Fucking disgusting to see this drug-use line advanced every time a police officer needs to explain why a civilian has been executed. Any plans to actually prosecute a 1st degree murder? Or is it merely enough to tell grieving relatives that the corpse of their loved-on has officially been slandered?

Fediverse vs Disinformation

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

Well, sure, possession of any drug gets the instant death penalty in MAGA America.
Unless you're a Trump appointee, then drug possession and use is a prerequisite for employment.
Well duh... ICE confiscated the ice
You mean requisitioned.
It was coming right at us!
We had no choice.
Fuckin smoked it
The meth swerved the van towards us.
Bullshit! You know they're well supplied!
If you have meth in your car, it is ok for armed masked men to shoot you dead.

You're talking about a network that suggested euthanizing the homeless. Anchor still works there and no one cares.
Every fox news employee needs to be murdered and the children let out of their basements. Every single one.
So theyll be brought up on charges right?
...right?
This was most likely made up as an excuse to kill.
Fox news doing the bidding of the biggest pocket book.
That should be a billion dollar fine for Fox News.
They are just entertainment. Give em a break already.

I saw a single YouTube comment claiming that the guy was a drug dealer, a paedophile, and shot first. Not one of those things, all three at once. They just make all this shit up for what? To try to prove to themselves they're on the "right" side?
I misread and thought it was the anchor with meth. I mean that's a given, just y know
Meth was found in a van after the shooting. It just wasn’t the guys van who was shot…
