    That would probably work if there wasn’t a ridiculous overabundance of cops in just about all American cities.

    As it is, there’s enough of them to function as a private security force for billionaires and their property (their primary raison d’être) in greater numbers than usual like this without neglecting any of their usual oppression of minorities, poor people, and especially combinations thereof.

      Unless these cops are in superposition, they can’t be both protecting Tesla and, say, in their actual cars.

      Their numbers are finite.

      Sure, you gotta still use stealth and planning, but you’re dealing with a different level of attention.

      Vandalism normally isn’t a high priority in the cities I’ve been in. People report it, and the response time is slow, even in wealthy areas or business centers because it’s just not an emergency. They’ll dispatch a car or two, or the equivalent, but they won’t send bigger numbers, and any kind of riot response is going to be slower because they’re held back for the obvious target.

      Same with small numbers of people making quick strikes at targets that support the main focus of the actions.

      Couple that with coordination at targets and false actions to distract, and you can do some decent amount of work in the time you’ll have
