[meta] Future of crime posts (pawb.social)

In the past, folks have had discussions in crime posts about not wanting to see crime posts, and it is rare to see one with a positive voting score unless it's something actionable (such as a fundraiser or a call for people to more safely store firearms). What are folks thoughts on the addition of a guideline or rule on crime posts? I think a good ground would be discouraging hot-off-the-presses two-sentence articles that local news outlets immediately put out, but I would like to know what the community would think is reasonable before everyone is driven away.

No point in having to-the minute posting about crime because it's the same person fear mongering. Instead of posting about criminal justice reform or social programs they post about shootings, reacting to the problem instead of looking to find proactive solutions.

Standard reactionary unhelpful behavior.
