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.

Roommates who sued a Maryland county Monday claim police officers illegally entered their apartment without a warrant, detained them at gunpoint without justification and unnecessarily shot their pet dog, which was left paralyzed and ultimately euthanized.

The dog, a boxer mix named Hennessey, did not attack the three officers who entered the apartment before two of them shot the animal with their firearms and the third fired a stun gun at it, according to the federal lawsuit.

The lawsuit seeks at least $16 million in damages over the June 2, 2021 encounter, which started with Prince George's County police officers responding to a report of a dog bite at an apartment complex where the four plaintiffs lived. What happened next was captured on police body camera video and video from a plaintiff's cellphone.

You made stuff up to justify police illegally detaining people and killing a dog; and I'm mentally unwell lmao. Bootlicker projection at its finest

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I see you've never lived near trashy people before. People with pittbull mixes love to tout that it's the owner that makes them violent, and they're not inherently dangerous.

oddly enough, that's the exact same line of thinking people advocating against gun control use. "It's not the gun it's the person wielding it."

Well a yorkshire terrier left off the leash isn't going to do much, but a pitt mix? there's a reason pittbulls and pitt mixes are responsible for 65% of dog attack deaths.

So when I hear about a dog bite attack, that had been traced back to a pitt mix named after a godamn liquor (nobody names their dog after a bridge, people who lapped that comment up are morons), excuse me if I presume that these trashy ass people are terrible dog owners, let their dog bite someone, and now they're trying to play it off like they're just innocent babes lost in the wood... nah. I don't buy it. I for one, doubt these four are faultless in all this.

which is exactly what I said in the beginning.

You're praising someone's dog getting killed illegally lol. I'd pity your family, but I'm sure they already distanced themselves from the disappointment that is you. Try not to lick any more boots today dipshit lmao
