Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

I mean yeah but is no one gonna mention that you have to live in a weird shithole where the special forces run your door in to shoot whoever because some weirdo can dial a phone number?
We, Americans, don't mention it because we know. Also, that is addressed in another part of the comments, I know the structure of the comments makes that hard to know.
What are we going to do about the police? Not a thing.
This would happen in most western countries.
You telling me they don't respond with force to threats of terrorist attacks or bombs?
They shouldn't respond with deadly force to the presumed victims of the attack!
They are responding to the scene of a bomb.
That's not something you discuss, that's something you dominate until the scene is safe.
You think it's acceptable for innocent people being threatened by a bomb to be harmed by the police who respond because they need to "dominate" the situation? What even is the point of the police when they hurt the people they're sent to protect?
In this hypothetical, they are there to find a bomb, and bomber. Collateral damage is to be minimized, obviously. Proper training is what's needed for that, which many police forces across the world lack.
A negotiator is not what you send to defuse a bomb or disable a terrorist.
I'm not sure I've ever even seen a member of our "SWAT" teams.
