I think that if a policing department invests in cybertrucks then it is an indicator that they are already corrupt as hell.

In the USA, military weapons are so plentiful that the army gives police old ones for free. That's why police departments have ludicrous MRAPs and things, they're freebies.

So, one billionaire bought another billionaire's toys and handed them to a politically pliable sheriff, in the same spirit as a Roman patrician might throw a particularly theatrical weapon into the Coliseum fighting pit.
