Welcome to the News community!
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. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
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.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
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.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I'd like to send out a special "Fuck you" to the asshole that called this tip in, whether it turns out to be the real shooter or not. I can't imagine being such a piece of trash to go do that.
Yeah, fuck that person as much as the wealthy. There's nothing worth less than a worthless taint licker.
Hopefully whoever called the tip gets doxxed.
holy fuck No!
I mean, if you have a better incentive to discourage class traitors, go ahead. I'm hoping for what little we have.
It's a pretty normal thing to do. If you're just living your life like you're supposed to, doing your job like your supposed to and listening to the news like you're supposed to. Than you don't know any better than to turn in a wanted criminal when you see him, because you trust the state and the police to be good and do the right thing. You can't blame them for being perfectly conditioned by the multi billion dollar machine of the state, because it's not an easy thing to escape.
Maybe if we created a culture of shaming bootlickers, more people would understand that bootlicking is wrong because it would be easier to be exposed to that information.
$50k is too good to pass up. But my conscience probably won't sleep well for the rest of my life if I ratted the suspect.
Then it's worth passing up.
I always wondered if you end up getting the reward. I bet there is some stupid rule that voids it.
"Oooh, you called, but you didn't call it in at 3:54 on a Tuesday and request to speak to Detective Dingleberry while playing Cranberries in the background"
It's the same old theme. Since 1916.
No it's not

I don't live in the States so I thought $50k is a lot. But it seems to corroborate about what I read that vaguely stating "I am earning six figures" will not impress anyone anymore. This does show the growing inequality and worsening inflation in the US.
Sub link says it was an elderly employee. So that could mean either they were in dire straits with their own cost of living looking for $50k, they were working for a social outlet during retirement, or they hold a strong belief in a US that [didn't actually] existed for white people 25+ years ago... The first is more empathetic of course but i can't help but feel this is yet another "olds screwing the youngs" situation.
