Although I do care about money, I also support my government and my local police force, and would be happy and proud if my work could be used to make their efforts more efficient as well as more open, transparent, and fair. I don't agree with everything my government does, and I believe that there are bad cops that need to be corrected, but don't presume to speak for me.
This won't happen, because at the end of the day Slack Technologies is a public company and their mission is to make their investors money, not cater to the activist cause du jour.
