Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

There's body camera footage, and multiple eyewitnesses, do you really think they're going to make up a knife?

Are you this naive about everything or do you just especially like sucking on the Blue?

Of course, they'll lie that they saw a knife even though there's a video. "I swear I thought I saw one and I had to act." Csuse you know the video isn't going to back them up.

Even if the guy had a knife, that doesn't justify shooting into a crowd. Oh shit, there is a violent criminal in NYC. We better nuke it to make sure the criminal doesn't get away.

This is pretty tinfoil hat, I'm going to be honest with you.

Not really. Cops have lied and planted items even when video records are available. They'll even shoot your dog for simply barking, then claim it lunged at them.

Maybe go watch bystander videos and not just watch what ever CNN or fox News or what ever Copaganda you like.

There's body cam footage of Tyreek handing the cops his license and the police turned around and said "he was refusing to identify himself."

So, yeah, I fucking do.
