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. 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.

That people are being stabbed in prison is an indictment on the barbarity of our prison system, so this should still piss you off.
I think for many people it’s probably the “just desserts” factor of our barbaric system hurting somebody who was a very barbaric cog in that very system.
While I certainly understand the concept of schadenfreude, I don't think it should be built into our systems, and that doing so is an unjust, unethical failure on our ability to govern ourselves.
We know this system does more harm than good but enable it because yeah, it does feel great when bad things happen to shitty people.
I mean they basically just told you that they're a sociopath, so I don't think they care.
Not when it's some asshat that killed a man for a bounced check. He pleaded for his life and called out for his mother. Fuck Derek. That dude can be stabbed 1 million times to teach other officers they aren't above the laws they choose to preserve. He put his own law on full display. He reaped what he sewed.
The barbarity of the US prison system is a feature, not a bug. Americans really seem to love exorbitant punishments, awfully similar to medieval Europe. Perhaps in a few centuries your culture will reach modern human rights standards.
Not this time, kiddo. Bad man gets bad treatment.
Yea but do you realize how half those people got sent to prison in the first place? Besides petty non violent crimes those in that group I don't count unless they get violent in prison as a result of prison itself. I mean I agree should havengot stabbed but there's a reason most are in prison.
