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.

"There isn't even a single good cop in the world" is one of the most edgelord 13-year-old takes I've ever seen, and you're acting like his take is oversimplified?
Right. The way the justice system works in America, specifically as it pertains to law enforcement, is an example of an institution that is against the people in general. It was not designed to help the people but to keep the powerful in power and wealthy. It isn't about justice, but taking rights away from minorities. Any "good" cop ends up realizing that the whole institution is corrupt as fuck (as it exists in America) and quits or gets forced out for not being a corrupt piece of shit in one way or another.
Your ignorance of this is telling of how little life experience you have. Or you've just been white and suburban your entire life.
Edit: let me guess, you're friends with plenty of cops and all the cops in your (white) town are sweet as pie!
Damn, if that's their 'real' job, they're doing a terrible job of it! You're wrong, actually, I live in a major city I know a lot of Chinese and Indian people, including my wife, and an easy majority my coworkers at work are the same, including the CEO--hell, the CEOs of most major tech companies at this point...and the police haven't done shit to stop them! Hell, there's a bunch of black families that have moved right into my neighborhood--which is a pretty nice neighborhood, I might add--and they're walking around here like they have the same rights as everybody else!
Somebody really ought to remind these cops what their real job is, cuz they're failing at it pretty horribly.
White clown lmao. "Cops are fine because I don't see the bad shit they do because I'm white (but I know Indians and my wife is Chinese or some shit and one time I voted for a black person to be president)"
Edit: also somehow "Cops aren't racist because non white people are CEOs"
??? The fuck are you on lmao or was that more of a "racism doesn't exist anymore" sort of sentiment.
I think you're doing a much better job of arguing against yourself than I could.
Your argument is logically the same as saying All Lives Matter or Not All Men. Misses the point entirely.
Like so many white folks in "nice neighborhoods" you base your reality and world view around the comfortable bubble in which you live.
"The institution of policing is fine because it works out for me" is what you are telling me. Privileged as fuck and you don't even know it. Classic.
