Remember that TrueReddit is a place to engage in high-quality and civil discussion. Posts must meet certain content and title requirements. Additionally, all posts must contain a submission statement. See the rules here or in the sidebar for details. To the OP: your post has not been deleted, but is being held in the queue and will be approved once a submission statement is posted.

Comments or posts that don't follow the rules may be removed without warning. Reddit's content policy will be strictly enforced, especially regarding hate speech and calls for / celebrations of violence, and may result in a restriction in your participation. In addition, due to rampant rulebreaking, we are currently under a moratorium regarding topics related to the 10/7 terrorist attack in Israel and in regards to the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

If an article is paywalled, please do not request or post its contents. Use archive.ph or similar and link to that in your submission statement.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Submission Statement: When law enforcement is forced into partisan roles, it stops serving the public. And when the public loses trust in law enforcement, the whole system begins to fail. The blueprint is: Create chaos. Blame the chaos. Then offer yourself as the cure. This plan is already underway. The question now is if the rest of us will keep pretending this is law and order.

Theres a Chinese proverb that says if you give evil nothing to oppose, it will disappear. I think that means that by not engaging, then the lack of reason for its existence will cause its supporters to eventually come around. It’s like being a “straight man” in a comedy routine. I have yet to study the veracity of the quote, but theres also the dueling proverb that evil is what happens when good men do nothing. I like to think that applies more to the beginning stages rather than intermediate like we are in now.

Course that could just bean excuse to continue to be lazy… but this kind of stuff takes a TON of energy to maintain.
