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.

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.

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.

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.

State police said body camera video and other information tied to the case is not immediately being released to “protect the integrity of the legal process”

“We need time to plausibly lose this.”

However, when it's the very rare occasion that it exonerates the cops, it's released immediately.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Were you trying to say "exonerates?"

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

Yes...yes i was. Thank you.

With edits, like red circles around what's supposedly a weapon. 🙄

No deputies were injured, the sheriff’s office said.

Cowards with guns and itchy trigger fingers. Watching bodycam videos on YT, it's incredible how risk-averse they are. It makes the inaction at Uvalde clearer.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 58 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Uvalde cops saved lives. Imagine how many kids they would have shot if they had entered the school.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

I would say all of them, but I imagine their marksmanship is terrible.

I watched one the other day where a black soldier in uniform was pulled over at night so he pulled into a gas station instead of stopping on the side of the dark road and the cops who pulled him over were super aggro about it and from the jump were pointing guns and yelling at him to get out of the vehicle. He put his hands out the window and was asking them what was going on and all they would do was continue screaming at him to do what they say and get out. One of the cops eventually walked all the way up to his window and pepper sprayed him. I think they cops got in trouble for it afterwards but it was so stupid. All they had to do was talk to the dude.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe I've seen it and the soldier filed a lawsuit.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 14 points 2 years ago

And he's the lucky one. He survived.

The cops have classes that teach them to murder first because protect and serve is bullshit.

There are several of these "classes" that PD pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to train cops to be fascist fuck machines.

Historically, all the force, money, and power the cops abuse are why the Templar Knights were eventually tried and burned at the stake for sex crimes, theft, and satanism. Same shit; different century.

Oddly enough the Knights were tortured to death for their hypocritically evil sexually perverse behavior. I don't see that happened to these pigs any time soon though. But they will torture and murder you for doing nothing but having a bad day.

“It is extremely hard to imagine how a woman who calls the police out of fear of an intruder ends up shot in the head by police at her own home,”

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, no it's not. Especially for certain skin tones.

When she had one problem, then she got herself a fatal one.

Society is so accepting of this, nothing will be done. This is just a part of living the American Dream.

"shoot when scared" has been a terrible police policy

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Its amazing how the police can be terrified hyper-reactionary cowards, and can use that as justification for murder.

but the bog standard citizenry have to be upright, with 100% control over every single muscle in their body and thought in their head,, while showing the more discipline than the most seasoned military official during an inspection, without a single ounce of fear, hesitation, or doubt, Or else we get brutalized and/or shot.
