A police officer is then heard saying, “We’re letting you go. You can’t come back. If you come back, you will be arrested.”

Carroll is heard to say, “OK.”

It feels like this would have been a good time for follow up questions to clarify what, specifically, they're threatening to arrest him for, rather than just "OK."

True, though I was on kbin initially and found the microblogging stuff easy enough to just ignore.

Not to imply it isn't an asinine reason to ban you, but that's not a complete sentence.

"The negotiations could have been a Signal chat" would be be, but what you have is a dependent clause that does not contain a verb indicating what the negotiations did.

it defeats the entire purpose of Lemmy

Piefed is a separate software, so more aligned with lemmy than a specific instance. Moot point right now, as there's only a handful of instances.

I think the real answer is less advocating against Piefed (which is getting some preference thanks to QoL additions for community management, I think), but rather advocate for some of the larger communities moving to Piefed to spin up a whole new instance.

As an aside, it seems like mbin isn't getting any love throughout this process.

What a pointless article. It doesn't even address the key line of the law they're using for justification, which states "Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia." That detail should be the main topic of discussion when the governor is actively against the involvement of the National Guard.

No, but it is marked nsfw which might not be visible based on settings. Original source is cited as https://bsky.app/profile/chadloder.bsky.social/post/3lr5v46pmdk2r

Not even escalate, just retaliate at the same level. The first part of the video isn't what will get played on or matter to the viewers of fox news.

No commander in his right mind would trap their troops on low ground like that unless it was a sacrifice.

Or they know the violent threat they're using as justification is total fiction.

Something about "not sending their best."

Given how they ran things, I think it'd be most fair to allow grok to interview each of them an assign the method it sees fit on a case by case basis.
