Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

White guy was stabbed by a brown person. Brown person denied the stabbing and said the white person attacked him and it was racially motivated. Brown person was not attacked and white person ended up not being a racist piece of trash. Police arrested bleeding white guy, white guy tells police he is stabbed and can't breathe. Police told white guy he was not stabbed and white guy died because of his injuries while being arrested.
I appreciate you summarising the actual story/news article, but that is not what I was asking about.
My comment was a reply to rambling about... "Lemmy says to punch Nazis and this is what happens when you don't allow people to make mistakes" which was barely comprehensible, chock full of false assumptions about what happened and what Lemmy users think, and topped off with a smidge of Nazi apologia.
I think the comment I replied to has since been removed as I can't see it anymore, so I'm guessing you saw my comment as a top-level comment. No biggie.
Anyway, while I'm here, I'll leave my actual thoughts on the story itself, which is that it's a horrible tragedy. It's also sickening how the far right are hijacking his parents' grief to stir division and make some delusional point about white people being oppressed in the UK. Police have a lot to answer for on this one.
The correct response to this tragedy is that all people should be treated equally in the eyes of the law, regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum.
Yes, that is what I referring to when I said that police have a lot to answer for. How multiple police officers fail to notice the victim was stabbed in is mind-boggling, let alone while he is literally telling them this. This is a level of incompetence that actually makes dystopian levels of job automation (including policing) seem favourable.
I think "where you fall on the political spectrum" is quite a personal thing for the attending police officers to know, as opposed to demographic information. I doubt you are insinuating that white people have uniform political opinions
You are correct, white people absolutely do not have uniform political opinions.
