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.
The corporal, who alerted police to the collision, was not injured. He was not suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and was not given field sobriety tests.
Why does this make me think the corporal that hit the victim was drunk driving?
Unprompted denial.
"by the way, I didn't shit myself at a party while wearing white pants so if anyone tells you that it's a lie" -Someone who definitely shat themselves at a party in white pants
Where's the confusion? They protested the notion of drunk driving several times – many more than necessary. Protesting is like eating pasta. You can't do too much of it.
I don’t believe for a second this was accidental. If it were, there would be no reason to hide it.
Racism, alcohol/drugs in cop's system, or both.
I suspect they delayed as long as they did to make sure that any evidence aged beyond legal use, such as any security camera footage was wiped and rewritten, etc. I have no idea, but I assume this isn’t just manslaughter, it’s destroying evidence as well.
alcohol?
Drunk driving isn't an accident.
I assumed a mental health crisis gone won't when reading the headline. Nope. An off-duty officer hit him with his cruise with no repercussions. Even worse, they are making her pay to get the body back.
Holy fuck
Seriously, the last line of the article, which is buried beneath the collage of ads, stated that the mom actually had to pay $250 to get her rights to her own son’s body back…
Holy fuck, indeed.
ACAB everyday.
Conveniently they forgot, so nobody could investigate his murder at the hands of an off duty cop who is likely in the wind now
Stack the blue.
Fuck the police
You can't blame the police, because they will target you and your family.
Is it really not possible to do anything about this? Isn’t the police government-funded, doesn’t the president/ruling party have any say in how it operates?
Genuinely asking, I’m not American so I routinely get confused by how the government there works.
The police department is run by the local government. Generally the city or county, but some police officers are employees of the state. I'm not sure if there's anything the elected city officials could do anyways, but in Jackson, Mississippi I can guarantee they wouldn't do anything either way for a black man.
What the actual fuck?!
"Expand and use the power of the U.S. Justice Department to address systemic misconduct in police departments and prosecutors’ offices. ... Under the Biden Administration, the Justice Department will again use its authority to root out unconstitutional or unlawful policing."
