-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Looks like it's 4 dead cops, one U.S. Marshal and three local police officers.
1 US Marshal, 1 CMPD, and 2 NC “Department of Adult Corrections” officers who were working with the US Marshal.
The CMPD pig died later in the hospital, the other three I think died on scene.
If prison is so horrible that killing four people (although they're pigs), well knowing that the remaining pigs will execute you on the spot in retaliation, is a better option than going there then there's something really fucked up about prison.
To the extent people should be sent to prison in the first place it shouldn't be the torture cages of America but rather gulags centered on re-education and rehabilitation.
