Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Wtf is the point in that shit when the only fucking entrance and exit is at the ground.

It's the same point as going skiing on an extreme rated slope. It's about adrenaline, an experience, making yourself the movie badass, using expensive as shit stuff to horrify and intimidate other human beings and getting off on your power over them, your power to make them feel fear. Plus the brass thinks it looks cool and tough and military-like and sends their hog base squealing with joy over this kind of military attack on the sub-humans they hate.

Yeah but it's fucking stupid when walking in the front door has more strategic power because you control all the entrances and exits.

The only timeremovedlling onto the roof is necessary is if you can't go in the front door or you reasonably want control of the roof for whatever reason. That has military purposes, it has almost no purpose for cops.

Can confirm first hand that rappelling is fun... Like I said, they're doing it for fun while that inflict terror.
