Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

literally who gives a fuck what specific guns/gear the nazis are using? how could you possibly convince yourself that that matters?

Yeah, who needs intel? That shit's stupid, just be angry!

... Are you serious?

Knowing what a force is equipped with can help you figure out what exact unit / organization they are, what their capabilities are, potentially how to resist them...

Also gives insight in to the psychology of the group. Cops used to wear a mag or two on the side of back of the belt. Now I see them wearing four mags at a two o'clock position. Because now they think they're going to get in gunfights and want 80rds on tap, ready to go, where they can easily reach them after dumping the mag loaded in the gun. That shows a significant shift in cop culture and practices and you wouldn't know if you don't pay attention to their kit and how they wear it.

Damn, I hadn't even thought to point out mag positioning, I am so acclimated now to seeing what you pointed out that I forgot it even ever used to be different.

Yep, these guys are increasingly running 'high speed, low drag' loadouts...

Meanwhil, what was it, less than a year ago we had that vid of ... a fucking acorn falls onto the cruiser a cop is walking past, cop screams out in pain, does a bobby hill version of a combat roll, mag dumps into another parked cruiser with a detained suspect in it, shooting right past/near the other officer next to that other cruiser, with the 'backstop' for those rounds being a bunch of townhomes just 20/30 feet from the car?

Jesus fuck what an embarrassment that video was.

They're all terrified bullies cosplaying as Judge Dredd, still haven't figured out that the Punisher they idolize would be vigilante murdering every cop with a Punisher tat or decal if he existed irl, because the cops that idolize him are the very corrupt, inept idiots he hates.

Bleck.
