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.

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.

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.

This murder appears to be a direct result of Renee Good's murder going unpunished

He felt confident in his excuse that hebwas going to be run over. I just hope a future administration holds these murderers to account

There is no statute of limitations on murder

good for her. I hope the community protects her from these criminal bastards.

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 21 points 13 hours ago

It sure won't be the police or government. So everyone who knows her has to be on their toes and be ready to protect her against some of the worst scum of this earth.

This is worth reading the entire thing, but here's some portions

David Michael Brouillette’s ex-wife said he is the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fatally shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, according to Thursday reporting by The Portland Press Herald.

Common Dreams has not independently verified Ashley Brouillette’s claims—which also included that he was abusive during their relationship; she previously reported concerns about the US Army veteran’s mental health to his superiors in the military; and she and her family have received threats since reports of her ex’s involvement in the shooting began to spread online.

Both the Portland Press-Herald and AP News go further into the details in regard to this guy's past, with AP speaking to at least one ex-wife and that wife's mother (who witnessed some of the abuse), his daughter, another estranged relative who asked to remain anonymous, and "hundreds of family court records obtained from the Augusta District Court clerk’s office" that "detail years of allegations of physical and verbal abuse raised by his second ex-wife on behalf of herself and his daughters."

According to the Press-Herald article,

Ashley Brouillette told a reporter that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about David Brouillette’s mental health.

It's an interesting statement to make on its own, just like it's interesting how AP News can document this guy's lifelong history of abusive behavior toward others out in a matter of hours but the gubmint meat grinder never could. It's pretty clear they just don't want to hear it.

They could, they just didn't.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 9 points 9 hours ago

They knew. His propensity for violence was a primary qualification.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 51 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

It's almost like ICE is selectively recruiting this kind of people.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 points 9 hours ago

Probably fishing through Domestic Violence Court records.

They don't need to. There's not a lot of other people willing to join them.
