Ugh. I’m going to get downvoted … but I kind of agree with the ruling.

1. We don’t know the whole story. A 95 year old dementia patient with a butcher knife hits her head and dies after being tazed… that’s the summary. The courts had all the details and likely made the best decision.

2. One dumb unfortunate mistake should not put an officer in prison for 10+ years. This man served his community for years only to make one regretful split second decision … his years of service have to count for something and balance out the mistake.

It says Trump is in office.

Rookie numbers. How low can you go?

Well DUH.

Trump is a grifter and has a really potent grip on his idiotic MAGAt followers. Let them all financially hurt themselves. I’m guessing at least half of the world’s EV market absolutely hates Elon Musk and won’t buy a Tesla. Also, the MINUTE democrats take one of the US branches his taxpayer funded corporate welfare gravy train is gone.

Oh yeah. This is the type of imagery that got me banned off Reddit! Doesn’t make the statement any less true.

Sounds like a bunch of traitors.

It sucks that the stick is rising. Trumps asshats are actually investing.

It won’t… they will bail it ot with taxpayer money. Like it or not every US citizen will buy some Telsa stock (but never own it). Capitalism for thee, but communism for me if the business fails.

Trump is so stupid. He has to be nothing but a distraction for a background political mastermind. How could someone this idiotic have won an election?

That is the point I was making about Twitter, and it applies to Reddit as well. You have to stop that radicalization socially, they need their hands slapped to know that they are wrong. Twitter and Reddit dont just let MAGA go crazy, they give them a safe space to do it in. They block us normal people from telling them they are being crazy. He’ll, Reddit let’s them throw people out if they don’t have Conservative flair (like a checkmark).

The institutions are preventing proper social responses to these hateful people.

I understand what you are trying to say, but Twitter is far from free speech. Twitter is a mob/mind control device. It brings hatred to the forefront. The worst posts thrown right into people’s faces, then they tailor the content to focus the hatred.
One only needs to type the words “Cis Gender” in Twitter to see the censorship, the hatred, and the target all working together.

That’s not free speech, it’s brainwashing. Reddit is just as bad.

The bot was probably right. That has been yelled a lot. Soylent Green is … Rich people!

Yes, sadly, freedom of speech includes freedom of hate speech. The platform would have to rely on its users downvoting or ridiculing the offender rather than outright bans.

I got banned yesterday and did not know what Lemmy was until I did a search for Reddit alternatives.

If you post on r/conservative they will actually stalk you and look through your posts to report stuff … but you report them and that is ok.

Same here.

Because that word combination just makes sense.

I think what pissed me off most with Discovery was them stealing that Tardigrade storyline from a videogame and then fighting the poor game developer down to the last in court. Also, that storyline made no sense for Star Trek.

Yes, but that is like being banned on a specific Reddit. You didnt follow the rules. Reddit will ban you from the entire platform.
