The media seem to have forgotten the word "terrorist" in that article because this is actual terrorism.

Zionists trying to kill members of the ethnicity they claim to represent for "not being White enough".

It's the natural evolution of all Nazi-like white supremacist movements.

Just a warning, like most media this is controlled and biased, both my comments got removed for BS reasons. And this supposed to be Not the Onion?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

you know, being less antagonistic and hostile would probably help in not getting banned.

https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/[email protected] is a masterclass in how not to behave if you wanna keep posting with your account.

Sure, someone making comments about my mother and other insults bcs they didn't like my opinion is OK, but I can't say anything back and gets me banned.

And I'll tell you exactly what happened here. Someone comments how "almost all of them are totally innocent people"

To which I replied that the polls taken showed the vast majority condoned the level of violence the IDF used. In the same comment I mentioned the ones that didn't and that many orthodox jews protested the genocide.

And my comment gets removed for 'lumping in all the jews together'?!!!

Worse than that is one reaction to it.

"Perhaps we could just put them in camps…"

An obvious hasbara tactic trying to slander me as a jewhater and suggesting I want to kill them. Apparently that is OK

Florida man strikes again.

Also...why is the Miami Beach squad car painted in rainbow colors? That can't be their regular logo.

Ah. Apparently this is an ongoing thing in Miami Beach PD of which I had been unaware.

The rainbow police car

Miami Beach also has a patrol car with "POLICE" decorated in rainbow hues. The Ford Crown Victoria is used at community events such as the annual Miami Beach Pride festivities on Ocean Drive.. (Photo below from Miami Beach PD)

Miami PD joins Pride trend with rainbow coloured car

Officers from the Miami Police Department joined the Pride trend with a rainbow-coloured car.

Footage shows the cops with the event-goers doing a countdown to reveal the patrol car that was repainted for the day on June 4.

It sounds like it mostly has media on the right upset.

I have no idea why The Guardian is using the image, but maybe they just searched for "miami police" to get a stock filler image and slapped the first thing that came up into their article.
