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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
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. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
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.

I’m hugely disappointed that you feel the need to make the distinction, it’s incredibly USAian.
My point, all along, is that ICE shouldn’t be behaving how they are, at all, it’s fucked.
And you felt the need to make that point, repeatedly, when no-one disagreed with it. And you won't even begin to talk about why.
Yes, I think we absolutely need to make a decision between true things and false things. I don't give a shit what country you associate that habit with because it's so clearly important and positive. You'll have to actually respond to me if you want to convince me that it is anything other than vital in today's "post-truth" landscape.
I’ve told you why i said what i said repeatedly. I’ll say it one more time, but I won’t be entertaining it again ….
The fact that ICE felt comfortable shooting someone is fucked. No, you’re right, people shouldn’t be making things up, or not fact checking, but I’m not discussing that, I’m only talking about the shooting.
Additionally, as USAians, you need to be calling this out, loudly. It’s not enough to assume people will know you are anti-ICE.
Ffs. Is it really too much for you to grasp that I think that if people don’t loudly and blatantly call this and other ICE actions out, it looks like they’re ok with it?
You haven't explained at all - and still haven't - why you felt the need to accuse people of thinking it's OK. Remember you started with "well that's OK then" - implying the parent comment thought ICE was fine to shoot people - and then said "Do you think it’s ok he got shot?"
You have only explained that you think what ICE did was wrong. You haven't explained why you felt the need to imply that other people thought what ICE did was right. I guess you aren't going to.
Imagine if I replied to your comment with, "do you think it's OK that JFK got shot?" You'd be pretty confused, right, because you haven't said anything to suggest you thought it was. That's exactly what you did, just with someone else, not JFK. There was exactly the same amount of hint that the person above that it was OK.
