What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.


Rules

1. English onlyTitle and associated content has to be in English.
2. No social media postsAvoid all social media posts. Try searching for a source that has a written article or transcription on the subject.

5. Ad hominem attacksAny kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

That if about the police chief is doing some heavy lifting.

Hardly, there's a rich history of using police to enforce racism. It's still happening today in some areas.

That's my point.... it's more likely that they are, than aren't. Thus the "if they are going to the racist bar" is doing a lot of heavy lifting

You think it's unheard of that a police officer can be a racist? Have you come here from an alternate timeline or something? If so can I come back with you?

God I wish.

The if, is if they frequent the racist bar. My point is that it's more likely that they would frequent it, than not, thus the heavy lifting.
