Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Wow, trash taking itself out.

Also taking out innocent bystanders:

two police officers pursued this man up three flights of stairs and confronted him on the station platform. Police say the man pulled out a knife. Both officers opened fire on the man, piercing him with several bullets, while also striking two bystanders; one of the officers was hit with friendly fire. One of the bystanders, a 49-year-old man, is in critical condition in the hospital from a bullet wound to the head.

They really are completely devoid of any care, aren't they?

They know that they don't have to.

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 5 points 1 month ago

Yup. So we don't have to care about them either.

There isn't any evidence of a knife except for a closeup photo which was taken of a different person in a different place who had a knife.
