    Top tier victim blaming, my friend.

      This dude is out here defending the police for every situation that happens in LA. They are pretending to be leftist but are actually a Nazi apologist. When I called them out for it they immediately jumped into my DMs and started threatening violence, fascist Nazi apologist 101.

            Source here says back of the thigh. Was wearing his press pass around his neck and his camera.

            I haven’t seen the video, but you’re saying he’d just turned.

            Reading between the lines here - if he’d been slower turning, or not turned at all, that bullet would have been much closer to his testicles.

            Before someone says I’m reaching:

            • City of LA Pays $200k to protestor whose testicle was destroyed by rubber bullet
            • Different protestor calls for changes at LAPD after testicle is ruptured by rubber bullet
            • Police bias trainer shot while holding hands up in San Jose, suffers ruptured testicle
            • LAPD shoots man with hands up at point blank range in testicles with rubber bullet

            I don’t know. I don’t see any shades of gray here, just black and more black.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
