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.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


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.

MODERATORS
 

Using “John Doe” pseudonyms, they sued over whether the investigation into their activities should be made public. The Washington State Supreme Court ruled in February that they can be identified and that they haven’t shown that public release of their names violates their right to privacy. The state supreme court denied reconsideration earlier this month and lawyers for the four officers submitted a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking that the names remain protected during their legal challenge.

Four officers who attended events in the nation’s capital on the day of an insurrection claimed they are protected under the state’s public records law. They say they did nothing wrong and that revealing their names would violate their privacy.

Why aren't they proud of what they did? They should put their name behind their actions.

[–] thann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 85 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Sure seems like they they know they did something wrong if they dont want anybody to know about it

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

The only thing they regret is being caught

They can never get their stories right about anything. First, it was a false flag orchestrated by the FBI working with BLM and "antifa" and no magats were there. Then, you had Marjorie Trailer Queen crying over a fake installation of them in prison and they were declaring they were "political prisoners" because it was just a "day of love", etc...

[–] griff@lemmings.world 13 points 10 months ago

Marjorie Trailer Queen!!!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

That's the thing, they don't have to get their stories "right" about anything. The blatant hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. It's a complete waste of time to focus on it.

That certainly is the logic they use when they cruise around with Stingray devices in their cruisers that honeypot/MiTM every single 4g/5g/Wifi drevice in a 100m+ radius.

No. They didn't think they did anything wrong. It's insane, but I'm serious. They are absolutely convinced they are the good guys.

Which is why they believe they don't deserve to have any consequences. But the evil left will "cancel" them if they're doxxed, and that's just not fair since they were doing the "good" things.

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Your average MAGA supporter thinks that. These guys are literal psychopaths.

They are proud but they work in one of those most liberal cities in america. They know they are incredibly outnumbered.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

No they're not, the city has a large number of Republicans running things. People don't realize how conservative even a liberal place can be. They're just quietly fucking things up behind the scenes.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

They are proud of what they did, but only among fwends.
