In August 2018, Brailsford was reinstated by the Mesa Police Department, staying for a further 42 days in what the department described as a "budget position". The department agreed to reimburse Brailsford for medical expenses related to his post-traumatic stress disorder -- the result of his shooting of Shaver and the resultant criminal trial. The reinstatement allowed Brailsford to apply for "accidental disability" experienced during the course of work. As a result, Brailsford was unanimously approved to be retired on medical grounds. Brailsford was also given a pension of $2,500 per month. The fact that Brailsford was ultimately medically retired instead of remaining fired was only revealed to the public in July 2019.
He just fucking executed him in the hallway and walked over his body, and he gets rewarded?
Literally Charles McGill
don't speak like the french
The past participle of a verb is used as the passive participle (e.g. indicates the passive voice, where the patient of the verb is the subject and the agent is the indirect object). "She was killed" or "He was eaten" is in the passive voice, while "I died" or "I killed" is in the active voice. It's normally supposed to be preceded by an auxiliary verb (in this case "be"), but news titles omit the copula among other things.
This is literally the passive voice
Active voice would be "Israeli strike kills two twins in Gaza as [their] father goes to register [their] birth" or something
be trump, president when a massive pandemic was starting
cut taxes for the insanely rich, butcher most government functions and reduce government investment into the economy
have the worst possible pandemic response possible
blame the next president when the corporate bubble made by your hard-to-reverse policies bursts and tanks the economy
take credit for the economic boom caused by previous president's 8 years of outstanding economics which you completely tore down
profit(..?)
The policies of Obama + Biden dug us out of the recession that Republicans and "free-market" (tax cuts for the rich) advocates threw us in as a sacrifice, and gave Americans a break from shitty conservanomics. But people like you can't possibly realize that economic policies have long-term consequences, and that conservative economic policies in particular end up exploding in our face after a few years. The economy is too complicated for you to understand I guess, your understanding doesn't go past "tax = bad".
I see some periods and commas and an en dash in there but yes it is optional and Im disappointed you think otherwise whitespace will free us all

Is that why they call him Sleepy Joe?
What the fuck
Which person decided to domesticate that thing. Just like "hey I found this weird looking grass fruit wanna enslave it" and chief's like "hell yeah of course I wanna enslave it!" and then they just ate increasingly beady grass for a few thousand years
Shhh shhh no we have to make the peasants believe every exploitable activity is an intelligent sidehustle. THEIR idea. Not something that will be forced upon them by capitalism. How do you think we create like half of professions ever?
What in the hell is a "Caramel Ribbon Cursetard"
What do you mean women don't like a FOSS privacy-oriented user experience? Don't they like going through 500 pages of documentation when Gentoo breaks only to realize all along that the problem was fixed by turning the computer off and on again?
What do you mean men don't like that either?? What kind of place is this?!
How have scientists not figured out interstellar travel yet??? It's really right in front of us!
It was only a jest. Blowing up a factory would be, you know, bad. If people were in it.
There's plenty of Anarchist and non-ML communities on .ml and hexbear. The hardcore Maoist stuff doesn't apply to most of the communities on .ml. Either way though, the communities they do have isn't as relevant to federation for lemm.ee since the admins stated they only consider defederation for activities on lemm.ee. Which again, I would say lemmy.world and other instances have had just as much of a problem. That's relevant because in that case, if we're defederating .ml/hexbear, logically we should defederate .world.
Every day on this site I see people who are into transphobia ("I don't believe in trans people" I shit you not is something I've seen), Palestinians ethnic cleansing, want to get rid of healthcare, all that Project 2025 and "ancap" stuff. And they're mostly from lemmy.world and sometimes instances like sh.itjust.works. Their propoganda seems to prove far more consequential on the site, as most people will think you're a lunatic if you say China is a free and democratic nation, but a lot of people will buy what is now mainstream far-right propoganda and culture war nonsense. Although both of those will tell Americans to not vote for Kamala.
