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.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


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.

If he had shot her…no problemo. Nude photos though? That’s where we draw the line.

Following his firing, Clark was hired by the Madison County’s Sheriff’s Department as a School Resource Officer at Madison Early College High School.

He did not show up for his shift on Jan. 8. and would “not be returning to work” the school’s Superintendent Dr. Will Hoffman confirmed to ABC 13.

Yeah ... that's a problem. Maybe PDs should start sharing info of fired cops so other PDs don't hire them.

something like a National Offender Registry.

we could call it the Aggressive Cop Administration Board Registry.

Either this or mandatory personal liability insurance for police officers. Officers who fuck up badly resulting in payouts won't be insurable anywhere else.

Neither will happen.

End qualified immunity.

I assume he was getting pics regularly, but twice she forgot to send them and thats when his training kicked in (he escalated things, told her husband/his boss about it, demanded justice).

Me too. It's important to remember that thumbs are critical for tool usage and having thumbs separate humans from most animals so being called a thumb is sort of a compliment.

Why do all cops go bald and look like walking cocks when they rise in ranks?

[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Posting the nypost... slow news day? Need something to rile up the masses?

The placement of that "twice" really bugs me. I hate headline english.

[–] nulluser@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago

Completely unnecessary, too. Like, once was an honest mistake, but TWICE!?
