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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

utilizing camping paraphernalia (mattress, blanket, pillow as bedding)

agony-consuming fucking copspeak is sick

I hope every cop is violently killed

It's not a direct threat, or statement of intent, it's considered protected speech.

What a piece of shit. I hope his skull learns what a large amount of force centered in a tiny mass can do to it.

[Stewart] has issued the majority of the citations for unlawful camping in Louisville.

glad to know there's a new beat in town: being the basher of the unhoused

Once in the police vehicle, Stewart narrated to himself as his body camera recorded his comments.

“So I don’t for a second believe that this woman is going into labor,” he said.

He returned to find the woman sitting on the ground, with legs askew and labored breathing, waiting for the ambulance. Stewart hands her a citation, and she balls it up and tosses it aside as the ambulance arrives to take her to the hospital.

“You’re all horrible people,” she said, as she got to her feet. “I’m glad y’all got this job to f*** with the homeless and not help society.”

Later that day she gave birth to her child, according to her attorney, Public Defender Ryan Dischinger. He said both the woman and her son are healthy three months later, and the family is now in shelter without assistance from LMPD or the court system.

“The reality for her, and for anyone who’s homeless in Kentucky, is that they’re constantly and unavoidably breaking this law,” Dischinger said. “What she needed was help and compassion and instead she was met with violence.”

i feel that this is the best meat in the article. it's a microcosm of everything, whole fucking country.

These pigs are inhuman.

I don't see how a person could treat someone going through labor this poorly. How do you even sleep at night.

Sen. Whitney Westerfield, a Republican from Fruit Hill who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee, was one of the bill’s more vocal opponents. When he learned of the citation against a woman in labor, he called it “deplorable.”

“Where's the humanity in that response? Where is the compassion for human life? Where is the pro-life compassion for the unborn child in that response?” Westerfield said.

That cop is such a piece of shit that he’s making other Republicans ask if they’re the baddies

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 17 points 6 days ago

Republicans revel in punishing women for any reason, including no reason at all. They're more upset the cop got caught saying the quiet part outloud. They'll talk about children and babies, but it's just concern trolling. Republicans would never go as far as to punish cops or change the laws to protect homeless people.

Disgusting, vile, pathetic human being.

camping paraphernalia

Beyond parody

[–] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 1 points 4 days ago

I do not believe in corporal punishment.

That being said, in cases like this it should be an option.
