20·5 days agoreposting my comment from the thread yesterday:
reposting my comment in a thread last month about this:
in b4 haveibeenhaveibeenflocked.
they have a list of their current collection of 239 .csv files but sadly don’t appear to let you actually download them to query offline
they now have 519 sources, some of which are downloadable from muckrock but many aren’t.
i still don’t understand why this website isn’t open source and open data, and i strongly recommend thinking carefully about it (eg, thinking about if you’d mind if the existence of your query becomes known to police and/or the public) before deciding if you want to type a given plate number in to it.

18·6 days agonumerous professions are far more dangerous than being a cop. there are well over 700k cops in the US and only around 150 die each year (except during the pandemic when covid killed an extra thousand or so).

Who was US President back then?

same guy as now. (were you thinking it wasn’t?)
It’s a website.
I found a slightly higher res version; it’s west 🙄
In this slightly higher-res copy, it does appear to be “MS13”. (Which makes about as much sense as labeling Uruguay “west”…)
for anyone wondering if this actually happened, it did. (in 2019)
Luckily it was just a chmod
that can still render a system unbootable 😅

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•[NSFW video] of ICE Murdering Minneapolis resident Renee GoodEnglish
21·11 days agoIt’s very clear from the video that she never hit him and he shot her in the face while she was going less than 5mph.
in this grainy video the ny post is choosing to show without the others, i’d say it is somewhat less than very clear what happened. but it becomes very clear when you see this side by side with the other videos from much closer by.
the new york times has a good video which includes this one and others here (and unlike many things there it is not paywalled)




























I was surprised too. Maybe Know Your Meme is wrong, or maybe the VHS artifacts help foster false memories of having seen it earlier :)
i edited the post to include a clip of the film it’s from, btw
