Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Great. So how did you end up hiring this known asshole, and what are you going to do to keep it from happening again?
Yes. Forgiveness demands a commitment to be better in the future. No matter how eloquently and humbly phrased, this is just "sorry" if there are no concrete actions being committed to.
The common refrain from my childhood was “‘Sorry’ isn’t good enough”.
It was really annoying at 8yo, but I get it now…
I'm sure even when you heard it as an 8 year old It wasn't after you shot someone in the face for no reason. Lmao.
Police chief:
To ensure this doesn't happen again, we've prepared hundreds of "I'm sorry" templates that will fire off. So when our officers do heinous shit like this again, the Sorry will be within 24 hours, not a week later.
Some examples of these, you ask?
Sorry for shooting your dog.
Sorry for roughing up your grandfather.
Sorry for showing up at the robbery hours later.
Sorry for laughing when you called for aid.
Sorry for raping that woman.
Sorry for all stats about us beating our spouses and partners.
Sorry for spending millions on taxpayer money on surveillance that statistically has shown it doesn't move the needle in public safety
We can do better. By saying sorry faster.
Don't forget the newest hit single; "Sorry we shot through your four-year-old child in order to kill the man holding him hostage."
Hey do you have supporting links for this? I'm not asking to challenge you, I'm asking because I'd like to have some of those at hand in related/similar discussions.
"People are asking questions. What we are going to do to stop anyone from finding out when this happens next time?"
Wow, this is the first time that police department has failed with him at the helm? What an incredible record!
In the sense that it lacks credibility.
Hiring “bad apples” needs to be a crime for the sheriff, chief, etc. It’s sad that’s what it would take to keep guns and badges out of these guys hands.
