Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Yes, shoot me for wearing an anti-allergy mask officer. I'm begging you.
I will live like a king siphoning off your retirement pension if you shoot me for keeping pollen out of my nose.
Oh, you sweet summer child.
Cops can murder people in cold blood, on camera, and suffer absolutely no consequences.
No, you're wrong.
They get a 2 week paid vacation. If they play their cards right, they can say they got PTSD and get to retire early with a pension and start over in another jurisdiction.
Don't forget getting to keep the murder weapon despite having "PTSD" from murdering a guy.
Good luck suing a cop. The courts have consistently ruled that they can basically do what they like and you can't sue them for shit.

You know damn well police face no real consequences for their actions.
even if somehow you get past qualified immunity, cops don't pay shit. it comes out of your (and your fellow citizens') taxes.
