2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

There's gotta be a better way to say that. Can't just go around using slurs like c*ps.
But seriously we can do better than that phrase I think.
Feral cops?
Transient cops?
Bastards.
Well yes, but it doesn't differentiate between the bastards that stay in one place, and the ones that roam from station to station because even the other bastards can't stand em.
I just simplify it from ACAB because it doesn't matter if they roam a lot or not at all ... they're all bastards.
Unkeepables maybe, or just undesirable officers. So bad they gotta ship you off where no one knows who you are.
I humbly submit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_pig?wprov=sfla1
Angry little pigs that destroy anything they come across and kill whatever stands in their way, regardless of threat and is very difficult to get rid of?
Yeah, seems about right.
I get where you’re coming from, but since the phenomenon is almost exclusively an American problem, and America doesn’t really have the same sort of prejudice against the Roma as many in Europe do, it’s harder to see it as a slur. I suppose Nomad Cops could work 🤷♂️
"Won't stop cop"?
