World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

I was going to stop at americanized policing but I pushed for one more sentence.
America has the worst gang violence in the "western" world. Their methods are proven not to work.
You are wrong
America has the worst gang violence by western standards because of failed social policies. Not its policing, which is not helping for sure admittedly.
Sweden has the some of the worst gang violence in Northern Europe now, yet has excellent social policies. Which aren't exactly shrinking? So why is the gang violence getting worse?
Because there is money to be made. And officer banan is not equipped to deal with someone from either a multi national crime family, or a middle eastern militia using sweden as a training ground.
Sometimes cops need a Damm pansarvagn and if you disagree that's OK, I wish they didn't either.
America's has a lot of reasons contributing to their gang violence. We shouldn't need a stronger police force to deal with gang violence, americanized policing doesn't work. Compare recedivism rates, compare population incarcerated, compare length and conditions of incarcerations.
The money argument is separate and not at all what you are arguing for, if it was you'd be here talking about legalisation not extreme prejudicial policing.
We need early prevention measures, strong social safety nets creating a path to becoming a part of the community. And we need to remove money as an incentive.
What part of my post made you think we need "extreme prejudicial policing" lol wtf.
That definition would be cops murdering peeps in the street because he might be a drug dealer. Aka the phillipines death squads. Is the only example that comes to mind other than tribal execution militias.
Im am saying, swedish police need more "militirized" equipment. Mostly armored apcs, cause if you've ever been shot at, cops wanting one goes from being "oh my god cops dont need tanks" to "it only stops small arms fire?"
And more importantly they absolutley also need "military grade" (lol) surveillance equipment and training. The current gangs who are trying to solidify their control over the growing swedish drug and scam market, often have had their leadership professionally trained by various nation-states official military/defense apparatus.
It's a real problem, that's growing at an exponential rate.
And ofc we need early prevention measures!? I specifically mentioned in my first post that the US has both bad policy and heavy handed policing. Sweden according to you has good policy and better policing?
Then why is the problem getting worse at an exponential rate?
Oh man you called for American policing and hen said it is heavy handed, you don't know what you want you just know the viewpoint you want to hold and to convince others to have without having the knowledge to get people to share that view point.
I have no interest in having a discussion with someone calling for militarised policing ie American style law enforcement.
Yeah, I want heavy handed policing regarding organized crime in Sweden.
Wtf about that is hard to understand?
Then why say all that lol?
Because the undeserving wealthy keep fucking things up.
