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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

An ICE spokesperson confirmed to Documented that HSI’s Citizens Academies are still ongoing across the country. Similar initiatives are implemented by other law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the spokesperson said.

somehow the already very alarming headline was burying the lede... yes-honey-left

Can we get a list of locations? For infiltration and other hilarious reasons.

God damn, a screenwriter would be scolded by their editor for being too heavy handed if they went half as far as this article says.

Unfortunately in this case the story was made into two video games, one that is almost a parody in how much it polishes the boot of American civil religion (The Division 1 and 2)

When in street clothes, due to liability issues anytime you engage a target, especially in a deadly force situation, you need to identify who you are, Police, drop the gun!, while drawing and firing on the target. Video, cameras, phones and witnesses.

We know this is how cops operate, try to make it sound like there's a deadly threat even if there isn't, but this is what they're training civilians to do?

[–] miz@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

even if the target doesn't have a gun

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

You wouldn't think they would want to admit this to non-cops
