At least one suspected attacker was shot dead in front of a barricaded home after a three-hour standoff in North Carolina.

EDIT: I know there is a real problem with police, especially in the US, but wishing or celebrating harm done to others is not welcome here. Post locked.

Articles like this show that Lemmy is just as toxic as any far right platform, if not more so.

A police officer dying trying to apprehend a violent criminal is nothing to be happy about.

What a tragedy. I will be keeping Suspect and their family in my thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

I hope you people get what you want. And I'm not saying that to be nice.
