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, 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.
They shouldn't have shock gloves in the first place.
In fact, I will go so far to say that police should be unarmed by default. They can carry a baton, but a remote operator has to give the okay to unlock the baton for extension. A squad car can have a shotgun with rubber slugs, but the trunk also has to be remotely unlocked. Police should also receive permission from an operator for turning off their camera.
Bluntly, the police cannot be trusted with power.
Public site, 100% uptime, every weapons pull listed in real time. They put those gloves on, it's noted, they pull the baton out, it's listed. They draw their guns it's listed. Transparency would be a good start. Body camera footage should also be available to the people in the videos automatically in identification.
There shouldn't be any police in schools in the first place, like in the rest of the world.
What the fuck is this
It's called America, the land of guns and idiots.
Home of Gun Care and Health Control.
Parents who support this support it for "urban" schools. They don't believe it will ever be used in their white, suburban public schools.
G.L.O.V.E. sounds like something Vault-Tec would make and sell
The Associated Press first revealed Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s plan to give officers the gloves
I wonder if spelling it out really did make people overlook the fact we're talking about ICE here
No. It's just the AP style to not say an acronym without ever saying what it means
Which is hilarious because you violated AP style by not first saying Associated Press.
Can't even say "enough internet for today" because I just opened Lemmy and saw this.
I mean you can, sometimes the first shit i see makes me shut down the computer lol
Awesome that they have to ask politely and the police get to decide.
gloves codenamed G.L.O.V.E.s
supervillain ahh invention
For those who don't spend all their time online, "ahh" is a substitute (or euphemism?) for "ass". Kids have taken to say things like "ahh" instead of "ass" and "unaliving" for "suicide", and "funk" for "fuck", "epistomegacy" for "active clown threat", "rat intestine" for "rat intestine" and who even knows what else!
Well I for one am sick and tired of it and that's all I have to say on the matter.
Thanks, I fucking hate that stupid-ass shit!
