Right, it's not a good representation of crime, because the number of reports are always higher than the number of cleared cases, hence the term clearance rate, which by the way is highest for crimes against persons(murder, rape, and manslaughter) despite the earlier claim that "police only protect capital".

Good thing there is a process to validate the arrests.

Of course they can't do anything about a crime that hasn't been committed. Do you want police to follow people around to prevent crimes or arrest people they suspect will commit a crime.

As soon as they witness a crime they act. If you expect more than that you are looking for a police state.

You know anyone can look up arrest records and see how inaccurate your statement is.

[–] duffman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Not entirely true. Cops are fired, penalized, and held legally accountable quite often. Not frequently enough but you're stating that they are immune.

Qualified immunity protects state and local officials, including law enforcement officers, from individual liability unless the official violated a clearly established constitutional right.

Every few years I start getting emulators setup but then give up. Wanted to setup on Raspberry pie, Nvidia shield, and now maybe steam deck is next.

"Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC News) adheres to the International Fact-Checking Network Fact-checkers’ Code of Principles. The Poynter Institute developed these principles to promote excellence and standardization in Fact-Checking."

Seems like they are on board with those principals. Also, explain how it's partisan please.

It takes some getting used to. And maybe looping games isn't everyone's cup of tea(e.g. Majora's mask).

But the exploration, the knowlesge based progression, the cleverness of the story, and its delivery is absolutely brilliant.

Vegas exists because of the BS.

Am I thinking of that game with the awesome scope mechanics? That game has PVE modes?

Your comment speaks to high level concepts but you didn't provide an the example to ground it to reality.

Like others have mentioned they aren't seeing these examples of core issues having impacts on their day to day lives/communities. I'm not either. When it comes down to it, laws written to apply to everyone are generally enforced for everyone.

Catching violent perpetrators pretty much always takes priority over non-violent theft. When we see acts of violence get immediate police attention it feels like the image you are trying to portay is inaccurate.

I Googled some extremely invasive weed(creeping buttercup) and Google suggested to let it be, quoting some awful reddit comment.

Seems like the delight dobby portrayed when he was freed would put that argument to rest.
