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.

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.

We could learn a thing or two about protests from the French.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 26 points 4 weeks ago

We could learn a thing or two from our own forefathers. Tar and feather these chicken shits.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 17 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes. It's ironic how Americans call the French 'cheese eating surrender monkeys', too.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Only idiots mock the French

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

America has propagandized it's citizens to disregard and mock their French cousins lest Americans see what their brothers can accomplish when they unite against their ruling class.

The same France who stood with them against their own king 200+ years ago.

Truly the only thing the elite fear globally is class consciousness.

Is that what the cardboard stuffed into the wheel arch below the fuel cap is about?

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Maybe they ran over a bunch or debris?

It would also explain the deflated tire. It could have been a makeshift tire trap, something that looks like a bunch of trash but has nails and shit.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 99 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Good to see the people using the sheer weight of numbers against these arseholes. And fuck the police for siding with the ICE criminals.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 65 points 4 weeks ago

Once again, ACAB.

Demonstrators investigating the abandoned ICE vehicles apparently retrieved these “challenge coins” that ICE mercenaries receive when they kidnap people. This “coin” is decorated with a skull wearing a crown. ICE mercenaries serve king death.

...tha fuck?!?!

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 41 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

Kinda need a citation for that claim, it really sounds... weird. It just looks like the standard douchy challenge coins anyone can get online, the airsoft place near me sells dozens with similarly cringe designs but they're pricey enough not to be handed out casually.

edit: This substack has more on the significance of the imagery, and it aligns with what I have seen in LEO culture - it does make a lot more sense than them being given out for "kidnapping someone" as this article implies.

Summary is that these were likely given out for a joint operation with the IRS and ATF (you can see the agency names engraved on the coin) and that has it's own chilling implications but that are unrelated to direct kidnapping rewards.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

That does make more sense, I should know better than to trust an obviously biased source.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Agree with the other commenter, early in my career I did IT work for a mid-sized city. Through the normal course of my work I given a "North City PD" (not the real city name) enameled coin with some little logos and stuff on it.

It's shiny junk they hand out to each other to make themselves feel special.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

All law enforcement organizations in the USA are wholly illegitimate. I respect none of their laws or regulations.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

IDK what that has to do with my comment but your spirit is in the right place, hell yeah!

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

The pervasive culture of domination and subjugation within all law enforcement is shown through those pins and such. The symbology is always the same and it's always hateful. It is in every organization in our government.

That's what I meant

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I respect my community, not the authority that governs us.

It's a Nazi thing.

[–] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 39 points 4 weeks ago

A round of applause and hopefully they’ll do an encore

[–] JIMMERZ@lemmy.world 33 points 4 weeks ago

North Minneapolis is legendary for being tough as nails. I’m proud of the city and hope these ice fucks freeze their dicks off.

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 21 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Haven't lived there for a few years, but I'm proud to call it my hometown!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Police reinforced the federal mercenaries, joining them in shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas and flash-bang

Is this a trump quote or is this written by trum?

Please don't use the word tremendous like that. After trump, it gives me a skin rash hearing it

[–] jaxxed@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I notice more casters across the tubes speaking more like Trump, even on tue left. It's strange. I hear talks of "Chaina", and people saying things like "10, 20, 30, 40, 50 percent" - both are Trumpisms.

When the error bars are larger than your dataset

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 13 points 3 weeks ago
[–] phx@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Hoping it stays that way and sets a precedent for everywhere else.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Other cities take note
