Under no circumstances will bootlicking be allowed. No praising law enforcement. No justifications claiming there are good cops. ALL Cops Are Bastards. Not a few, not some, not most... ALL
There will be absolutely no tolerance of racism, xenophobia, sexism, ableism, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric or any other kind of bigotry. The Paradox of Tolerance teaches us that the only people deserving of intolerance are those who are intolerant themselves.
Whether we agree with them or not, while on Reddit we are obligated to abide by Reddit Terms Service.
Wishing harm on police is a violation of those Terms of Service.
Repeated TOS violations and lead to a subreddit being removed by Reddit admins. Please do not make us ban you for this.
This is not to say that you should not point out disingenuous arguments. Do not call someone a bootlicker if they are not boot-licking. Not compare anyone in this subreddit to a police officer without reason. Do not accuse somebody of being a fascist, racist, homophobe, etc... unless you have proof.
We deal with enough report abuse from bootlickers and brigaders. Please don't add to that.
Do not advertise.
Recently there has been a serious issue with reposting. One user will crosspost something that fits this subreddit from another subreddit, and within a few hours there will be 10 to 20 other crossposts from the same subreddit. We will now be removing these posts because they serve no purpose other than to dilute the discussion across multiple posts rather than concentrating it into one single post.
Do not brigade pro-police subreddits or encourage such behavior. Do not post about being banned from pro-police subs. This is a violation of Reddit Terms of Service.
Covid is real.
The vaccine reduces hospitalizations and death.
Masks reduce transmission.
These are facts, they are not open to debate.
