The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Classic cop shit. Show up after all the drama is over. Makes it worse.

There is only one bigger waste of money than cops. And that's the Military. We have nukes. Fuckin' try it. Go 'head. I'll pull the fuckin' temple down on all of us.
