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.
there are exceptions and there is "encouragement" to wear identification. this will do nothing.
The exceptions are actually logical not broad. The only questionable exception that seems open to abuse is "health reasons".
But the ones we need to be worried about can't read anyway.

Has anyone even said "thank you" to democratic leaders? pretending to do something while accomplishing nothing meaningful at all takes a lot of work and skill.
Watch even thus tepid shit not pass.
I'm not sure how this is related to the TLC
I get it for that balaclava stuff, which doesn't have a lot of functional use unless it's very cold.
But cops are gonna sometimes need to wear a gas mask, and that's gonna obscure features.
Fuck em. Tear gas is on outlawed war weapon. They should have been jailed for it's use.
I don't care what reason a cop has anymore. They are liars all of them trained and required to be. That right there takes a certain lack of care for fellow humans
So cops and law enforcement as they are currently practiced are as big a threat as trump.
Until they turn on trump, they are complicit
Cold does not apply. This is california. Park rangers might sometimes need to go places where you need more than a light jacket, but no other cop ever will.
A cop does not ever need a gas mask.
They can simply choose to not deploy gas.
They're not running into fucking burning buildings. Nobody else uses gas munitions. Gas is a terror weapon.
Edit: also coast guard. Pacific can get pretty cold.
Maybe they shouldn’t be committing war crimes on civilians.
Whoopsie daisy, looks like we all need to wear gas masks today boys! Our buddy in forensics says there's totally a legitimate risk today, so the gas masks gotta come out
