I tried not to make rules for this community but y'all wylin'. I'll keep it quick and to the point:

  1. Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.

  2. Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.

  3. Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you're not sure whether or not you're in this category, ask yourself if what you're about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one's character, etc. There's some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don't let this rule scare you.

  4. Endorsing or supporting extrajudicial, nonexecutive or nonwar violence is prohibited.

  5. Using slurs is expressly prohibited.

  6. Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

gotta wonder why they waited until some special operation.. shouldnt being an immigrant be fairly irrelevant if you're a cruminal?

unless of couse this is just bullshit attempting to disprove the fact that citizens have a higher rate of criminality than immigrants.

No this is a thing in blue states, and not at all related to being a citizen or immigrant. I think they call it "equitive justice" or "progressive prosecution", either DAs will refuse to charge a POC for a crime due to their race, or judges will waive bail for the same reason.

hahah well, i worked for a court system and that never fucking happened. its all about those numbers, and at no time in my blue state did the da waive off a charge because of their race. they threw everyone they could against the wall.

thats just fucking nonsense

but thats just from my first person experience in the system.
