Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

“I then placed the ambulance into park, took my foot off the brake, undid my seat belt and opened the driver’s side door. I looked up and suddenly the entire group of officers…were crowded around the open car door, some of them leaning forward towards me, inches from my face.”

An agent, the driver recalled, “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner and began viciously yelling in my face, stating, ‘DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU, I WILL ARREST YOU RIGHT NOW.’”

    I try to do that. However not all articles when posted as a link will render the picture. And I have a theory that posts without a picture get skipped more often. So I actually did post this one as a link first just to see and noticed the picture in the link didn’t render and then changed it, with the link in the post body

    Honestly there should be a way to add a hyperlink to a picture bit the way Lemmy does it all pictures are links to the file path on the instance so I haven’t found a good workaround yet.

      That’s an error with your frontend. File a bug report. Don’t replace links with photos just because your frontend of choice has a bug.

        I’ll do what I think will increase visibility to more people while following the community rules.
