The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I've heard from people that were cops back in the 60s and 70s that after the 1982 decision in Harlow v Fitzgerald gave cops Qualified Immunity, illegally by the way, that was when the War on Cops propaganda started, and when they stopped living in the communities they were patrolling. I take it with a grain of salt since they were cops during the Civil Rights movement, and they didn't quit, and because none of them realize that QI is illegal.
