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.

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.

Lol the cops show up and start arresting the black people. Not even surprised.
In the video I watched they arrested the guy who hit people, including a woman who wasn't in the brawl at the time, with a folding chair.
I like how you specifically point out the one blow a black person in the fight made that was fucked up and completely ignore the fact that the white pieces of shit started the violence. Very telling.
Dude wtf. His comment was in response to the police arresting black people and he was saying why that might make sense.
As has been said, you control active threats first for your own safety. Calm down.
I completely understand subduing all active threats until you figure out what happened and who is actually a threat but the comment I replied to only mentioned one person and I was pointing that out.
Is active threats your new short code for African American?
You want to find a racist person so badly don't you?
The white boaters clearly started everything but the only arrest I've seen as well was the guy who went all WWE with a folding chair on a woman who was already on the ground, right in front of the cops
I've seen an article that said the 3 dudes who started it were arrested but I haven't found anything about chair guy. Hope you're right that was fucked. She'd just gotten her shit kicked in properly she didn't deserve the chair.
I just heard on the news that not only was chair guy not arrested, they don't know who he is and police are looking for him. I want to say it was David Muir's World News Tonight but I'm not 100% on that as I was in another room and only sort of listening
Oh shit that's some bittersweet news. Thanks
