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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

I really can't express how much rage this fills me with. ACAB. Every last fucking one.

Whoever the bastard is who shot her probably doesn't even think about what they've done. Especially since they're getting a big fucking raise this month from the city of Minneapolis. It's really fucking dark, and kind of a metaphore for how agents of the imperial core just casually kill all sorts of people without thought, much less consequences.

I had a recent interaction with agents of a migration office. Those creatures are disgusting and the most unhinged violent fantasy we could think off is probably too kind on them

damn, that's crazy that a brain injury slowly gets worse like that

No doubt there will be a heated debate that takes place on the day after the revolution over who gets to assure the pigs that the blunted guillotine they are about to be put into is the less lethal option.

Still Lethal

Cops should be rounded up and put on a train

This is so horrible. I'm so sorry for Linda.

I do want to take this time to emphasize protective gear during actions. Protective gear may not have helped Linda, I'm not victim blaming. The blame lies with cops and their enablers, for whom I have unlimited hatred. But it does help on average to be cautious. Spaces that seems safe often are not. Wear ballistic goggles and helmets. Bring a respirator that can handle organics, i.e. P100.

Every one of us is precious.

"Less lethal" is some supreme bullshit coming from police that could call their new prole suppression weapon a Butcher 5000K and still never face consequences for recklessly firing it into a crowd.

They're dabbing on us with this bullshit.

[–] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Less lethal if used properly. They're supposed to bounce those rubber bullets. How are they even supposed to do that in a real life situation? This isn't billiards.

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

They’re meant to be shot at the ground into a crowd of people, which seems feasible since accuracy by volume is obviously the intention. I’ve literally never seen it deployed that way though.

[–] SoloboiNanook@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago

Fuck every cop forever

[–] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago

every cop should be executed forthwith 👍

Death to America

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

This is another police murder. Just in slow motion.

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

One more reason to bring safety glasses to any protest. Not blaming the victim, btw. But be safe out there.
