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.

She is right. The cops here in the UK are bullies and they treat the public like crap. Bullied in school became a cop to get power, uses power to bully others. The way they treat people is awful. I work in accommodation for the homless and the diffrece in the way the police talk to me and them, is night and day.
Thing is, no one want to be friends with a cop or be in a relationship with them.... could you imagen breaking up with a cop? Fuxk that! i'd sooner cut a finger off.
Generally, there are two types of CHUDs:
People who were popular in high school and bullied people, and being a CHUD is how they can relive their glory days as the cool kids forever
People who were bullied by group one, and decided to get their revenge on the world by becoming bullies themselves.
So well put here. This is a very good explanation. If you don't mind me asking, is a CHUD an abbreviation of something or is it just a word assigned/given, like Karen or Jock
CHUD is an acronym for cannibalistic humanoid undergroud dwellers. It's a reference to movie, but for whatever reason CHUD became the slang term for reactionaries. You'll every now and then see "hog" used the same way.
It's sort of the equivalent of how "gammon" is used in the UK.
It also serves as a good alternative for "white trash" without the classist baggage it comes with.
Although I'm getting the feeling gammons are going to start calling themselves gammons as a term of endearment.
I think this applies everywhere. The power attracts a particular personality type that is less than trustworthy.
Oh yeah this is definitely the case, but if you know anything about UK playgrounds, you definitely know the type.
Is freedom of speech not protected there? Or are the cops that much of a cunt that they ignore it?
Let's just say... you have that freedom but who says they can't get rough before you get a chance at some actual policing when you are in front of the Sargent.
They are on edge and jump at the opportunity to arrest someone for even a simple infraction, what makes it worse is that, resisting, talking back, swearing and in anyway make the police officer technically feel "upset" or "afraid" can add more to the case, so you can imagen a mouthy person getting manhandled like this person.
They love it.
There is no equivalent of the first amendment in the UK - we don’t have the right to freedom of speech in that sense but do have freedom of expression (from the Human Rights Act if nowhere else).
It is an offence to say hate speech or commit certain offences against public order (which the police claimed in this case).
Effective the UK operates on all speech is legal unless it is legislated against, which hate speech is.
I figure it might be like here in the US. Nobody stops cops so they can enact vengeance at will
Contempt of cop is the only actual crime in any juristiction.
