Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
When the media says "protesters clashed with police", what they actually mean is "police violently assaulted protesters".
Even on the rare occasion where any of the protesters are violent, the cops almost always initiate it and any response is met with almost Israel-levels of disproportionate brutality.
#ACAB means police stenographers cosplaying as journalists too.

Images captured by CBS News Los Angeles showed members of the National Guard using what appeared to be tear gas and firing non-lethal rounds toward some groups of demonstrators.
The guy who shot her was watching her at the start of the video, so he clearly knew she was a reporter

"These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists," the post said, "Remember, NO MASKS!"
Unless you're ICE. Or a cop. Or a J6er.
Now I wonder if blending in with ice would be easy these days. They all wear basically camo khakis, and if everyone is masked anyway, what's to stop an entire cadre of people to show up to ice thugs arresting people all dressed like them? They'd never know who to arrest if a melee started
You probably need to be a white male at least.
It probably would. Just wear your most tacti-cool gear and join a group. You'd need several people on board to make a difference though.
Those assholes don't show name or insignia. Show them the problem with that.
Looks like real Americans don't like fascism.
Looks like real Americans want their law enforcement to identify themselves and provide due process, as our Constitution dictates.
Looks like real Americans want their federal law enforcement agencies to be created by an act of Congress, not by a 79 year old steeply declining felon rapist.
We are less than 5 months into this. It's going to get a whole lot worse. L.A. is setting an example and standing up for our laws and our Constitutional rights.
I’m so proud of LA right now.
Those of us on the opposite side of the country may or may not be ready, as well, when our time comes. (And it’s definitely a “when.”)
I was up late watching a live stream. Haven't seen anything about the guy in a min van doing reverse donuts near the crowd. Some people were throwing rocks at him before he took off.
Chopper followed him till he parked, then a cop car pulled up and arrested him.
Yes, the news chopper guy and anchor seemed almost relieved to have a car chase to film for a change from watching the protests deteriorate into something more like random hooliganism and police violence. It's just luck he didn't kill somebody, he was clearly trying to. Like when he swerved towards the cyclist, and aimed those donuts at the crowd.
I salute our troops
And I'm not talking about the national gaurd
