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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Alternate headline: Cop gets a paid vacation after being caught assaulting someone nuerodivergent.

“I remember watching that video and that’s not the person I want to be, that’s not the person I believe I am.”

MacPherson also wrote a letter of apology to Cash, according to records in his file obtained by the News Journal.

he felt so ashamed and even wrote an apology. but not ashamed enough to quit being a cop and do something else that doesn't result in people getting dragged out of their houses and assaulted when he feels disrespected. he literally says "thats not who I want to be" but then does nothing to change who he is.

The "crime of jaywalking" is the equivalent of mistakenly using a dinner fork when you were supposed to use a salad fork. But this is Florida so it is treated like worst thing ever.

It wasn't even jaywalking though.

Yeah, the article rightly points out there is no such thing in a residential neighborhood. Cop was probably just rolling around looking for someone Black or otherwise marginalized to terrorize for no reason
