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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. 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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

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.
Law enforcement won't do the bare minimum of at least trying to not look exactly the same as an organized criminal gang.
exactly. ice wants to dress like cartel members in plain clothes, too.
I mean after all: Cops dressed like cops seem these days to actually be criminals cosplaying anyway…
That’s the clockwork orange of it all.
If they normalize plain clothes agents without identification performing violence, then we will allow plain clothes criminals without identification performing violence.
I applaud the author for realizing that the real threat is coming from inside the (White) House....
The politicization of law enforcement has acquired a new dimension during the ongoing immigration crackdowns, when the Administration has sometimes seemed to allow its agents to disguise their identities or affiliations so that it is often unclear to detainees whose custody they are in, or under what authority. (If the vigilantes have been encouraged to act as cops, the actual cops have also been encouraged to act a bit more like vigilantes.)
The more law enforcement on the streets the easier it is to pretend to be one. We don't need now police. We need more teachers, Mental health professionals, social workers, doctors, and moral philosophers. Not police
Anyone wearing a mask, refusing to identify themselves, and ordering people around is not law enforcement. Especially when they put their hands on people. They are criminals attempting to do harm. Respond accordingly.
THEY ARE NOT ICE UNLESS THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS SUCH.
