoods where there is high crime and we will stand strong with you to destroy crime."

Because they are coming down on the side of increasing crime, they slandering an entire culture.

LMAO Perhaps white families producing 90% of Mass Shooters should father their boys more so they learn how to deal with their emotions or “short comings” without going on a Mass Shooting Sprees the #1 killer of White Students. Angry boys is a ticket to prison and dem therrr the facts...Let’s not even discuss white on white mass shootings and murder....not being killed by an angry white male on the loose while studying, worshipping, partying, shopping, or a corrupt officer for simply sleeping in bed, a broken taillight, or wrong house....everything else is fake news

Xjug of shit and the ref of his community should address mass shooters and actually groups killing people, not wage their energy on BLM which did not kill 59 white people in seconds at a Vegas concert. That was a thug animal bandit white male.But terrorist aren’t interested in the truth, only power. Which is why retardicans don’t give a rat about the white community, they just sit back and watch the whites kill eachother at schools, concerts, and churches. Now xjugofshit and Mdelusional engage your hate and swearing truth hurts. But “I” wish these things would change to improve the lives of all students, church goers, concert goers, and all citizens

KKK, Mass Shooters, and “Corrupt” Police Officers = Domestic Terrorists

Exactly, the black community is being hijacked by race baiters and poverty pimps like Sharpton, and BLM Marxists, etc... who benefit from "being their voice". The DemoRats and these Charlatans are destroying lives and ruining the benefits these citizens could have on society and the futures they deserve. Black citizens and all citizens would be wise to abandon the DemoTrash Party as it is the party of American destruction not progress.

Crud4Loser - we're not talking about the rare, freak, insane, mass shooter, we're talking about helping the Black Community and saving lives and our sincere desire that our fellow citizens thrive and prosper. WE truly desire that for them and all citizens, but absolutely not on BLM.

The white community is doing just fine except for all the Marxists trying to label everyone of them as White Supremacist. They even say, "you might not even know it but if you move across the street (because you fear for your safety or your families from some toad who will cold cock you and get away with it...) you're a racist. I and every common sense person rejects that racists labeling. But it doesn't matter to some, LABEL first to set the narrative, and that makes them gutless cowards as are their supporters...

Xjugofshit - LMAO RARE??? Mass Shootings happened EVERY MONTH in this country before the pandemic , we want to help the White Community and saving lives and our sincere desire that our fellow citizens are safe and unharmed. WE truly desire that for them and all citizens, but absolutely not on KKK/Mass Shootings.

The Black Community is resilient even in the face of systemic racism and bigots who say blacks are lazy on one end but when they see a black man succeed like Brandon At NASCAR in his executive role, they say he doesn’t deserve and tear him down. Can’t have it both ways. They even say, “you might not even know it but if you succeed in corporate America and school despite the odds, it’s tokenism (because they cant fathom the thought of a black man/woman being more successful or intelligent than them) you’re a token. I and every common sense person rejects that tokenism racist labeling. But it doesn’t matter to some, LABEL first to set the narrative, and that makes them brainless cowards as are their supporters...

C4L - while we disagree on a host of things Matt and I truly would love to help the Black Community to find prosperity and peace they seek. They're our fellow citizens. You can say whatever you want but certainly since 64 this nation has bent over backwards to find and eliminate "structural" barriers and there are laws to prevent it. If people use their positions to block progress due to their own issues that's breaking the law and THEY should face the consequences. We don't need companies in this nation supporting Marxist organizations bent on overthrowing the form of Govt we have, those orgs ARE breaking the law and should be stopped.

Clearly your comments about some "cant fathom others prospering" bro those folks will always be with us on both sides. But the fact that Barry Soetoro was elected 2X SHOULD say something about the American people and if some say it doesnt' then they are unreasonable and they have issues. I never supported BS because of who he was (unqualified community organizer) and what he did, (endless list) but I never and millions never attributed his skin color to anything. So, there are unreasonable people on both sides but that will never change.

That said the Black Community has their own Structural issues and fixing the above will help, starting with work that brings so much to ones self esteem. Trump has provided that and BS never did because he had no interest in doing so only stoking the differences. I don't think I'm special or unreasonable so I think this is accurate.

Diversity is we all look different, Conformity is we are all forced to think alike..

Black people will never go Republican, live with it and stop trying to gaslight them hoping they'll fall for your BS. You couldn't be any more tone-deaf if you think that's going to happen.

If they need to rebuild themselves and stop listening to Democrats, it would only happen when a 3rd choice can overtake Republicans and Democrats.

Mentioning Chicago a billion times and manipulated statistics as justification to kill or harass every one of us isn't going to change that.

You people have alienated black people (outside of white supremacy sympathizers) and are quite content with it, because you're racist scumbags at the core of it. You just want the votes you are never going to have.

You modern day white Republicans have never been well-meaning individuals, only some of you and non-aligned white people. And even so plenty of Democrats are racist, but they are outnumbered by those who aren't.

The endless murders in Chicago are the job of the Chicago Police Department to handle and not chase after unarmed black civilians, because it's easier to shoot them, than armed gangbangers messing up Chicago.

I care more about their failure to bring armed black killers TO HEEL, because it's so much easier to kill random black civilians who are more defenseless. Very typical of you trash to deflect from the main problem at hand, because obfuscation and gaslighting is your modus operandi.

Growing up in a wealthy black immigrant family and far from it, I have nothing to do with why someone committed a crime in the ghetto over someone taking over "their turf".

Virtually everything you knuckle dragging hicks say here endorses the harassment and killing of anyone ni**er in your eyes.

As some people say, "you ain't clever!" I see through the gaslighting. Very trashy website now, abandoned by many others who once frequented here in the 2000s.

Stockholm syndrome: "Black people will never go Republican..."

The Democrats have enslaved blacks into thinking that the plantation owner is their only hope. Democrats are the most anti-black party and it pervades their history.

Chicago is a DemoRat mess and has been for 70 years or more. NYC was a mess under Dinkins and became pristine under Giuliani. Bloomberg and Leftists De Blow Hard took over and this is what they bring. You want black neighborhoods to be safe first of all let them defend themselves and empower them. Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the nation and its a shooting gallery, because law breakers don't care and law abiding taxpaying citizens play by the rules and are getting murdered for it. Secondly allow the cops to do their job without fear of being locked up. Thirdly if blacks are pulled over show some respect for authority, its pretty simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=OEvMc-K8XHY&feature=emb_title

Weak, pathetic DemoRat Mayors like Rahm, and Lightfool, seriously... DemoRats create problems so they get your votes to fix the problems, except they never do. Trump is a do-er and he's a threat to the status quo which is why the Deep State hates him... but he'll win again in 100 days. So you know if he doesn't the nation will resemble Chicago in about 6 months... that's the DemoRat plan that is ALL they offer and BLM is right there with them...

Bottom Line Trump is an embarrassment, the world is laughing at our lack of leadership right now, his whole MAGA campaign makes him look like a complete MORON in the face of this Pandemic and should be changed to MABA MAKE AMERICA BROKE AGAIN, just like his bankrupt companies

To the dumbasses out there, until the KKK & MASS SHOOTERS are addressed, protested, and executed for the THOUSANDS of people they MURDERED, I don’t want to hear a damn thing about Black Lives Matter

Show me videos of Black Lives Matter, murdering, shooting, choking, and lynching thousands like the KKK, Mass Shooters, and corrupt police officers and then we can talk

Until then, SIT YOUR STUPID ASS DOWN and shut the fuck up like your president when asked about his financial records LMAO
