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.

Dirty cops belong in jail, not to be executed in the streets.
Vengeance is not justice.
All cops are dirty.
And I’d agree that execution isn’t the preferred method of dealing with the problem. But it’s happened now, so oh well.
Complacency and indifference in the face of injustice begets further injustice. It’s hypocritical to then claim to seek justice.
I don’t want “justice”, I don’t want cops.
I want to protect lives and make the world a better place.
Oh and during war, armed resistance is morally fine.
yet, you seem tolerant of murder and vengeance. so, you would appear to only want to protect certain lives and make the world a better place for some. and who would be the one to decide who benefits from this "better world"? you?
Yes I accept people die during war. It happens.
not really sure where dying during war comes into play when discussing this murder of police officers...
i think you replied to the wrong comment
congratulations. that's the most self-important, self-aggrandizing rationalization for vengeance and murder i've heard in, at least, a few weeks.
bravo. frankly, i'm more surprised that you could type all of that out with both of your arms nailed to that cross.
i'm a "cop lover" because i point out that murder and vengeance aren't justice and that your views and words are hypocritical?
how's that anything but childish name-calling?
If you feel “personally attacked” when your cheering of murder and vengeance are criticized as hypocritical, then perhaps you should reexamine your position.
And don’t cry about “personal attacks” when hypocritically making them with childish name-calling.
And who gets to decide when we're at war about what
You want good people protected, how do you propose we do that without any group that is very cop like in their responsibilities?
Okay put it this way then. The actively dirty ones go to prison, the passively dirty ones get fired.
Look no more cops and we avoided the reign of terror.
There's an article on the front page right now about how a cop who raped his daughters was given custody and the mother imprisoned for refusing court mandated Christian reunification therapy.
Cops don't have consequences
No. That's the proposal. I know they aren't facing consequences right now.
No they don't, and they never will if we keep perpetuating this ridiculous pearl-clutching, cop-venerating bullshit where calling them out for what they are – a state-sanctioned gang – is stigmatized.
That's the point. I want the dirty ones in prison.
I’d gladly take a non-lethal outcome, but I didn’t decide this act and I had zero influence on it.
I’m not going to lose sleep over it either tho mind you.
That's really all I'm trying to avoid. This country is going to blow it's top off if we keep treating the people as an exploitable resource. I just don't want to deal with a reign of terror.
We have neither. All rights are won through violence.
And what rights do you not have now that you believe you will win by murdering police?
Strawman
why? because you don't have a snappy answer? no anarchist slogan in your pocket you can throw back?
Lol pound sand
nah, you've already gone low enough, what, with the cheering murder and all...
Historically inaccurate
