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, 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.

MODERATORS
Not defending Diddy. I don't know or care enough to know about it. But using the over militarization of police raids as evidence to support criminal wrongdoing to support the raid in the first place is just astronomically wrong.
Every raid the police destroy the house. They see it as a game and a way to teach them a lesson. They know exactly how to cause the most disruptive damage and do exactly that. Cutting wires and smashing cameras, breaking door frames, punching holes in walls near utilities to cause them to be turned off. It's all calculated as maximum hurt.
Unfortunately it is known publicly that 5% to 10% of these raids are wrong. Just straight up whoops. Wrong house, wrong person, old lease, bad policing and investigating. No criminal activity, no intent, nothing. Just perfectly innocent people getting their lives ruined.
Then there are many other people who it happens to and they never become a part of that wrongful statistic because of police malace. If you attempt to get your damages paid for because of a bad raid, it is much easier for the police to double down, criminally arrest you for something, and make you prove you aren't whatever they allege. Now you have a record, huge legal bills, and lifelong implications. And the police now how a justified raid and you get nothing.
The number in one town I lived in was 1 out 6 were bad raids. 10 to 12 a week on average happening. That's 100 people a year, in this one 800k city, getting their lives destroyed for a big whoops. There is roughly 1 case per year or every 2 years where they are actually found to be wrong. The rest the lawyers and everyone else agree, drop it.
The US is a failed nation.
