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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

So they won't do that bullshit cop talk "officer-involved incident" when the cops are the ones taking fire instead of mag dumping someone's chihuahua

The individuals launched fireworks in an apparent effort to lure law enforcement, the source said.

Critical support for comrade fireworks o7

idk this seems like the kind of thing where you probably don't want to get caught, making the fireworks a bad idea unless you have a sniper team and a distraction team and plausible deniability.

You're probably right, but my immediate thought here was that I was so irritated by the fireworks on Friday that I made a post on /c/neurodiverse about it and now here are fireworks possibly maybe doing something cool for us 😆

Like all tools, fireworks can be used for good or ill

Same link for Hexbear home instance: https://hexbear.net/post/5467305

I can't decide whether the bomb explosions or drone shows with US military drones would be more ghoulish though

an unknown number of suspects

It's hard to tell if this means that some of them escaped, or just that the information hasn't been released

*sounds like some got away?

A federal law enforcement source told CBS News Saturday that local police arrested eight people. The official said some of those apprehended were wearing body armor. The source told CBS News that early reports indicate that more than a dozen masked individuals dressed in black arrived at the Prairieland ICE detention facility late Friday night and vandalized vehicles and security cameras in the parking lot.

**actually, were those two separate incidents?

incredible powers of whiteness if a dozen plus people shooting back at pigs were captured

[–] trabpukcip@hexbear.net 49 points 6 days ago

Alvarado police said that when one of the first responding officers tried to engage with the person, an unknown number of suspects opened fire. At least one bullet struck an officer in the neck, police said.
