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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson's ruling declared that the actions of Taylor's boyfriend, who fired a shot at police the night of the raid, were the legal cause of her death, not a bad warrant.

Wonder why he opened fire? Couldn't have been because of the no-knock no-announce plainclothes raid that was entirely indistinguishable from a home invasion, could it?

legality for the poor in the us requires mindreading.

Your right to "Castle Doctrine" ends where m'lord's henchmen begin. you-are-a-serf

Maybe someone else remembers, but I swear there was a case of a known Black Panther in the 60s/70s who shot and wounded a cop that was illegally arresting and brutalized his comrade, and the court ruled the shooting of the pig justified because there was no cause for arrest and the cop was plain-clothed I think. I can't imagine that ever happening today.

A no knock raid at the wrong address lol

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 77 points 2 months ago

And Amerikkkans think the law is impartial.

Always surprised it doesn't happen more. Surely someone will go "Law Abiding Citizen" sometime and yet

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 31 points 2 months ago

yeah, i'm always shocked we've yet to also see a video where a bunch of cops are beating on some helpless person and some hero just comes from out of frame with a 12 gauge and does some piggy popping

The NRA and all the gun owners are surely going to rush to their defense and uphold the right to defend yourself from breakins. Just like they did with Philando Castile.

[–] porcupine@lemmygrad.ml 54 points 2 months ago

I think it's wrong to libel the victim of attempted homicide while participating in a criminal conspiracy to cover up the murder their partner, but I guess that's why I'm not a US federal judge.

Death to Amerikkka

JB-shining-aggro "I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with Blood. I had...vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done."

[–] roux@hexbear.net 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fucking death to Amerikkka. This is so fucking stupid. So it's ok for pigs to forge a warrant for the wrong home, which I guess isn't trespassing, nor breaking and entering, nor just flat out fucking illegal. But it's somehow bad for someone to fire a gun at the pigs who are LITERALLY breaking and entering into their home. Got it.

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To be clear, since they didn't announce themselves, this effectively means it's illegal to shoot at a home invader breaking the door of your home down ever until you confirm that they are not a police officer.

But really it just means

us-foreign-policy

I wonder how many seconds you'd need to wait for a reply before sending rounds downrange?
