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. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

somethin tells me we wont see involuntary manslaughter charges despite the guy being in their 'custody'

if theres one thing cops dont want to do, its take responsibility for their own actions.

And even when they get "disciplined," they are put on leave with pay. Or if they get "fired" from that PD, they'll just get transferred over to another low-key PD. Let alone the millions of dollars the Police Union uses to protect these pigs.

They need malpractice insurance like docs, if fuckups come out of their pocket instead of the city…every fuckup in the dept would be gone in a day.

Wow, didn't even give enough time for the GOP to look up his arrest record, drug history, NOTHING. Is it even due process if the right doesn't explain why he should die first?

I think it's absolutely wild how little the US police seems to be held accountable. I mean, can you even imagine living in a country were the police shooting at all is already a headline?
