This Ingraham M-6 by Police Ordnance looks a bit like a Thompson... that was the point. Of all the lookalikes, these were among the earliest, and were the best quality - some would say better than the Thompson itself.
The M-6 was the sixth firearm designed by Gordon Ingraham, an open-bolt blowback, and dates back to 1949. Chambered in 45acp, it featured a "progressive" select-fire trigger pack (a half pull for a single shot, full pull for automatic fire).
The M-6 was designed to serve as a police and civilian SMG with a similar feel to a Thompson (familiar to returning US soldiers) but significantly less heavy, less expensive to produce, and less difficult to service. Unfortunately, a steady supply of WWII surplus would knock the M-6 off the law enforcement and civilian market in the US, and despite some foreign sales, the M-6 was discontinued.
Gordon Ingraham left Police Ordnance, and some 20 years later went on to market his 10th (& 11th) firearm designs, the Military Arms Corp M-10 and M-11 SMGs.

Teletubbies gang stolen a forklift! #WTF
Right now in Portland. Police in Portland declared a 'riot' and ordered protesters to disperse after a fire was lit at police association offices. Multiple arrests have been made in North Portland.
Meanwhile, in #Kenosha. Which car is a black owner? White owner? The car of a fellow 'protester'? Who knows. Who cares, right? But... there's also black people in there... Man sets truck ablaze using Molotov cocktail as Wisconsin descends into chaos.

In #Kenosha right now, rioters are destroying property and looting, but where are the National Guard?
The terrorism continues in #Kenosha by the BLM (Burn, Loot, and Murder) movement. “We’ll burn your shop down too.” Call me what you will but these people are not for the betterment of the treatment of black people from police this is something else all on its own it’s toxic and it’s dangerous.
