    send in cops to arrest people running these ads.

    The people running these ads are the ones that own the police departments.

      That really is the problem. The executive is the enforcement arm of the government. Plus the far right has owned law enforcement for a long time. The FBI even published a report years ago that discussed the threat of white nationalists coopting police forces.

      Edit: the FBI Report

        I’ve seen countless interviews with former white nationalists laying out how they systematically corrupt police and make it so only their guys are in charge. They had an organized operation to do this around the country simultaneously while staying under FBI radar. Eventually they get their guys in the FBI too. This has been going on for decades. Now they’re white supremacist gangs.

          Not the first time. Scientology wanted tax-exempt status as a religion, and they weren’t getting cooperation from the IRS, so they had their followers get jobs in IRS offices all over America, and work hard to strategically achieve promotions and transfers, until they controlled enough of the bureaucracy to facilitate their application, and finally get declared tax exempt.
