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.
No one is above the law
Every single branch of government at almost every level has said otherwise but OK.
People need to get real about the state of American law and our relative status before it. If we spoke truth about this I think people would be a lot more angry about this than they are.
After one of the murders in Minneapolis, Jacob Frey was asked if MPD could arrest ICE goons. His response: "Legally speaking, yes. Practically speaking... it gets a little hairy when they outnumber us and have bigger guns. We don't want to create warfare in the streets." God I fucking hate that man.
Every American citizen should know by now that under this administration, you have the same rights as the people ICE is disappearing, which is none.
Richwhitemen are literally above the law.
The supreme court said trump is above the law.
It's perhaps worse when they pepper-spray an elderly person in the face, but every assault by federal agents on citizens should peeve everyone all the time.
every assault by federal agents on citizens
Or non-criminals in general, including non-citizens, for that matter.
Nah you don't need an exception there for criminals. If someone isn't holding a gun, an officer should never have a gun out.
Everyone is innocent until the trials over, so there are no criminals being arrested in the street unless they broke out of jail/prison.
So if a dash/door/body w.e can shows officers taking someone to the ground without showing the person putting up a fight first, the officers should be suspended pending the trials for assault/battery for any involved.
More accurate headline:
[Fascist Paramilitary sprayed chemical irritants on] NYC woman, 72, in the face [because they felt like it]. Gov. Hochul [let people sue, but won't prevent issues like this from happening again].
