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.

Oh I understand. It doesn't make you not wrong both literally and metaphorically in one of the worst ways possible which is frustratingly sad in how it's completely antithetical to your goal. But I understand.
You do know that just declaring someone to be wrong doesn't make them wrong, right? You are not the arbiter of reality.
True. Sauce, logic, and objective reality is. Which I provided.
You have provided anecdotal hogwash based on feels making reals just as brainwashed through doomscrolling media as some of the worst MAGA Republicans I've ever met.
People can understand you. They can even agree heavily. That doesn't make it true lol.
You didn't provide "objective reality." You said that civil rights laws mean cops aren't as racist anymore, which is hilarious, because if cops weren't racist, *we wouldn't have to keep using civil rights laws to hopefully punish them for killing black people.
This seems to be a lot more about you excusing cops for killing black people.
No, you're blind to what you're typing is all because you're just not reading the replies. You're arguing against a hypothetical person you've already made up in your mind with a gamut of very different things every time you reply but it's okay.
Nobody is arguing cops don't kill black people at unacceptable rates nearly 2x higher than other races.
Nobody is arguing there aren't racist cops, or bad cops.
You are arguing something completely different while not understanding the difference is a failure on your education system and multiple levels of failure at the local and government levels.
It'd be pitiable if it wasn't for reasons I've labored on ad nauseum about already.
Trust me when I say everyone understands your position. It's wrong. You trying to make up arguments other people aren't saying is doing nothing but wasting both our times lol.
I have been saying the same thing I have been saying this entire time: There are no good apple cops. I have not wavered from this position. You have yet to show me anything that suggests otherwise. The closest you've gotten is that they've done less racist things than they used to.
