Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

At least one suspected attacker was shot dead in front of a barricaded home after a three-hour standoff in North Carolina.

He said it was the worst attack on police officers he could recall in his 30 years on the force.
First time I've seen this meme used optimistically.
I know it's just cop-speak but framing the perps as "attackers" when they were barricaded in the house is pretty ridiculous.

God I fucking love this site. Y’all rock.
One more now
Looks like it's 4 dead cops, one U.S. Marshal and three local police officers.
1 US Marshal, 1 CMPD, and 2 NC “Department of Adult Corrections” officers who were working with the US Marshal.
The CMPD pig died later in the hospital, the other three I think died on scene.
If prison is so horrible that killing four people (although they're pigs), well knowing that the remaining pigs will execute you on the spot in retaliation, is a better option than going there then there's something really fucked up about prison.
To the extent people should be sent to prison in the first place it shouldn't be the torture cages of America but rather gulags centered on re-education and rehabilitation.

The cross-post on lemmy.zip got locked because it was full of us just posting lol
I saw that. They kept removing comments saying "we don't wish death on people here". They don't those fucks just stay on reddit at that point?
Why is it so tiny?
There used to be a bug where it would display some html next to the emote. It’s since been fixed but the original bug has been preserved in a new dedicated emote.
Yeah, but the emote is so tiny I can barely read the HTML.
Do the emotes have a width limit maybe?
uncapped height, limited width. renders at 60px width IIRC

I would have simply kept walking and not attempt to break into the bunker-house, but that's just me.
Officers killed in guy-in-house-involved shooting.

Tbh, even if someone didn't hate cops this goes to show how bad at their job they are.
Every article... sorry, "article"... I've read about this just makes it seem like the only illegal thing the "felon" did was have a firearm.
Like... were they planning on doing something with it? Were they doing something else illegal but the firearm charge was the one that was easiest to get a warrant for?
