Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
Even if it were a true statement, they had a man stabbed in the heart handcuffed rather than getting him immediate medical attention. Like WTF
This is the thing that should be focussed on. The police have a duty of care to everyone and they failed appallingly here. The worst thing is watching this point being swept under the carpet as the right wing arseholes make racist capital out of it.
18 year old. A kid really, not a man.
So, at what age do you think someone becomes a man?
Edit: I agree this is an awful thing to happen to a young life... But...
It's wild that we infantalise people the actual law considers an adult. He was old enough to vote, get married, join the armed forces and serve on a jury.
Also, do you think it's disrespectful to not allow him the title of, "man"?
Sometime around 25, maybe 27.
Some people catch old a lot sooner than others, though
Somewhere between 50 and 60, I think.
Mid to late twenties you have enough experience and perspective to be reasonably considered adult.
My take is that you're a full adult when your pre-frontal cortex is fully formed, which happens at around 25 years of age
You know that's just a myth, right?
Does the brain mature at 25? -- Wikipedia
I served in the ambulance service
Unlike what movies portray, it's actually possible to sustain a penetrating wound to the heart, particularly the pericardium, that will take time to be fatal
A patient can be standing there, talking to you, with a small red spot on their shirt
I'm not defending the cops, but it's not as simple as people think
Have you watched the video?
The murderer is visibly wearing a knife when the police contact him, the victim immediately tells the police he’s been stabbed.
They don’t believe him and don’t even check before cuffing him.
The murderer standing there armed with a knife isn’t cuffed at any stage.
At what time? I didn't see the knife.
That's not what I said
Again, I think the cops fucked it
But you aren't listening, and I don't care
The point is the cops didn’t even look to see if he was injured. They didn’t ask where he was stabbed. They didn’t look for blood.
Literally just ‘sure ya have’ and cuffed his arms behind his back.
Pure negligence.
They did. I remember hearing them ask where he was stabbed.
He said he couldn't breathe
Man, I thought American police were fucked up...
The British are always trying to top atrocities.
We cant get near that title, American police are significantly more fucked up.
There were 95 deaths directly caused by police in January 2026 alone in the US. There has been 1 in the UK this year so far, 2 if we state this as directly caused by police due to ineptitude.
In an ideal world we wouldn't have these incompetent fucks running society for the Epstein class, but I'd still take incompetent over bloodthirsty any day of the week.
They arrest people saying peace to Palistine so yeah, just as bad now
Well, that's an impressively stupid thing to say
