Right, it's not a good representation of crime, because the number of reports are always higher than the number of cleared cases, hence the term clearance rate, which by the way is highest for crimes against persons(murder, rape, and manslaughter) despite the earlier claim that "police only protect capital".

Good thing there is a process to validate the arrests.

Of course they can't do anything about a crime that hasn't been committed. Do you want police to follow people around to prevent crimes or arrest people they suspect will commit a crime.

As soon as they witness a crime they act. If you expect more than that you are looking for a police state.

You know anyone can look up arrest records and see how inaccurate your statement is.

[–] duffman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Not entirely true. Cops are fired, penalized, and held legally accountable quite often. Not frequently enough but you're stating that they are immune.

Qualified immunity protects state and local officials, including law enforcement officers, from individual liability unless the official violated a clearly established constitutional right.

Every few years I start getting emulators setup but then give up. Wanted to setup on Raspberry pie, Nvidia shield, and now maybe steam deck is next.

"Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC News) adheres to the International Fact-Checking Network Fact-checkers’ Code of Principles. The Poynter Institute developed these principles to promote excellence and standardization in Fact-Checking."

Seems like they are on board with those principals. Also, explain how it's partisan please.

It takes some getting used to. And maybe looping games isn't everyone's cup of tea(e.g. Majora's mask).

But the exploration, the knowlesge based progression, the cleverness of the story, and its delivery is absolutely brilliant.

Honestly the word just has a gross sound to me. Reminds me of cysts.

I used the API to see what mods were censoring. The lack of mod transparency is gross.

Should have rambo'd the shooter from the ladder like a true patriot to save that rapist felon. If you think about it, the cop probably actually did save him because the shooter had to rush to take the shot immediately after and didn't have time to aim properly.

People who spend 8 hours a day or more commenting on Lemmy shouldn't be moderators. I think they have an unhealthy perspective on life and it shows.
