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.
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.

She called them for help, was unarmed and they shot her in the face. Excuse me what the fuck.
They've been murdering us for centuries. You're outraged about this one. What the fuck, indeed.
Please do better, friend. Remember that you're wearing our badge (.ml).
Also, nice username.
Get over yourself, no need to be so smug.
Well, I'm sorta tired of being murdered, moderates faking outrage, then they rationalize trying to remove the best tool I've got to defend my family from those murdering me.
I'm sure you can understand why I'll respond to your shallow judgement of smugness with a curt, Go fuck yourself, moderate. I'll set the timetable for my freedom. You can take credit as always once we do all the work.
The part about cops and citizens is fine and valid.
It's the "ml" stuff as if that's some sort of pedigreed club. It's not.
( You aren't even logged in on that instance, by my vision on voyager app)
If someone decides to wear a badge of a Marxist-Lenninist then I'll hold them to a higher standard. It's been our way for at least a century. It still serves its purpose well.
Ah yes because we all know Marxist Leninist governance always has respectful, resolution first policing. No strong-arm, obscure, extrajudicial actions there.
Truly a high standard.
Edit to be clear: I fully agree with the original part of your comment about policing and murder.
I do not agree with the concept that ML style governance has ever demonstrated an alternative, or even that that system could.
Edit edit to be hyper clear: I acknowledge US policing is atrocious, and in many ways is a product of the system. I'm not whatabouting out of nowhere, I'm suggesting alternative governance brought up in the comment chain has not demonstrated an alternative.
Something tells me you have, in fact, never been murdered or killed.
How many of "you" are there?
I'd guesstimate about a 100 million in the US today. Maybe 500k are committed. Change happens around 15-30 million committed. It's been 60 years since we've seen it last.
You know what? They told me they were coming for my guns 30 years ago and I ain't seen a dadgum one of em try....YET
No FRT? No bump stock?
Most didn't buy these or couldn't. But, that's all it takes to get the feds at your door asking questions.
When your justification for being condescending and judgmental relies on a completely unfounded assumption about the person you're judging, it just looks like you're trying to find reasons to put others down. It's not a good look and it's entirely unfair to the person you're putting down.
If anyone here needs to do better, it's you.
