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.

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.

MODERATORS
😂😂 if you don't understand, it's a bot or a Trumper. I'm starting to see how Lemmy works. 👍
One month old account and this is the only topic you're responding to. High probability that you are an extreme loser.
Ya know, this might get buried, but I'll say it anyways. I'm almost 40 and I've seen a few things, but I'm not so much upset as just confused. How can everyone in this country watch the same video and half of them say it's definitely one way while the other half say it's definitely the other way? That's happened more than once in the past few years, which is why I say it seems contrived. I'm not a republican or a democrat. I think both sides are up to their ears in corruption. Does that make me a loser? Can we have an actual conversation? I'll refrain from sarcasm and name calling if you will.
Yeah, probably. Centrism is a loser ideology.
Agreed, but what's the alternative? I can't get on board with Libertarians either.
I don't necessarily think you have to get on board with a party. In some ways, I understand the plight. A lot of politics caters to the rich, and if we have a two party system and they both show disdain for you, it feels like that's it. However, a lot of party politics can be done at a local level, and while that is a generic answer, it is the answer. You can change your local party to cater to you because you make up a bigger proportion, and you can get your neighbors on board too. Show up and question your local politicians and they will be forced to change or they can be replaced.
It's a boring answer, but it's unfortunately what you have. Focusing on the big politics isn't feasible.
It's a real answer. Thank you.
Because half of America has been brainwashed by Fox News to believe that liberals should be murdered.
A poorly trained US government agent just executed a mother of 3, whose last words were "that's fine dude, I'm not mad at you", while he spat FUCKIN' BITCH after her corpse. There used to be a time the Republicans would be screaming that this is an abuse of government power, now they all have erections and are frothing at the mouth in their excitement of the execution of a liberal.
Ok, but isn't that pretty fucking extreme?! I'm not saying you're wrong at all, but if you're right, at least half of the government and half of the nation are all brainwashed on some hidden hand agenda. I'm no stranger to conspiracy theories, but are you saying we're coming to the culmination of all that?
It's not hidden at all, this is the culmination of almost 70 years of work by the right wing.
How Conservatism Won
Interesting. So what comes next? Civil war or hostile conservative takeover? I'm certainly not arguing we aren't headed for fascism.
For the other side: how is it justified for him to be firing at the car at all?
His feet in the video clearly show that he was hit, even if it wasn't that hard. He could have avoided it by stepping aside, but that doesn't change the fact that her tires were turned towards him when she hit the gas, but she quickly turned the other way to avoid him. Was that on purpose? Who knows, but it makes sense to me that he would want to fire at the car if he believes he's about to be run over, which would be true whether he's a demon or an angel(the same being true for calling her a bitch immediately after). Of course, that doesn't mean it's justified according to the law, just like if someone hits you in the face, many people's reaction would be to hit back, even though that might not be the right thing to do. Beyond that, we have many years of videos of police interactions with people where they did have to shoot, sometimes when someone tried to run them over, which would be vehicular homicide. That's the case for justification.
