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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

I remember when I found a bunch of stolen goods and handed it in to the cops after I'd find out as much as possible about the goods (it was jewellry thrown in a lake, my family thinks somebody hit it there after doing a break-in and would wait for the heat to die off). We'd cleaned up the silverware, found names, dates, all sorts of stuff that could help the cops find the owners. Lots of family heirlooms. I handed it in so my little sister could learn something about doing The Good Thing and Helping Others, plus we found some fun in talking about the finders' fee.
Three days later I come back and the cops say they didn't receive any goods that day, and I also spot two of them wearing watches that were among the goods handed in. one of them winked at me.

every single cop should be executed

This happened on christmas day too. Seemed like the opportunity to do a genuine christmas miracle for some family that probably missed their old heirlooms + an incredible PR opportunity for the cops. But nah.

They didn't even give you one of those "Porky's friends" cards to get out of tickets and shit?

Hogs gonna hog.

I hope you were not much older than your sister.
Getting cops envolved is never a good thing.

I was still a teen, but it's not like we got cops involved really. We went to the local station and delivered a bunch of stolen goods we'd found in a lake. If anything the cops stayed out of it, considering the fact that they didn't do anything
