Texans lawmakers are going to push a new law making it illegal to record police and cite this incident, guaranteed.
That was the top comment.

They can try that and it won’t matter because of Turner v Driver. We certainly appreciate the hard work of the Batthousai.
The ones that weren’t deleted yet were commenting about what the officer was doing.
I’m going to bet the whole comment thread will be nuked.
It’s adorable that you think the same shit doesn’t happen here. I’d urge you to read the mod logs.
r/news has the worst moderators on reddit by far. Like I seriously suspect they’re children.
Was banned for calling out atrocities by Israel. And this was long before October 7th. The way they responded in DM made them sound like I was arguing with a 14-year-old.
Yeah, I don’t miss dealing with this bullshit.

No idea. They hid behind anonymity of the ModTeam account.
Worldnews deteriorated as well.
Frankly all subs took a major dive following the controversial API change. A lot of seasoned mods with a moral backbone left and yes-men puppets replaced them.
I’m guessing comments were to the effect of “they probably had it coming”.

BadNot defending cops here. Did you know that it used to be illegal to help slaves escape slave states? The more you know. 🌈
Anyway, I can’t tell if this is a sarcastic comment by you or not so… Uh… Please say sike?
ACAB is a well-known acronym.
My comment wasn’t pro-cop.I wildly misunderstood, my bad! ACAB
You are going to ignore that this same shit happens right here on lemmy?
EDIT: and just like Reddit, they only downvote and lack the balls to respond.
Oh no, who cares, carry on with your life if a website deleted comments.
I think it’s actually a serious problem if the most prominent places for discussion are heavily censored
I agree with you but that’s the direction everyone else wants to go because places that aren’t heavily censored “become right wing hives,” and therefore the more censorship the better. It happens here on .ml too.
Not to defend the mods, since I’m not going back to Reddit even to read a post, but mods also have to make sure the discussion can happen. You can’t just have one big fat orange guy shouting down everyone else and call it a discussion. Even “free speech” needs to follow some rules, starting with respecting others’ right to free speech, and you’re not free from the consequences of your speech.
Let’s take the atrocity in Israel as a prime example. It’s surely a horror we should be outraged by and demand action, but why is it coming up in a discussion about police abuse of force? I’ll support you being outraged for that cause, but you need to respect that there are other causes as well and that we have the right to freely discuss without someone derailing it by shouting down the discussion
I don’t have an issue with reasonable moderation, but I object to the idea that every pattern of moderation should just be accepted and that censorship isn’t a problem worth worrying about.
Reddit doesn’t have a modlog, so most of the removed comments are lost forever and there is no accountability for them, but a few of them can be seen through Reveddit, and the ones I see are not off topic or ideological rants. For instance the first one I see is
Are they going to shoot up the wrong car with innocent ladies in it again looking for this guy? Edit: Guess they managed to take him down without hitting any civilians, I guess good job for only killing the bad guy
Obviously referring to the Chris Dorner shootings which would be very relevant here, in a very reasonable way. I think it’s fair to assume that r/news moderators simply don’t want that guy mentioned at all.
