United Kingdom
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.

Still no excuse for the officer to kick the guy in the head and try to get him again.
Worst of all is he's trying to spin it as an attempt to subdue him, despite the fact he's already on the floor, been tasered, and is being restrained by another officer.
Circumstances will almost certainly justify him getting angry and lashing out. He's just been punched multiple times, seen two female officers get laid out in front of him, it's understandable that he saw red and acted excessively but he's decided to go for a lie that he acted in a rational and considered manner.
Looks to me like they go in unneccesarily heavy handed to begin with too.
Not condoning anything the guy in blue does, but he's facing a ticket machine and is grabbed by 3 cops and has his neck shoved down.
